4 Wix Health Coach Website Templates
Wix is one of the easiest website builders and is often the first choice for coaches just starting. However, three big sticking points are worth mentioning:
- You are stuck with the theme you choose once you hit publish.
- You have to use Wix for hosting.
- Moving blog posts (should you leave) is a manual process.
That said, Wix has a treasure trove of health and wellness templates. These templates are free and will help you launch with ease.

7 Things to Look for in a Health Coach Website Template or Theme
Even with a template, making your website is a big time commitment. To help launch your website without any major hiccups, here are our seven top tips when using a template.
1. Adaptability
We’ve mentioned this before, but it’s worth repeating: Moving your website from one builder to another is time-consuming. Switching templates and themes are much easier than builders, so choose wisely.
If you haven’t already, check out this blog post by Ember & Co. The post covers everything you need to understand the key differences between Squarespace, Showit, and WordPress.
2. Customization
Websites are easy to break, even if you know how to code. It’s much easier to use a ready-made template to make your own.
For changing layouts, fonts, and colors, you need that flexibility. All these visual elements contribute to your brand and how clients perceive you.
3. Updates
Unlike paid themes and templates, free ones usually need maintenance. But that doesn’t mean all paid templates have unlimited support. Many expire after a year.
What does that mean for you? Ultimately, no new functionality or protection against security threats. Updating your website builder could break your website, so always look through the product terms to understand possible future costs.
4. Visual Appeal
A template might look stunning at first glance but clumsy once you change a few details.
Make sure you pick one where the layout fits your vision for the most part and doesn’t need much restructuring. Consider whether it would still fit like a glove if you change the images to your own photography on it.
5. Page Speed
More than half of your visitors will bounce if it takes three seconds or longer to access your page, so you need a fast-loading website. A slow-loading template on a demo site spells trouble.
There are also things you can do to ensure you don’t destroy what was once a fast website. For example, you can:
- Optimize your images using tools such as TinyJPG.
- Download WordPress plugins like WP Rocket.
- Buy from a great hosting provider.
To check and improve your page speed, you can use Pagespeed Insights and Pingdom.
6. Mobile Responsiveness
Mobile-friendly websites are a necessity. Double-check what the demo versions of these themes and templates look like on your phone before purchasing.
7. Navigation
If you have any issues navigating the demo version of a template, so will your visitors. A seamless experience is key to the success of your business, and that starts with your website.
