When a family is deciding where to have their baby, your website is often their first visit to your birth center. Long before they tour your birth suites, they're on their phone at 11 p.m., trying to picture what it would feel like to labor there.
That first impression matters. A lot. Especially for first-time parents who aren't sure a birth center is even an option for them.
You have skilled midwives and a caring front desk team. Maybe you also have birth tubs for water birth, the best childbirth classes in town, or a prenatal massage therapist who sends clients home glowing. Your website needs to show all of it. You need a site that:
Let's make your website feel as welcoming as your birth suites.
"You so beautifully bring together technical know-how, business smarts, a strong aesthetic and with the sensitivity and responsiveness of a doula.”
- Kara, MIDWIFE
Your birth center has grown. Has your website kept up?
Maybe your site was built back when it was just you and one other midwife. Now you have a full team, a waitlist for classes, and services your website doesn't even mention. Or maybe it was built by someone who didn't really get what a birth center does. (Not their fault. It's a niche world.)
Hi, I'm Sarah Juliusson, The Website Doula. I was a birth doula and childbirth educator for 20+ years. I trained as a midwife and earned a Master's in Perinatal Nursing. I know birth work. And I know how families choose where to give birth.
Since 2011, I've helped 350+ birth businesses launch websites and grow their online marketing. Some started as solo doulas and midwives and now run thriving agencies and birth centers.
I'll confess one thing. Designing photo galleries of gorgeous birth suites makes me want to have just one more baby. (My babies are nearly grown, so this is highly unlikely.)
Whether you need a full custom website, an expert audit, or a focused VIP Day, I'm here to help.
