Websites for Dietitians: Case Study of Worksite Wellness Nutrition
A professional, user-friendly website is essential for dietitians growing a private practice. It’s not just a digital presence—it’s the first impression clients have of your brand. Websites for dietitians should communicate expertise, reflect core values, and build trust while ensuring a seamless user experience.
As a branding and Squarespace designer with over 15 years of experience, I specialize in creating websites for dietitians and wellness providers. My expertise in this niche allows me to design solutions tailored to the unique needs of health professionals, ensuring their websites are not only visually appealing but also effective in driving client engagement and growth.
In this case study, I’ll share how I worked with Nicole Hallissey, a New York City-based Registered Dietitian and founder of Worksite Wellness Nutrition, to transform her DIY website into a professional, branded platform designed to connect with clients and elevate her practice.
The Challenge: Turning a DIY Website into a Professional Brand
Nicole’s practice, Worksite Wellness Nutrition, specializes in insurance-based virtual nutrition counseling. Her mission is to make nutrition both accessible and affordable—a goal that resonates deeply with her clients.
However, her DIY website didn’t align with her growing audience or professional goals. It lacked cohesive branding, felt outdated, and didn’t effectively communicate her expertise or mission. Nicole needed a modern, polished website that would position her as a trusted professional while maintaining a warm and approachable feel.
The Design Process: Crafting a Cohesive Brand
To address these challenges, we began by defining Nicole’s vision. She wanted her brand to feel fresh, accessible, and professional—qualities that would resonate with her insurance-based clients.
From there, I developed a citrus-inspired icon to represent vitality, wellness, and Nicole’s approachable practice. This design became the foundation of her branding. Along with the icon, I created:
A versatile logo and brand mark.
A consistent color palette to evoke trust and warmth.
Typography that balanced professionalism and approachability.
These elements extended across her website, social media, and stationery, ensuring her brand felt cohesive and recognizable everywhere.
Designing the Website: Focused on User Experience
With branding in place, I turned to Nicole’s website. Using Squarespace, I designed a clean, modern layout with intuitive navigation that made it easy for clients to:
Learn about her services.
Book appointments.
Access key resources.
The website’s design emphasized functionality without sacrificing style. Subtle use of Nicole’s citrus-inspired branding tied everything together, creating a fresh, professional look.
The site was also fully optimized for mobile devices, ensuring accessibility for clients on the go.
Results: A Cohesive Brand That Drives Growth
The impact of the redesign was immediate. Nicole’s clients responded positively to the new website, praising its professionalism and ease of use. Nicole noticed an increase in client inquiries and felt confident showcasing her site to collaborators and insurance partners.
Her new website didn’t just look better—it worked better. By prioritizing user experience and aligning the design with her mission, the website became a powerful tool for connecting with clients.
Why Professional Design Matters for Dietitians
Websites for dietitians are more than an online presence—they’re a reflection of your brand and values. A DIY website might work when starting out, but it often lacks the polish and functionality needed to grow a practice.
A professionally designed website builds trust, enhances usability, and helps you stand out in a competitive market. By investing in cohesive branding and thoughtful design, dietitians can better connect with their ideal clients and build lasting relationships.
