**Disclosure About Affiliate Links:  Some of the products and services listed below are affiliate links.  That simply means I earn a commision, at no extra cost to you, if you decide to purchase. They are products and services that I use myself or at the very least come highly recommended from people I know that are using them.  

The primary purpose is to simply make recommendations, not to make a commission if you decide to purchase them.  There are many products and services to choose from out there.  These are simply a few of the ones that I either use or know about from others.  

Most importantly, use what works for you!  Many Thanks! - Gordon

Hosting and Websites

In building a private practice as a counselor, the most important tool you can have is your website.  By far, if people are going to find you, you need to have a website that is easy to navigate and has your contact information front and center.   In order to have a website the first two things you need to do is purchase your domain and set up your hosting services.  Bluehost is a highly recommended service for doing this.  Also check out my blog post on domain names and hosting which goes into more detail.

It provides you with a clear roadmap with EVERY step needed to create a professional-looking website so you know exactly what you need to do and when to do it".
