From Webflow to WordPress for a Therapy Practice

A Platform the Practice Can Own

Safe Space Counselling Services is a therapy practice in Duncan, British Columbia, led by Shalene Takara. Its Webflow site had become a ceiling on the practice's plans for content, SEO and paid certification courses. We migrated the full site to WordPress on the Kadence theme, preserved the warm peach and cream identity, and built a blog the team runs on its own, a Rank Math SEO foundation and a Tutor LMS course platform with membership control. The site launched on schedule, fully owned and ready to grow.

The Challenge

Growing Past the Edges of Webflow

Safe Space Counselling Services was running on Webflow while its plans moved ahead of it. Three constraints shaped the whole project.

A platform the practice outgrew

Webflow made it hard to scale content, run an in house blog and SEO program, or hand day to day updates to the practice team without extra help.

No home for its paid course plans

The practice planned paid certification courses, starting with an EMDR companion course, and needed payments, membership and controlled access.

A warm brand that could not break

The warm peach and cream identity, friendly illustrations and calm, accessible layout all had to arrive on the new platform with nothing lost.

Calm, warm and easy to trust

What We Delivered

From Migration to Membership

A complete Webflow migration

Every page and CMS record moved to WordPress on the Kadence theme, with the original site backed up and archived before Webflow was retired.

A blog the team runs alone

Reusable post templates let the team publish content, images and SEO details on their own, with a News and Resources feed on the homepage.

SEO groundwork with Rank Math

Titles, meta data, OG tags and brand name templates cover posts, custom post types and archives, ready for the ongoing content strategy.

A paid course platform, live

Tutor LMS and ProfilePress power the EMDR companion course, with a paywall, structured modules and membership control built in.

Free course access, kept in hand

Full discount coupon codes let the practice grant selected clients free access manually, without ever opening the paywall to everyone.

A lead chatbot on a switch

The Blazly lead engine chatbot ships as a script embed the client can turn on or off herself, with documented steps and screenshots.

A twenty plus item punch list

Navigation, redirects, orphaned pages, links, copy, SEO titles and instructor attribution were all fixed in one structured quality pass.

A launch with a safety net

Domain and DNS moved through the practice's Canadian host once QA closed, with a staging to production workflow for every future change.

Launch and Workflow

Staging First, Live Second

The production launch ran through the practice's Canadian host, with domain and DNS moved once every item on the punch list was closed. The staging environment now lives on our own server at no extra charge, which removed a paid SSL add on and gave the practice a safe place to test every change before it goes live.

The Outcome

A Practice Platform Built to Last

A platform the practice owns

Content the team publishes

A course open for business

Leads captured around the clock

Hosting costs trimmed down

Trust that earned a referral

Conclusion

Owned End to End

Safe Space Counselling Services now runs on a WordPress platform it owns end to end. The team publishes its own posts, the EMDR companion course sells with access fully in the practice's control, and a staging first workflow keeps every future change safe. The old Webflow site is archived for the record, and the project closed with a review, a recommendation and a referred client.

About the Client

Safe Space Counselling Services

Safe Space Counselling Services is a therapy practice in Duncan, British Columbia, led by Shalene Takara. The practice offers individual, couples and family therapy, with a focus on healing childhood wounds, working through relationship and family struggles, and exploring cultural identity in a safe, welcoming space.

Working with Bijal has been an excellent experience. She is very professional, communicative, efficient and responsive to feedback. She has been able to handle all our project's needs, while also adapting to changes in scope. I have much enjoyed our collaboration and would not hesitate to hire her for future projects. Highly recommended! We needed to expand the scope of our project to include some custom built pieces. Bijal quickly responded to these needs by providing clear recommendations and estimates. Once approved, she immediately built out these add-ons to specification, equipping our website with greater functionality while also continuing to make progress on our other project (a major website rebuild). Working with Bijal has not only met our goals, but also exceeded our expectations. She has provided excellent work with efficiency and versatility. We will definitely keep her in mind for future projects.
