Who should not hire Itersi (and who to hire instead)

Itersi is a good fit for most solo dietitians, nutritionists and health coaches who want a custom website soon, at a clear price. It's not a good fit if you need a shop, a course platform, managed ads, a designer who is also a dietitian, or a large group-practice build. Here's the honest list, and who to look for instead.

Quick check

1. You want a designer who is also a registered dietitian

Some dietitians feel more at ease working with a fellow RD, especially in eating disorder or weight-inclusive care. That's a fair reason to choose. Omar, who runs Itersi, isn't a dietitian. We write from your answers and you approve every health-related sentence, but if a shared credential matters to you, look for a dietitian-founded design studio. Our post on whether your designer needs to be a dietitian covers the trade-offs.

2. You want someone to run all your marketing

We build websites and offer SEO care. We don't run Facebook or Google ads, manage Instagram, or write your newsletters. If you want one company handling ads, social media and SEO each month, a health and wellness marketing agency fits better. Expect a monthly retainer.

3. You're selling products, courses or memberships

We don't build online shops, course platforms or member areas. If selling programs online is the heart of your business, start with a platform built for it, like Kajabi, and add a simple website later, or link the two.

4. You need a client portal or custom software

Client records, intake forms and messaging belong in your practice platform (Practice Better, Healthie, SimplePractice and others), not on your website. We connect your site to it; we don't build software.

5. You run a large group practice

Group practices of up to 5 clinicians fit our normal packages. Bigger groups with many locations, insurance pages per state and a full team section need more planning, so we quote them first. Some studios publish group packages, which may suit you better.

6. You love building and editing your own site

If you enjoy designing pages yourself and want to change the layout every week, a Squarespace or Wix site you control fully may suit you better. Our Itersi vs Squarespace designers post compares the two.

7. You need it today

Our 7 days start once we have your answers to the start form. If you need a page live this afternoon, a one-page builder will be quicker.

8. You want guaranteed results

We'll build a clear, fast site with basic SEO done properly. We won't promise rankings, clients or income, because nobody honest can. Be careful with anyone who does.

If none of these sound like you

Then Itersi is probably a good fit. In the hundreds of dietitian websites I worked on before Itersi, most practices needed the same few things: a clear first line, visible credentials and states, a booking button that works on a phone, and a section for each specialty. That's what every $497 Launch site includes.
