From DIY to Done-For-You: What to Expect When You Hire a Kajabi Website Designer
You’ve heard Kajabi is a great platform for coaches, and it is.
But now you’re at a crossroads:
Do you try to DIY it using a template?
Or hire a Kajabi expert to create something custom and strategic?
If you’ve been in DIY mode for a while, it can be hard to imagine what it’s like to not do everything yourself. You might even wonder…
“Is hiring a Kajabi website designer really worth it?”
“What will they do that I can’t do with a template?”
“Will it still feel like me?”
Let’s break it down, so you know exactly what to expect, what you’re investing in and how the right designer can elevate not just your Kajabi site… but your entire coaching business.
The Truth: Kajabi Makes It Easy to Build a Website, But Not a Brand
Yes, Kajabi gives you drag-and-drop tools.
Yes, there are templates.
But what Kajabi doesn’t give you is:
A brand strategy tailored to your niche
Thoughtful, conversion-driven copy
Cohesive visual identity (colours, fonts, layout)
Strategic user experience that moves people to action
Custom touches that elevate your site beyond “just another coach page”
DIY Kajabi sites tend to look the same, and that’s a problem if you want to stand out, charge more, or attract high-level clients.
What Does a Kajabi Website Designer Actually Do?
Every designer works a little differently, but at Designs For Growth, here’s what my done-for-you Kajabi website process typically includes:
1. Brand Discovery & Strategy
We start with a deep dive into your coaching business: your niche, your values, your ideal clients, your offers, and your voice.
This informs every design and copy decision that follows.
2. Visual Brand Identity
If you don’t already have a logo, colour palette, or brand fonts, I’ll create a custom identity that reflects the feel of your work — calming, bold, soulful, strategic, whatever’s true to you.
3. Website Copy Guidance (or Collaboration)
Not everyone loves writing about themselves. I’ll either guide you through what to say and where, or polish your drafts so your copy is clean, clear, and high-converting.
4. Custom Kajabi Design & Layout
This is where everything comes together. I build a fully branded site inside Kajabi — homepage, about, offers, booking, opt-ins, sales pages — so your site feels you from top to bottom.
5. Mobile Optimisation & Tech Setup
Your site won’t just be pretty — it’ll be functional, responsive, and ready for launch. I’ll also connect your email automations, booking tools, and basic SEO setup.
6. Launch Support
When it’s go time, I’ll make sure you feel confident and supported, with a walkthrough, checklist and optional launch graphics if needed.
What You’re Really Investing In
You’re not just paying for “a website.” You’re investing in:
Clarity — so you stop second-guessing your message or layout
Confidence — so you can finally promote your business without cringing
Credibility — so your dream clients feel trust from the very first click
Time freedom — so you can focus on coaching, not cobbling tech together
Templates are fine — until you’re ready to go from side-hustle energy to serious business presence.
That’s when done-for-you design pays off.
What It’s Like to Work With Me
My clients say things like:
“You saw the vision I couldn’t put into words and made it real.”
“I finally feel proud to share my site.”
“You made something that feels like me, but elevated.”
I’m not here to force a style or box you into a design trend.
I’m here to translate your brilliance into a brand and Kajabi site that’s authentic, aligned, and ready to grow with you.
The process is collaborative, friendly, and strategic — no overwhelm, no jargon, no ghosting.
