We spend a lot of time poring over coaching websites to see what works and what doesn’t.
Before creating your own coaching website, take a look at these top 20 sites to see what works for some of the most successful business, niche, or career specialty coaches.
The criteria we used for judging these sites is simple. In addition to having a pleasing appearance and being easy to navigate, we also chose them based on:
- Attractive and modern design
- Clear explanation of what the coach does
- Professional images
- Compelling background information about the coach
- “As seen on” or “Featured in” section with reputable media sources
- Client testimonials
- A clear call to action
- Video footage of the coach
While not all of the sites meet every criteria, what they all have in common is that the homepage delivers a clear message perfectly tailored to the clients they want to attract.
The following sites will inspire you to think creatively about your own coaching website.
1. The Uncaged Life
Business and solopreneur coach Becca’s modern website hits all our criteria on her homepage. She lays out exactly what she does and for whom, all packaged in a pleasantly modern design. She also offers a free 1.5-hour video training (which you can get in exchange for your email address).

2. Nicholas Kusmich
The first thing you see on Nicholas’s website is that he helps businesses rapidly scale using Facebook advertising. Not only is he a business coach, but he’s found a specific coaching niche (we love niches!). His website clearly explains what he does, who he does it for, and what they have to say about him and his team.

I help busy people to beat burnout & create success that feels as good as it looks.” Then she offers a way to book a free 1-hour consultation, a way to subscribe to her newsletter, her blog posts, and her Instagram account.

In addition to that, he’s worked with six-, seven-, and eight-figure coaches as their CFO and personal money guy!
Website: https://moneyschool.works/
As you can see, there’s a wide variety of designs for websites, but successful ones are visually appealing with a focus on high-quality images of the coach. The messaging is simple enough to make it immediately clear who they can help, and how they are uniquely positioned to help those people achieve a meaningful goal.
Most importantly, a great coaching website makes it easy to take the next step – it has a clear call to action for people to take.
Of course, you can do a lot more to make your website stand out! But these basic elements will make sure that when your ideal clients land on your site, they know they’re in the right place and what to do next.
