Software engineer by training, one-person studio by choice. linenbuilt exists because I kept seeing the same gap: some of the most important work out there, represented online by websites that didn't do it justice.
I've spent the last five years as a software engineer, mostly building web products for other people's companies. Somewhere along the way I started noticing a pattern: therapy — some of the most personal, most human work there is — was so often represented online by websites that felt anything but human. Generic templates, stock photography, layouts that could just as easily be selling software or sneakers.
Psychotherapists spend years training to sit with people through some of their hardest moments. Their website is often the very first impression a potential client gets — sometimes before that person has worked up the courage to reach out at all. That first impression matters more here than in almost any other industry I'd worked with.
So I started linenbuilt: a small, focused practice building one-page websites exclusively for therapists — hand-coded, fast, and built with the same care I'd want if it were my own practice on the line.
Most website builders trade control for convenience. You get something live quickly, but you're stuck with someone else's design decisions, code bloated with features you'll never use, and plugins that quietly collect more visitor data than you'd probably want them to.
I write every line of HTML and CSS myself. No WordPress, no Squarespace, no page builder. That means your site loads fast, carries no hidden trackers or bloat, and can be shaped exactly around your practice — not squeezed into a template built for florists and photographers.
Client trust is the foundation of therapy work, and that trust starts before anyone even books a session. That's part of why every linenbuilt site is privacy-conscious by default: no invasive tracking, no unnecessary third-party scripts, clear and honest privacy policies written in plain English.
It's a detail most web designers don't think twice about. For a therapy practice, it isn't optional.
"I build these sites the way I'd want mine built — carefully, honestly, and without cutting corners you'd never see but I would."
If any of that resonates, I'd love to hear about your practice.
