If you’re a coach of any kind in 2025—life coach, fitness coach, business mentor, relationship coach, or any other type of personalised support—you need to have a professional website. Your website is all of these things: a store, a portfolio, a sales tool, and a way to build trust.
And the best part?
You don’t have to pay a lot of money to a developer to get started.
I show you step-by-step how to make a beautiful, high-converting coaching website with WordPress and Elementor in my full YouTube tutorial, even if you’re a complete beginner. This blog post turns the whole video into a written guide that you can use whenever you need it.

I always suggest that you watch the video first before we get started. It will help you see each step clearly:
How to Use Elementor and WordPress to Make a Coaching Website (2025)
Here is the full process for beginners in 2025, explained in a way that is easy to understand and doesn’t use too much technical language.
Step 1: Picking the Right Hosting and Setting Up WordPress
Hosting and installing WordPress are the first steps for every website. In the video, I show you how to choose a good hosting provider, but the most important thing for 2025 is to pick:
- Fast servers (preferably SSD or NVMe)
- 24/7 support
- Free SSL certificate
- Easy WordPress installer
After buying your hosting plan, go to your hosting dashboard and look for the “One-Click WordPress Install” option.
Fill out your information, click “install,” and WordPress will be ready in less than a minute.
You’ll now have access to: yourwebsite.com/wp-admin
Log in with your credentials — and you’re in!
Step 2: Set up the basic settings for WordPress (this is important for SEO in 2025)
In your WordPress dashboard, click on:
- Settings > Permalinks > Pick Post Name
- General → Title and Tagline of the Site
- Turn on HTTPS/SSL
- Remove the default sample pages and posts.
These little things will help your coaching website stay clean, professional, and good for search engines from the start.
Step 3: Install Elementor & Your Theme
A.Install Your Theme
Astra is still the best theme for coaches who are just starting out in 2025 because it is light, customisable, and works well with Elementor.
To set up:
- Go to Appearance > Themes
- Click Add New
- Search for Astra
- Install & activate
B. Install Elementor
- Go to Plugins > Add New
- Search for Elementor
- Install & activate
Elementor lets you design by dragging and dropping, which is great for making a coaching website without coding.
Step 4: Add important plugins
In the video, I only suggest plugins that are absolutely necessary to keep your site fast and clean:
- Elementor (required)
- WPForms or Fluent Forms (for contact forms)
- Rank Math SEO
- Starter Templates (optional for beginners)
- WP Mail SMTP (for email delivery)
Avoid installing unnecessary plugins to maintain speed and stability.
Step 5: Pick a coaching template or start from scratch.
You have two choices with Elementor:
Option 1: Use a Template for Coaching That Is Already Made
Great for people who are just starting out. Some examples of templates are:
- Home page
- About page
- Services page
- Contact page
- Booking/appointment section
Simply import and customize.
Option 2: Start from scratch.
If you want your layout to feel unique and branded, do it manually.
- Hero section with headline and call to action
- About section
- Services/Programs section
- Testimonials
- Booking section
- Contact form
Both methods are great. The tutorial video shows both so you can pick the one that works best for you.
Step 6: Use Elementor to make your homepage
This is the fun part: let’s make your coaching brand look good.
A. Hero Section
Your hero section should have:
- A strong, clear headline, like “Transform Your Life with Personalized Coaching”
- A subheading that tells people what you can do for them
- A strong call to action, like “Book Your Free Session”
- A professional photo or illustration
In Elementor:
- Add a full-width section
- Insert a Heading widget
- Insert Text Editor
- Insert Button widget
- Style with your brand colors and fonts
B. About Section
