Should You Build Your Own Website or Outsource It?

Building a website is one of the most important steps in starting your myofunctional therapy business. It’s your digital storefront, a tool to attract and educate clients, and a way to streamline your processes. But when it comes to creating your site, you’re faced with a big decision: should you build it yourself or outsource the work?

DIY Websites: Invest Time to Save Money

Building your own website can be a cost-effective solution, especially if you’re just starting out. Platforms like WordPress provide the flexibility and customization you need to create a professional and functional website that works for your business. While platforms like Wix may seem easier, they might lack the long-term capabilities that your business needs to grow.

A DIY website gives you control over design, functionality, and branding. You can embed schedulers, upload client resources, and make updates on your own schedule. If you’re willing to invest the time to learn, building your own website can save money and give you the skills to maintain it long-term.

Outsourcing: Invest Money to Save Time

If the thought of creating a website from scratch makes your head spin, outsourcing might be the right choice. Professional web designers can handle the setup, design, and optimization, allowing you to focus on learning myofunctional therapy and building your business. At the Ditch Hygiene Academy™, we offer a “done-for-you” program that helps you with a basic website so you can hit the ground running.

Your Website Needs to Serve You and Your Clients

Whether you DIY or outsource, your website must do two things: serve your business and serve your clients. It should:

  • Educate potential clients about their problems and the solutions you provide.
  • Build trust by offering valuable, free resources.
  • Streamline processes like scheduling, submitting forms, and downloading documents.

Make the Right Choice for Your Business

Your website is more than just a box to check—it’s a critical part of building your network, attracting clients, and growing your myofunctional therapy business. Whether you decide to invest time or money, the most important thing is to take action. Start building your website, get your name out there, and focus on creating results that will bring clients back for more.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I've taken another course?

If you've taken another course and don't feel prepared to dip your toes in, then we recommend that you invest in another course.  We've got many students who've taken multiple courses and found that our course and leadership were the bomb-diggidy that finally made things click!

Will this course give me business training too?

The Ditch Hygiene Program was designed to give you the myofunctional therapy foundation as well as learn how to start / run your business.  Throughout the entire course, you learn exactly what Carmen did to build a multi 6-figure business (soon to be 7 figure business).  Plus, you will also have several interviews and business case studies from other therapists about their own business journey.

What sets this program apart from others?

What makes the Ditch Hygiene Academy different?

The leadership of Carmen.  She empowers, educates, and encourages you along the way...while helping you become a myofunctional problem solver.  The Ditch Hygiene Academy doesn't just lure you in and leave you.  Our program leads you.  The testimony speaks volumes.

Carmen never tops mentoring and coaching you.  Your success is her success.  This is a high-touch premium level program.  There is only room for go-getters!  Carmen shows you the path and teaches you to believe in yourself, your process, and the possibilities of what life can bring!!

This program is absolutely the only one of it's kind that offers practical application for both therapy and business.  You work alongside other ambitious women who are exactly where you are...at the beginning!  Carmen is there every step of the way, from mock clients, practice clients to a real life apprenticeship!

How long can I access the material?

Your teaching cohort will be 24 weeks long, and longer if you choose to uplevel for stage 4 or 5 training.  You will have access to all materials for that length+ an additional 30 days to tie up loose ends.  If you enroll as a gold level member, you get access for the lifetime of the course! All information will be located inside your course agreement when you enroll.

Who can take the course?

Dental hygienists. We ask for proof of your credentials before finalizing your enrollment.

Do I have to get "certified"?

While there is an option in some programs to get a "certificate", it is not necessary, nor does the training guarantee your success.  Currently, myofunctional therapy is written (by the ADHA) into the scope of practice.  This means you need to get the myofunctional education, but it doesn't mean you have to pay the high expense of a "certification" program.  If you see the need for this certification, then you should seek out those programs and compare expenses to do so.  Our program has had a successful mix of those who wanted to do both.  Let's face it...you will get your education from many sources...myofunctional therapy education is not a "one and done" type of learning sequence! The Ditch Hygiene Academy is not a "certification" program and does not endorse or recommend any program.

Training does not = competency.  Keep that in mind.  It takes experience to have competency!

How will I reach people?

You learn many different tactics in the program.  There are primarily three different ways that clients were introduced to us.  1) Hygiene patient 2) Found via a search 3 ) Referred to us

You also learn about our story and how we were able to build a team and teach people.  Networking and marketing strategy is part of the step-by-step roadmap provided for you by this program.  

What if I don't like the program?

We are pretty serious about our passion to help only the serious folks.  Since this is a digital course, we do not offer a refund because you get immediate access to the material.  Please make sure you have thought your decision through before registering!  Because once you do...she is yours!!  Want to take a sneek peek?  Here is a peek at lesson 1, 5 and 8.
