BodyworkSites vs Happy Websites

BodyworkSites gives you the tools to build a site. We build it for you, and it’s yours to keep.

BodyworkSites, website software for massage therapists since 2007, also runs AMTA’s free member websites. The free plan has five pages; paid plans with scheduling and your own domain are listed at $29.95 to $64.95 a month, less than Happy Websites. You build the site yourself, and it belongs to BodyworkSites apart from your text and photos.

BodyworkSites, quickly

How much does BodyworkSites cost?

Free, or from $29.95 a month.

Its plan cards list Standard at $29.95 and Ultimate at $59.95 a month; its comparison table says $34.95 and $64.95. AMTA members pay $24.95 or $54.95. There’s no setup fee.

What does the free BodyworkSites plan include?

Five pages you build yourself.

It comes with massage templates, pre-written text and stock photos on a yourname.bodyworksites.com address, with banner ads. Paid plans drop the ads and add unlimited pages.

Is AMTA’s free website BodyworkSites?

Yes.

AMTA members get it free at amtamembers.com while they stay members in good standing, with pages like About Me, Services and Rates, Hours and Contact Me.

Do you own your BodyworkSites website?

Your text and photos, not the site.

Its agreement says every website, apart from what you add, is BodyworkSites’ property, including the theme, images and pre-written text.

How do you cancel BodyworkSites?

In your Control Panel, anytime.

There’s no contract or cancellation fee, and no prorated refund. A new premium plan gets a full refund within 30 days if you go back to the free version.

BodyworkSites FAQ

Is BodyworkSites legit?

Yes. BodyworkSites has made website software for massage therapists since 2007, says over 40,000 therapists have built sites with it, and runs AMTA’s free member websites. We found no Trustpilot or BBB profile for it, so there are few independent reviews.

How much does BodyworkSites cost?

The basic site is free. Paid plans are listed at $29.95 and $59.95 a month on its plan cards and $34.95 and $64.95 in its comparison table, and AMTA members pay $24.95 or $54.95. There’s no setup fee and no contract.

What do AMTA members get for free?

A BodyworkSites website with five pages, massage templates and pre-written text on a yourname.amtamembers.com address, free for as long as you stay an AMTA member in good standing. Scheduling, gift certificates, your own domain and unlimited pages need a paid plan.

Do I own my BodyworkSites website?

Not the site. Its service agreement says all websites, other than the content you add, are BodyworkSites’ property, and you can’t claim its themes, images or pre-written text. Your own text and photos stay yours.

Is Happy Websites a good BodyworkSites alternative?

If you’d rather not build the site yourself, yes. Happy Websites designs and writes it, with unlimited edits and a site and domain you keep, for $99 or $199 a month. BodyworkSites costs less, is free for AMTA members, and its paid plans include scheduling and gift certificates we don’t sell.
