The Challenge

Sahana Therapeutics is an Ayurvedic therapy practice offering personalized wellness and body treatments. As a sole practitioner, the client needed a professional web presence to look credible and book appointments online, but struggled with two common options:

  • Expensive Agencies: Quotes of $2,000+ setup fees and $50–$100/mo ongoing hosting and CMS fees, which was far too expensive for a new practice.
  • DIY Page Builders: Tools like Squarespace or Wix cost $300+/year, load slowly on mobile, and are complex for non-technical users to set up correctly (DNS record setup, SPF/DKIM authentication, etc.).

Our Solution

We designed and built a completely customized, lightning-fast website matching their calm, clinical aesthetic. The solution included:

  • Astro static frontend to guarantee instantaneous page load speeds and perfect SEO structures.
  • Decap CMS integration, allowing the client to log into a secure dashboard and edit their own page text and blog updates.
  • AWS S3 & CloudFront hosting, providing enterprise-grade security and auto-scaling, costing literally pennies to host.
  • Zoho Mail configuration for professional business email, fully protected with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC settings to guarantee email delivery.
  • Formspree / AWS Lambda integrations to route contact requests securely to their inbox.

The Impact

Within 24 hours of launch, the client had a fully functioning web presence that load-tested with a **100/100 performance score**. Since deploying on AWS via Terraform, the monthly hosting bill has remained at **$0.00** (under AWS Free Tier, and estimated at less than $0.50/mo afterwards).

Client Feedback

"The site is incredibly fast and clean. Being able to update my hours and write posts without having to touch any code or pay an agency a monthly retainer is exactly what I wanted. Best decision I made for my practice."
