WordPress Website Design for Plant Based Kids
Plant Based Kids is an online plant-based nutrition practice and education hub run by Paula Hallam BSc (Med)(Hons) RD, PG Cert, based in Kingston. Paula is a registered specialist paediatric dietitian with 25 years experience offering professional, evidence-based nutrition advice for families who would like to raise their children plant-based or “mostly” plant-based.
When Paula came to me in 2024, she was launching an entirely new business. I’d previously built a website for her in 2017 for Tiny Tots Nutrition, but Plant Based Kids was a fresh venture with a completely different business model. This wasn’t just a brochure site—it needed to be the foundation of her entire practice, handling subscriptions, memberships, courses, consultations, resources, and e-commerce, all working together seamlessly.
I built a custom WordPress site with WooCommerce that manages every aspect of her business. The site sells her book, courses, and downloadable resources, runs a monthly subscription community with weekly Q&As, offers a membership programme with one-to-one consultations, and provides secure resource hubs for both. Each product automatically grants the right access to the right content. It’s a complex system built to be reliable, easy for Paula to manage, and straightforward for families to use.
