Speakers and coaches

Websites for speakers and coaches.

Event planners watch a clip and read your topics before they ask about a date, and coaching clients come to book a call. Those inquiries arrive through the site, so we test the forms and set up your domain's mail records, and the reel plays from a video host so it opens quickly on a phone.

What we look after

What a speaker or coaching website has to do.

Bring in speaking inquiries

Planners ask about dates, fees and travel in the inquiry form. We set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC for your domain so those messages land in your inbox.

Play the reel

Your speaking reel lives on YouTube, Vimeo or another video host and plays on the site from there, which keeps the page light.

Book discovery calls

Coaching clients book through Calendly, Acuity or a tool like them. We embed it on the site and try a booking ourselves when something changes.

Give planners a one-sheet

Planners want a one-page PDF with your topics, bio and photo. We keep the current version posted and swap it when you send a new one.

Show who you've spoken for

Testimonials from past events help a planner say yes. Email them over and we add them to the site on Managed + Website.

Sell the course or the book

If you sell a course, a book or a workshop, the checkout runs on the platform that sells it, and the site links to it.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • A conference organizer said they'd written twice through the site, and neither message arrived.
  • The speaking reel is a huge video file uploaded to the site, and it stalls on a phone.
  • The calendar link on the coaching page goes to an account you closed.
  • The topics page lists talks you stopped giving two years ago.
A note from Ryan

Send a test inquiry first

I'd send a test inquiry through a speaker's site before anything else and see where it lands. A lost booking request costs more than any other email the site sends, and planners rarely write a third time. Next I'd watch the reel on my phone over a slow connection.

Are speaking inquiries reaching your inbox?

Send us your site and we'll send a test inquiry, check the mail records behind it and see how the reel plays on a phone.

Plans

How much do you want us to do?

Organizations like yours usually go on a Custom SLA, with response times and the terms written into the contract. Smaller sites can still use Managed.

  • A development team when you need one vetted US-based developers for bigger jobs
Get started

We agree on the terms with you first.

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

Yes. A speaker or coaching site with your topics, a reel, testimonials and a booking form often fits Managed + Website: a new site of up to 10 pages, then an hour of developer time each month after launch, on a 12-month minimum.

No. Upload it to a video host and we embed it on the page. A large video file on the web server makes the page slow to open and slows down everything else on the site.

Yes. We set up a press page with your photos, bio and one-sheet as downloads, and we replace them whenever you send new ones.

Tell us when a big keynote or interview is coming and we'll cache the pages people land on beforehand. Visits aren't billed, so the busy week doesn't change what you pay.

What customers say.

Reviews from Trustpilot

A person could not find a better company for their internet needs. Customer service is number 1. Whenever we have an issue Ryan addresses the problem immediately no matter the time or day.
Cindy S.
Hosterr actually has a soul Hosterr is one of the few tech companies that I use that doesn't feel like it's trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. It works well, easy to switch and the services are fair value for my. A great fit for my marketing agency digital environment
Adam C.
Great customer service! I have multiple websites hosted on Hosterr. Setup was seamless and super easy, customer service has always been fantastic and quick to respond. I've had 100% uptime with no issues. Would recommend Hosterr to anyone looking for a reliable webhost.

I use Hosterr for multiple websites. I recommend them to anyone who needs hosting! I have never had an issue with downtime and my sites are blazing fast. Also their customer service is unmatched, leagues better than GoDaddy.
