1WeekSites vs Linktree
1WeekSites vs Linktree for online fitness coaches.
Linktree is a link list, not a website. It is genuinely fine for the first six months of a coaching business when you are still testing your offer. After that, it starts costing you clients you will never know about, because serious buyers check the link in bio, see a list of Instagram URLs, and decide quietly that you are not a real business yet. Most coaches keep using it for eighteen months longer than they should.
Side by side
How the two stack up on the things that matter.
| 1WeekSites | Linktree | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | £1,000 one-off | Free or £12 per month |
| Copy written for you | Yes, all of it | No, you write the labels |
| Conversion-focused layout | Yes | No, it's a list |
| Own your domain | Yes | No, lives on linktr.ee |
| SEO presence | Yes, indexed pages | No |
| Testimonials on-page | Built in | Link out only |
| Time to set up | 5 business days, done for you | 10 minutes, DIY |
| Looks like a real business | Yes | Not once you hit £3k per month |
When Linktree is actually fine
- You are under six months in and still testing your offer and niche
- You are posting but not actively trying to convert profile visitors into clients
- You have zero budget and genuinely no testimonials yet
When 1WeekSites is the move
- You are getting enquiries through Instagram and losing them at the link-in-bio stage
- You have had the same Linktree for over a year and it is quietly embarrassing
- Your closest competitors have real websites and you do not
- You want a business asset you own, not a page on someone else's platform
How the switch works
Zero downtime, zero drama.
Keep Linktree live during the build. We launch the new site on Friday, you swap the link in bio on Monday. Zero downtime, zero lost traffic.
Common questions
Questions people ask before they book.
Can I keep Linktree and also have a website?
Some coaches do for a while. Most retire Linktree within a week of going live because the website covers everything it was doing and adds the things it couldn't.
What about Stan Store or Beacons?
Same category, same limits. If you want a real business asset you own, the answer is a proper website rather than swapping one link-in-bio tool for another.
