DIY vs Professional Halaxy Setup: Which Is Right for You?

Setting up your practice systems is a big task—especially when it comes to getting Halaxy running smoothly. It’s packed with features and options, but figuring out where to start and how to structure it for your business can be challenging.

Whether you’re preparing for launch or cleaning up a clunky setup, the big question is:
Should you do it yourself, or hire someone to set it up for you?

Let’s unpack the pros and cons—because while both approaches work, one might suit you better in the long run.

The DIY Setup: Smart, Strategic, and Surprisingly Doable

If you’re confident using a computer and don’t mind following a process, DIY setup can be a great option. We’ve worked with many health professionals who’ve successfully set up Halaxy themselves—with excellent results.

Why? Because:

• You understand your clients, your branding, your workflows—no one else knows your business like you do.

• You can make decisions on the fly without having to explain or translate your vision to someone else.

• Most importantly: you’ll understand how to update and adapt your system as your business grows.

That last one is a big deal. Your services, fees, forms, and team will evolve—and when you’ve set things up yourself, you’re not reliant on someone else to make changes down the track.

Why DIY makes sense for the right person:

• Customisation is easier when you’re hands-on.

• You build confidence in managing your own systems.

• You save money while gaining a skillset that supports long-term growth.

We’ve seen great results from those who follow a structured process—which is exactly why we created:

The Professional Setup: Best for the Time-Poor or Tech-Wary

On the flip side, there are times when outsourcing is absolutely the right call. If you’re flat out with patients, setting up under pressure, or you simply don’t enjoy tech—then a done-for-you setup is worth considering.

If you decide to outsource, look for a provider who will work closely with you to align the system to your specific needs. A good Halaxy setup specialist should take the time to understand your practice structure, your client journey, and your preferences—so your system doesn’t just work, it works for you.

There will still be some collaboration involved to get the details just right—your input is essential—but the bulk of the setup should be taken off your plate.

Professional setup is a good fit if:

• You’re extremely short on time

• You find systems and tech overwhelming

• You want a clear, fast, guided setup experience

So, What’s the Best Fit?

Here’s our honest take:

• If you’ve got time and a bit of tech confidence, DIY is often the better choice. It gives you flexibility, control, and long-term know-how.

• If you’re short on time or want it done quickly, a professional setup can ease the pressure and fast-track your systems.

But if you can manage it, we strongly recommend the DIY route—with guidance.

It’s empowering, cost-effective, and sets you up with the skills to manage and adapt your own systems as your practice evolves.
