Web Design for Doctors

Patients google you
before they call.

Practice websites that build trust, answer patient questions in advance and take the pressure off your phone — professional, GDPR-compliant and accessible.

Sound familiar?

Four sentences we hear from practices again and again.

“The phone never stops ringing — and half the calls are questions about hours or procedures.”

A good website answers the standard questions before anyone calls: consultation hours, holidays, insurance, directions, what to bring. Every call saved is time for your patients.

“An acquaintance built our website back in 2015 — nobody has touched it since.”

Outdated hours, dead links and a design that fails on mobile cost trust — patients start wondering whether the practice even still works that way. And Google noticeably downranks outdated sites.

“New patients find the directory portals first — not us.”

If you can only be found for “specialty + town” via directory portals, you leave the first impression to a portal full of competitors’ ads. Your own fast website with local SEO wins that spot back.

“We’re not even allowed to advertise — what good would a website do?”

Medical advertising law sets limits, but factual information is expressly permitted. That is exactly what a good practice website delivers: services, qualifications, procedures — professional instead of promotional.

Yes, that sounds familiar — let’s talk for 30 min

Experience it, don’t take our word

See the difference

This is how your practice website feels to patients on a smartphone – built the ordinary way versus by WelleWest. Both load at the same time.

Site builder or WordPress – the patient waits. Many call elsewhere.

What we actually do

Three things must be right
for your website to take work off your plate.

The website itself, findability and measurability – we take care of all three.

01

A site that builds trust

Loads in under 1 second and answers what patients really want to know: hours, insurance, services, directions – on mobile too.

The technology behind it: hand-built code instead of a site builder, optimised images, physician markup for Google (consultation hours right in the search result).

02

Get found when patients search

Your practice shows up when someone googles “specialty + town” – with your own website instead of only directory portals.

The technology behind it: local SEO, structured data and a cleanly aligned Google Business Profile.

03

You see what it delivers

A monthly report in plain language: how many appointment requests came through your website – and where they came from. In black and white whether the site pays off.

The technology behind it: conversion tracking per enquiry, GDPR-compliant and reliably measured – even with an ad blocker.

Practice-specific building blocks

What every one of our practice websites includes.

🩺
Service pages in plain language

Every service with its own page — check-ups, diagnostics, treatments — explained clearly instead of in medical jargon. Patients know what to expect before their appointment.

📅
Appointment requests without the phone

Standard: a request form with preferred date and concern — sent straight to your practice inbox. Premium: connection to your existing online appointment booking system for real-time bookings.

🕐
Consultation hours always up to date

Holidays, locum cover, changed hours: you send us a short note, we update it — no extra invoice. The hours also appear directly in the Google search result.

👥
Team & practice

Doctors and team with photos and qualifications, plus clear information: public or private practice, which insurers, how billing works. That answers the most common patient question in advance.

🔒
GDPR & confidentiality

Encrypted forms, tracking only after consent, no health data collected through the website. Set up for the special relationship of trust that defines a medical practice.

Accessibility

WCAG 2.1 AA: clear contrast, larger type, screen-reader friendly. Especially important for practices — many patients are older or have impaired vision.

Four guarantees

What we put in writing for you.

Lighthouse 90+

Your site demonstrably loads fast — or we don’t take a cent of the setup fee.

Accessible

WCAG 2.1 AA from the start — important for your patients and mandatory with online appointment booking.

🔑
Ownership instead of lock-in

When the contract ends, you receive the complete website as ready-to-use files — no hostage model.

⏱️
Response time

We answer email enquiries within 24 hours – usually much faster on working days.

What we do not promise: specific patient numbers, the top spot on Google or a full appointment book overnight. Anyone who promises that is lying.

What would that mean for my practice? — Request a call

Honestly speaking

Who we are not the right fit for.

The honest 10-second check: three statements, three answers – and you know whether we are a match.

You like tinkering with your website yourself?

With us, we handle all changes — in return, the technology stays untouchably fast. We deliberately do not offer a site builder for self-editing.

Central clinic guidelines?

Outpatient clinics and centres bound to a corporate system — there you (and we) have no say.

A full appointment book overnight?

A website alone does not conjure up patients — visibility is ongoing work (see our three-gears methodology).

None of these apply?

Then we are probably the right fit for each other. Book a diagnosis call – 30 min, free →

Frequently asked questions

What practices ask us most often.

Are doctors even allowed to advertise with a website?

Medical advertising law sets limits — but factual information is expressly permitted. That is exactly what a good practice website delivers: services, qualifications, consultation hours and procedures, presented professionally instead of promotionally.

Can patients book appointments through the website?

The standard is an appointment request form that goes straight to your practice inbox. As a premium option, we integrate your existing online appointment booking system directly into the website — patients then book in real time.

How do consultation hours and holidays stay up to date?

A short email or phone call is enough — we update holidays, locum cover or changed hours for you, without an extra invoice. That way no patient ever stands in front of a closed door because the website was out of date.

What about GDPR and patient data?

Forms are transmitted encrypted, tracking only runs after explicit consent, and no health data is collected through the website. The cookie solution is set up GDPR-compliant — correct from day one.

What does a practice website from WelleWest cost?

A one-time €790 setup, then €99–249 per month – everything included: hosting, maintenance, changes and support. Only a 12-month minimum term, and the website is yours from day one. All prices net.

How long does the setup take?

Depending on scope, 2–4 weeks from the order, slightly longer with appointment system integration. After that we handle the content updates: you send us a short note, we change it – without an extra invoice.
