Healthcare Website Design
Healthcare websites are used by people who are worried, sometimes in pain, and often on a phone. They want to know whether you treat their condition, whether you are taking patients, how soon they can be seen and what it costs. Every extra click between them and those four answers is a patient who rings somewhere else instead.
Built for healthcare providers, clinics, health groups and private practices. Describe your business in a sentence and a complete site is written and designed for you — then you edit every word of it.

Every one of these is included from the first draft. Nothing here is decoration — each answers a question your visitors are already asking.
Conditions and services, in patient language
Written the way people describe symptoms rather than the way a referral letter does. These pages are how patients find you.
Whether you are accepting patients
One of the first questions and one of the least answered. Leaving it out sends people straight to a competitor.
Clinicians with registration details
Names, qualifications and specialisms. Patients check credentials before they check anything else.
Costs or funding routes
Self-pay prices or which insurers you accept. Cost uncertainty stops more enquiries than the cost itself.
Appointments and waiting times
How to book and how soon. Speed of access is frequently the deciding factor between two providers.
Locations, access and parking
Practical detail that matters enormously to patients with mobility difficulties.
Three mistakes that cost healthcare websites customers
These come up again and again in this trade, and all three are avoidable.
- Clinical language on pages meant for patients, so nobody searching a symptom ever arrives.
- No indication of whether you are taking new patients.
- No cost or insurer information, which is the second question after availability.
- Stock photographs of clinicians who do not work there.
- No waiting time guidance, when access speed often decides the choice.
- Nothing about accessibility or parking, which matters most to your least mobile patients.
- Contact routes that lead only to a form, when unwell patients often want to speak to someone.
- No translated or plain-language versions where the local population needs them, which excludes exactly the patients with the least access elsewhere.
Six healthcare designs to start from
Every industry ships with six distinct designs. Pick one as a starting point — the layout, colours, wording and images are all yours to change afterwards.
How you get your healthcare website

One or two sentences about your healthcare is enough. No brief, no questionnaire.

Healthcare website questions
How should service pages be written?
In the words patients use about their own symptoms. Someone searching "knee pain" will never find a page titled with a clinical term.
Should costs be published?
Yes, or at least the insurers you accept. Uncertainty about cost prevents more enquiries than any published figure does.
Do waiting times matter?
Frequently they are the deciding factor. A provider who states realistic access times is chosen over one who says nothing.
Should clinicians be listed individually?
Yes, with registration and specialism. Patients research the person who will treat them, not just the organisation.
Is a phone number still necessary?
Yes. Unwell and older patients frequently prefer to speak to someone, and form-only contact is read as inaccessible.
What about accessibility information?
Publish it. Parking, step-free access and assistance matter enormously to exactly the patients who have the least ability to find out another way.
Can we update it ourselves?
Yes, and you must — availability, clinicians and fees change and stale information in healthcare causes real problems.
Should we publish information in other languages?
Where a significant part of your population needs it, yes. Those patients typically have the fewest alternative routes to the information and the greatest difficulty getting it elsewhere.
