Websites for medical practices: trustworthy, accessible and privacy-conscious
Patients search online for a practice, check office hours and book appointments. I build practice websites that build trust, take pressure off your phone line and meet the special requirements for healthcare professionals.

In brief
What a practice website should do
A good practice website answers the questions that would otherwise be asked on the phone: When are you open? Which services do you offer? Are you accepting new patients? How do I get there, and is the practice accessible? That takes pressure off your front desk team and builds trust even before the first visit.
- Up-to-date office hours: including vacations, cover arrangements and emergency service, quickly changed by you.
- Online appointments: integration of your scheduling software so fewer calls pile up.
- Team and services: explained clearly, without medical jargon.
- Accessible: easy to read and use, especially for older patients.
- Legal particularities: healthcare professionals have extended mandatory information in their legal notice and must follow professional and advertising rules when presenting their services.
- Data protection: hosting in Germany, no unnecessary services and no collection of sensitive health data through simple forms.

Frequently asked questions from practices
How much does a website for a medical practice cost?
That depends on the scope, for example the number of service pages, online appointment booking and multiple languages. After the free check, you get a fixed-price quote.
Can patients book appointments through the website?
Yes. I integrate the scheduling software of your choice. Because data flows to the provider, I make sure it is integrated in a privacy-conscious way and that your privacy policy includes the appropriate information.
What has to go into a practice's legal notice?
In addition to the usual information, healthcare professionals must include, among other things, the responsible professional chamber, the statutory professional title along with the country in which it was awarded, and a reference to the applicable professional regulations. It is best to coordinate the exact content with your chamber or a provider of legal texts.
Am I allowed to advertise my services on my website?
Yes, factual information about your practice and your services is permitted. However, healthcare professionals are subject to professional rules and the German Therapeutic Products Advertising Act (Heilmittelwerbegesetz), for example regarding promises of cures. I word the copy with restraint and coordinate it with you. This does not replace legal advice.
Does my practice website have to be accessible?
A plain practice website without online contracts usually does not fall under the German Accessibility Act (BFSG). However, older patients in particular benefit greatly from good readability and easy navigation. That's why I always build practice websites with low barriers.
Can we change office hours ourselves?
Yes. Your team changes office hours, vacations and notices themselves in a few seconds. You get a short introduction for this.
Where is the data stored?
Your website runs on my servers in Germany, with a data processing agreement. Fonts and scripts are loaded locally, without data being transferred to third-party services.
