Medical website design for patients choosing a doctor

Medical website design for Australian GP and specialist practices: help patients choose a doctor, check billing and book without ringing reception.

Medical website design built around choosing a doctor

Rock Solid Marketing provides medical website design for GP and specialist practices across Australia: websites that help patients choose a doctor, understand your billing and book. It's part of our healthcare marketing.

Patients ask your website the same questions they ask reception. Is the doctor taking new patients? Does she speak Italian? Do you bulk bill, and on which days? Can I see someone by telehealth? When the site can't answer, the phone rings, and reception spends the morning repeating itself.

Website packages start from $5,000 + GST. The first step is a free 30-minute discovery call.

Common problems

What gets in the way, and how we fix it

  1. Reception spends hours answering the same questions.

    What we do

    We put new-patient status, billing, hours, telehealth and after-hours details where patients look first, and keep them easy to update.

  2. Our site still lists doctors who left last year.

    What we do

    Doctor profiles your practice manager can edit in minutes, so the site matches the roster without waiting for a developer.

What we build

Medical web design that answers patients before they ring

Every page covers what patients ask reception, with a clear way to book.

Doctor profiles patients use

Each doctor's interests, languages, qualifications and days in clinic, with their title checked against their registration. Patients pick the right doctor first time.

Booking that links your platform

We link the online booking you already use, such as HotDoc or HealthEngine, from every doctor profile and every page.

Billing and new-patient details

Bulk billing, private fees, telehealth, new-patient status and after-hours care set out plainly, so patients arrive knowing what to expect.

Secure forms for health information

Health information is sensitive information under the Privacy Act 1988. Forms run over SSL, collect only what you need and go to the right inbox.

Responsive on every screen

Pages, menus and booking buttons resize for phones and tablets, because most patients look up their doctor on a phone.

Easy for your practice manager

Hours, doctors, holidays and notices are simple to change, so the site stays current without a support ticket.

How it works

From the first call to launch day

Four stages, with your feedback built in before anything goes live.

  1. Discovery call

    A free 30-minute call to scope your pages, features and budget against our website packages.

  2. Design and feedback

    We design the site around your brand and content, with rounds of feedback along the way. Essentials includes three rounds.

  3. Build and launch

    We build on a content management system you can update yourself, set up the search basics and test the site on phones and desktops.

  4. Hosting and care

    Keep the site secure and up to date with Australian hosting from $400 + GST a year and a care plan from $275 + GST a month (minimum 6 months).

The rules

Medical practice website design under AHPRA's guidelines

A practice website is advertising under the National Law, so AHPRA's guidelines apply to every page. That rules out testimonials about clinical care, misleading claims and any promise of results. Titles matter too: 'specialist' is a protected title, used only for doctors registered as specialists in that field.

We check doctor profiles against their registration, keep clinical claims to what your practice confirms, and your practice signs off before launch. Accessibility is part of it: we build to WCAG 2.2 AA, because your patients include people with low vision and limited mobility.

  • No testimonials about clinical care
  • Doctor titles matched to registration
  • Health information collected securely
  • Built to WCAG 2.2 AA
  • Practice sign-off before launch

Clear for patients, careful with every claim.

All FAQs

Website packages start from $5,000 + GST for up to 5 pages, or 6 monthly payments of $833 + GST. As an estimate, most practice sites fit our Standard package (from $6,500 + GST). Linking booking and patient forms adds a few hours at $175 + GST an hour, so expect about $7,000 to $8,000 + GST. If a refresh will do, we'll tell you before we quote.

Start from the questions patients ask reception, then build a page for each: doctors, services, billing, hours, telehealth and booking. Keep the menu short and the booking button on every page. Write in plain English, check every claim against AHPRA's guidelines, and test it on a phone before launch.

A professional medical website looks calm, loads fast and keeps details current. Use real photos of your practice and doctors, consistent colours and readable type. Remove anything out of date, from old doctors to last winter's flu clinic. Professional also means accessible, so build to WCAG 2.2 AA.

Good medical websites come from designers who understand health advertising rules, accessibility and how patients book. Look for a medical website company that has built health sites, links your booking platform and writes in plain English. A medical website agency should also leave your practice manager able to update the site.

Responsive design matters because most patients look up their doctor on a phone, often while unwell or on the way to an appointment. A responsive site resizes menus, text and booking buttons to fit any screen. Without it, patients pinch and zoom, then give up and ring reception.

List your doctors, services, billing policy and booking platform, then gather photos and practitioner details. Choose a package that fits the page count, and agree who will update hours and rosters after launch. Your medical practice website should launch with every doctor profile and booking link checked.

Not reviews about clinical care. AHPRA's guidelines treat your website as advertising, and testimonials about clinical care aren't allowed in health advertising. You can link to your Google profile, where patients review independently. Medical clinic website design should keep your own pages to checkable facts instead.

Yes, website design for doctors in specialist rooms follows the same approach, with referral information for GPs added. Each specialist's profile shows their field, as registered, along with consulting locations and how to get a referral. The protected title 'specialist' is used only where registration allows.
