A doctor or private practice website is no longer optional — it is the first impression most patients form before they ever call. A clear site presents your services, qualifications, working hours and location, and makes it easy to book an appointment online. This guide walks through hosting, theme choice, online booking, GDPR-compliant patient data handling and local SEO that wins "ordination [city]" searches.

How to Build a Doctor Website

1

Choose hosting and a domain

Pick BeoHosting STANDARD or higher: 40 GB NVMe, free SSL (mandatory for patient data), daily backups, LiteSpeed Cache. Register a .com domain like dr-surname.com.

2

Choose a medical WordPress theme

Use a theme designed for medical practices with appointment forms, doctor profiles, service pages and testimonials — MediCenter, MedicalPress or an Astra child theme.

3

Set up online appointment booking

Use Bookly, Amelia or Simply Schedule Appointments. Define services, durations, doctors and availability calendar. Send automatic confirmation and reminder emails.

4

Make the site GDPR-compliant

Add a clear privacy policy, cookie banner with consent, explicit consent checkboxes on contact and booking forms. Store patient data only as long as necessary, never send sensitive info via plain email.

5

Optimize for local SEO

Target "cardiologist London", "paediatrician Manchester", "dentist near me". Register Google Business Profile, add LocalBusiness schema, gather Google reviews.

6

Add testimonials and trust signals

Show patient testimonials, link to Google reviews, display certificates, memberships and years of experience. Photos of the office and team build additional trust.

FAQ

Answers to the most common questions about our services.

Yes, as long as you handle patient data per GDPR/local data protection rules: privacy policy, explicit consent for personal data, SSL encryption, minimal data retention.

WordPress dominates because of the rich selection of medical themes and booking plugins (Bookly, Amelia). It is SEO-friendly, easy to update and works well on BeoHosting STANDARD.

Yes — a dedicated page per service (ultrasound, gynecological exam, dental implants) is essential for SEO. Each page targets a different long-tail keyword and converts patients searching for that specific service.

BeoHosting STANDARD ~€7-10/month, .com domain ~€12/year, medical theme €40-80 one-time, booking plugin free to €50/year. Total: €100-200/year.

We recommend listing at least indicative prices. Patients often check prices before booking, and a site without them can put people off. You can publish a price list with a note that "prices are indicative and may vary by case". If you prefer not to show exact figures, give at least a range (e.g. "first consultation: €28.21-€47.01"). Pricing transparency builds trust, and it also helps SEO because people search for things like "dermatologist consultation price".
