Medical website design for Australian practices
For GPs, specialists, private clinics and medical centres that need a website built to bring in patients, show up in search and stay compliant, not just look the part.
What patients look for online
Patients searching for a practice are usually looking for something specific. The practices that do well online make it easy to find, fast.
Built for trust, and for the rules medical practices work under
Most web designers have never had to think about the AHPRA advertising guidelines. For medical practices, those guidelines govern what you can say about treatments, how you can use testimonials and what images you can show. Getting it wrong is a compliance risk, not just a design problem. I review every medical website I build against the current guidelines before it goes live.
Patient information needs the same care. I set up contact forms, booking systems and enquiry paths with the Privacy Act in mind, which means choosing the right platforms and configuring them properly.
Accessibility matters more in healthcare than almost anywhere else. Your patients include older Australians, people with disability and people who are unwell. I build every website to WCAG 2.1 AA, so it works for the people you exist to help.
What’s included in every medical website
I tailor every build to your practice and your patients. There are no generic healthcare templates.
The Presstwood Method
Three steps, the same way every time. It’s how your website ends up built around your business and its goals.
Foundation Workshop
A 90-minute workshop and a 60-minute presentation. We work out who your website is for, what it needs to do and how you’ll measure it. You keep the strategy document either way.
A website solution that suits you
I recommend what will get you there. That might be a new website, an overhaul of your current one, or no new website at all if yours is already in good shape.
Keep it working
Once you’re live, I look after the updates, security and backups, and keep improving the website as your business changes. Your team can still edit any page themselves.
Every project starts with a free 15-minute chat.
Common questions
A few things practice owners and managers ask before getting started.
Most medical website projects take six to ten weeks from kick-off to launch. The timeline depends on the size of the practice, how many service pages you need, and how quickly content and feedback come through. I give you a realistic timeline before we start, not an optimistic one.
Yes. Whether you’re a solo GP, a multi-practitioner general practice or a specialist clinic, I build the website around how your patients search and what they need to see before they book. I tailor the scope and investment to suit.
Yes. Most of my medical projects are redesigns rather than new builds. If your current site is outdated, slow or no longer reflects the quality of your practice, I’ll assess what’s worth keeping and what needs to go.
Yes, completely. You own the domain, the hosting account and everything built on it. There are no licence fees or lock-in, and if you ever move to another provider, everything comes with you.
I build every website on WordPress. It’s easy for your team to update without technical knowledge, any developer can work with it, and it grows with your practice.
