Medical clinic website design in Toronto
I design and code websites for Toronto clinics and practices, paid once. Most go live 5 to 7 days after the practitioner approves the clinical text.
A diabetes care practice, built in Russian
My Toronto healthcare project is a site for a diabetes care practice that writes for Russian-speaking patients, so every page is in Russian. Its menu has seven items:
- Home
- About the practitioner
- Services
- Articles on diabetes
- Useful information
- "Did you know"
- Contact
The phone number and email sit in the header, and a round call button sits in the bottom corner of the screen. If your patients prefer Russian or Ukrainian, I can run the whole project in that language too (more on that here).
What a doctor's clinic website in Ontario may not say
When a physician practises at your clinic, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario counts the website as advertising. Its Advertising policy makes the physician responsible for any ad "prepared by them, or on their behalf by a third party", which includes text a designer wrote. Below are four example lines that break the policy, with what can go in their place.
"Toronto's most trusted diabetes clinic"
Provision 3 bars comparing yourself with other physicians and suggesting a better service than theirs.
Diabetes care for adults, a five-minute walk from Eglinton station.
"My sugars were normal within a month!" (a patient)
A testimonial, which provision 3 rules out completely.
A page on what happens at the first appointment and what to bring.
"Every patient starts on the FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor"
Provision 3 also bars naming a specific drug, appliance or piece of equipment.
We discuss continuous glucose monitoring at your first visit.
"Our physician leads every nutrition and foot-care visit"
In a practice with several kinds of provider, provision 8 forbids implying the physician provides services they don't.
Each service page says who you will see: the physician, the dietitian or the nurse.
The provisions are quoted from the CPSO Advertising policy. Clinics where no physician practises answer to their own college instead.
Booking and intake forms that keep patient details out of analytics
What a patient types into a clinic form can be personal health information under Ontario's Personal Health Information Protection Act. Booking and custom intake forms are part of the $2,999 package.
- No third-party trackers are wired into intake forms.
- Analytics never records anything a patient types.
Who a Toronto clinic competes with in search
Broad medical terms usually go to
- Hospital networks such as UHN, Sunnybrook and Mount Sinai
- Doctor profiles on rating sites like RateMDs
What an independent clinic can win
- Its specialty plus its neighbourhood: Yonge-Eglinton, Bloor-Yorkville, the hospital cluster in North York
- The exact question a new patient types before booking, answered on its own page
- The clinic's place on Google Maps, which is set up separately for $149
I work from 18 Cedarcroft Blvd in North York, so a planning meeting at a Toronto clinic is a short drive.
Questions clinic owners ask before hiring me
Have you built a website for a medical practice in Toronto?+
Yes. I built a Russian-language site for a diabetes care practice in Toronto, with pages for the practitioner, the services, articles on diabetes, useful information and contact. The full case study is on my projects page.
What does a clinic website cost, and why three prices?+
$899 covers up to 10 pages, which is enough for a single-doctor practice. $1,499 covers up to 20 pages, so each service and each practitioner gets a page of their own. $2,999 is for a site that takes bookings or uses custom intake forms. Google Business Profile setup is a separate $149.
How long does a clinic website take?+
Usually 5 to 7 days once the clinical text is approved. Before that, the practitioner usually reads the health copy once and sends corrections.
Can patient reviews go on a physician's clinic website?+
Not as quotes the clinic picks and publishes. The CPSO Advertising policy says a physician must not advertise with a testimonial, and a clinic website is advertising under that policy. Before and after photos are a separate case: provisions 4 to 6 allow them on a website when they show a typical result, carry a statement that results are not guaranteed, and the patient has given express consent.
