How I design

Every site is built from five perspectives.

1

Your strategy

Who you are, what you do and why patients should choose you.

2

Your patients

Mapped by location, needs and outcomes, then written for.

3

Best practice

Benchmarked against local, national and international sites.

4

Found on Google

SEO built in from the first page, including local suburbs.

5

Visitors to patients

Clear calls to action that turn visits into bookings.

Standards on every site

  • Every page reachable in three clicks
  • Readable type, 16px or larger
  • Clear headings and short sections
  • Fast loading on mobile
  • Written to AHPRA's advertising guidelines
  • No patient testimonials about clinical care

Your website should support your strategy

Tell patients who you are, what you do, and why they should choose you. That means showing:

  • Years your practice has been open
  • Academic qualifications
  • Memberships and affiliations
  • Years of medical experience
  • Current and past positions
  • Areas of expertise
  • Your approach to care

It should also carry your plan for how patients find you, book, and are looked after while they're in your care.

1. Built around your patients

A good site connects, builds trust and turns a browser into a patient. I map who your patients are, where they live and what they need to know, then write every page for them.

Experience, expertise, location, accreditation and convenience all go on the page, because they're what patients weigh up.

2. Visitors become patients

Every page gives people a next step, at the moment they need it, so enquiries come to you instead of a competitor.

  • Online bookings
  • Click-to-call
  • Email sign-ups
  • Flu shot and script reminders
  • Patient tools and calculators
  • Videos
  • Infographics
