Here at Dental Media one of our core activities is the creation of high-quality websites for dentists, something we\u2019ve been doing since the late 1990s and now with over 2000 sites built during that time. We\u2019ve seen web technology change dramatically, from the earliest \u201cstatic html\u201d websites, through the advent of mobile-optimised design, to the latest content management systems and CRM integrations.<\/p>\n
One of the key features of modern dental website design is that it takes time to do well \u2013 typically 3 or 4 weeks per website. This excludes complementary activities such as writing content, SEO work etc. So it\u2019s quite a substantial, time-intensive task.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve searched around for website pricing recently, you\u2019ll have seen a huge disparity in the pricing, from a few hundred pounds for a DIY system, to \u00a310k+ at the other end of the spectrum. Both of those extremes are \u201cno go\u201d territory in our opinion \u2013 at the cheap end, you get something that will look very amateurish and not represent your business professionally, whilst at the other end, you\u2019re paying way over-the-top for zero advantage.<\/p>\n
Realistically, you should expect to pay in the region of \u00a34 \u2013 6k for a high-quality dentist’s website<\/a> with sufficient scope to provide a solid foundation in Google and represent your practice, team and treatments professionally. If you consider that such a website takes 3 to 4 weeks of dedicated work to complete, then those figures should not really come as a surprise – it covers the developer\u2019s business costs and allows for a reasonable profit, or at least it should.<\/p>\n Another important comparison is with websites for non-dental businesses and how much they cost. Typically you will see prices for general business websites also in the \u00a34 \u2013 6k range \u2013 so not at the extreme top end prices you will see advertised by some dental design companies. This begs the question, why should dentists expect to pay more than any other business for their website? Unfortunately this is another example of the \u201cdental tax\u201d where suppliers exploit dentists where they can get away with it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Just because a website isn\u2019t costing you \u00a310k, doesn\u2019t mean that you should expect a diminished feature set. The websites here at Dental Media include:<\/p>\n We also provide fast and secure website hosting in a UK based ISO27001 approved data centre.<\/p>\n So it\u2019s perfectly possible to get a fully-featured, bespoke designed dental practice website at realistic prices and without paying way over the odds.<\/p>\nWhat features should I expect in a \u00a34 – \u00a36k website?<\/h3>\n
