Clinic website design: what medical and aesthetic clinics need

What should a clinic website include?

A clinic website should answer the three questions every patient has before booking: can you help me, can I trust you, and how do I book? Every page should push towards one of those answers.

In practice, most medical and aesthetic clinics need these pages:

Smaller clinics can start with fewer treatment pages and add more over time. What matters is that the most profitable and most searched treatments are covered properly from day one.

How should a clinic present its treatments and prices?

Present each treatment on its own page, written for a patient rather than a colleague. A single “Services” page with a long list of names gives Google nothing to rank and gives patients nothing to decide on.

A strong treatment page follows the same order a patient’s questions arrive in:

1. What it is, in one or two plain sentences, with the medical term explained.
2. Who it is for, and just as importantly, who it is not suitable for.
3. What happens during the appointment, step by step, including how long it takes.
4. Recovery and aftercare: downtime, side effects and when to call the clinic.
5. Price: a fixed price, a “from” price or an honest range, plus what changes it.
6. Questions patients ask, answered briefly, followed by a booking button.

On prices, clinics often worry that showing them will scare people away. In our experience the opposite is more common: a patient who cannot find a price assumes it is high, or messages three clinics and books with whichever answers first. If prices genuinely depend on an assessment, say so, give a range and explain what decides the final figure.

Why do doctor profiles matter so much on a clinic website?

Doctor profiles matter because patients are choosing a person, not a building. Before they book anything that touches their health or appearance, they want to know who will be holding the needle or the scalpel.

A useful profile includes:

• A recent, professional photo, ideally taken in the clinic.
• Full name, title and medical qualifications, including where they trained.
• Registration or licence details where local rules allow them to be shown.
• Areas of focus, so patients can match their concern to the right doctor.
• Languages spoken, which matters a great deal for international patients.
• A short, human paragraph on how they work with patients.

Profiles also help search engines and AI assistants. Google’s guidance on helpful content puts weight on experience and expertise, especially for health topics, and clear author and practitioner information is one of the simplest ways to show it.

Should patients be able to book online?

Yes. Online booking lets patients act at the moment they decide, which for many people is late in the evening, away from the clinic’s opening hours. A phone number alone asks them to remember to call tomorrow, and many won’t.

Online booking does not have to mean a complex system. Depending on how your clinic runs, it might be:

• A short request form that your team confirms by phone, LINE or email.
• A live calendar showing real available slots for each doctor or treatment.
• A booking system with deposits, reminders and rescheduling built in.

Whichever you choose, the booking button should be visible on every page, especially on mobile. We cover the options, the ideal booking flow and how to reduce no-shows in online booking for clinics. For a real example, So Cute Clinic is a booking-first website for a doctor-led aesthetic clinic in Thonglor.

What rules apply to clinic websites and patient data?

Clinic websites deal with two sensitive areas: health advertising and personal health data. Both are regulated in many countries, including Thailand, so treat this section as a checklist to review with your own adviser rather than legal advice.

• Don’t promise results. Avoid wording such as “guaranteed”, “permanent” or “painless” unless it is literally true and allowed. Explain that results vary between patients.
• Be careful with before-and-after photos. Use them only with written patient consent and where local advertising rules permit them, and never edit them.
• Collect only what you need. A booking form rarely needs a full medical history. Name, contact details, treatment of interest and preferred time are usually enough.
• Explain how data is used. Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA B.E. 2562) and Europe’s GDPR both expect a clear privacy notice and, for sensitive data such as health information, a proper legal basis such as explicit consent.
• Secure every page. HTTPS everywhere, form submissions sent to a protected inbox or system, and no patient details in URLs.

Getting this right protects your licence and your reputation, and patients notice when a clinic handles their information with care.

Does a clinic website need to be bilingual?

If your patients speak more than one language, yes. A clinic in Bangkok typically serves Thai patients, long-term expatriates and visitors, and each group searches in its own language. A website that only speaks one of them quietly turns the others away.

Bilingual done properly means each language has its own pages and URLs, written by someone fluent, rather than a translation button bolted onto the top. Treatment names, prices and booking instructions must match exactly in both versions. Na Clinic is a bilingual clinic website with online booking built this way.

How much does a clinic website cost and how long does it take?

At PJW Partners, custom websites start from $1,500 USD, and most launch in 3 to 6 weeks. A clinic site with many treatment pages, two languages or a connected booking system sits towards the upper end of that range and receives a tailored quote.

The time is spent on planning the treatment pages, writing clear copy, photographing the clinic and team where possible, building and testing the booking flow, and checking every page on a phone. Our website cost guide breaks down what drives the price. If you are planning a new clinic website or rebuilding an old one, tell us about your clinic and we’ll reply within one business day.
