Why Your Practice Should Consider Using a Website Builder vs. Another Custom Website Design

By   |  May 10, 2018

So, you think your practice’s website may be starting to look a little dog-eared. Here are a few signs that it might be time to consider a new website:Practice Website

  • Your website has had the same look for more than four years, maybe even more than ten years…
  • The site is difficult, or almost impossible, to navigate with a smartphone…
  • Your patients are unable to request appointments themselves, or after normal office hours…
  • Your website doesn’t adjust to tablets…
  • Your website is slow to load, especially on a phone…
  • Your website does not utilize SSL certificates (httpS:// vs. http://)…
  • Your website does not use responsive technology (grows or shrinks with the device or window size)…
  • The practice and providers are difficult to find using a search engine…
  • The content on the website lacks interest to patients…
  • There are no patient reviews found on the website…

Individually, any of the above problems might not be enough to think it’s time for a new website. But two or more reasons, and you really ought to start thinking about it.

If you’ve already gone through the process of selecting a website firm, working with a designer, going back-and-forth with their content writers, re-evaluating your SEO objectives, etc., then you’re probably dreading the thought of doing it all over again.  In fact, you may have already redesigned your site twice, three times or more already, each time at a cost of thousands of dollars.

An Alternative to Consider

Like all aspects of the Internet, technology has advanced website development tools such as sitebuilders to a point where a Do It Yourself (DIY) product can produce in a website as nice and effective as any custom-designed website.

And with some significant economic benefits too.

Website builders typically allow you to change layouts or themes and modify your site within just a few clicks, while at the same time retaining the general information that doesn’t need to change with a new design:

  • Office HoursResponsive Medical Websites
  • About the Practice
  • Provider Biographies
  • Accepted Insurance Plans
  • Patient Education Content

It no longer should cost thousands of dollars and require four months or more simply to modernize or restyle your practice website. Website builders such as Dr. Leonardo can accomplish this in seconds. You can do it yourself, or we can even do it for you.
