Websites for physios and therapists.
I'm Huw. I build sites for physios and therapists and other small businesses around Bridgend and South Wales. I can help acquire and setup your domain, the hosting and your custom email.
It's just me, so you deal with the same person the whole way through.
For most sites I build, there's no ongoing monthly cost once it's live, that includes no hosting cost. You'll see some other agencies charge a monthly ongoing fee to keep your site live, with me, you only pay when you actually need something.
I'm in Bridgend, working across South Wales and remotely anywhere in the UK.
What your customers type
The searches worth turning up for. Each one wants something slightly different from the page it lands on.
- lower back pain exercises
- sciatica how long does it last
- physio vs chiropractor vs osteopath
- do I need a GP referral for physio
- how much does private physio cost
- how many physio sessions do I need
- what to wear to a physio appointment
- sports massage vs deep tissue
- frozen shoulder treatment
- physio near me
- private physiotherapy Barry
- pelvic health physio South Wales
People search the pain, then the profession, then you
It runs in that order. First “lower back pain exercises” or “sciatica how long does it last”, at eleven at night, in pain, on a phone. Then “physio vs chiropractor vs osteopath”, because they don’t know which of you they need. Then “physio near me” once they’ve decided. Almost every clinic site starts at the third one, and the first two are where the patients are.
They aren’t shopping around
Not the way a bathroom customer does. They want to know you’ve seen this before and that you can see them soon, and “most people are seen within a week” answers the thing everybody wants and hardly any clinic addresses. The cost question always arrives with a second half attached, how many sessions, and silence on either sends them to whoever published something. Somebody with acute back pain is also planning the walk from the car before they book, which is why the stairs, the parking and the buzzer matter more in your trade than in any other.
HCPC, and the ones with no register at all
Physiotherapists are on the HCPC register, osteopaths have the GOsC and chiropractors the GCC, while sports and massage therapists have no statutory register at all, so being straight about which applies to you is worth more than it sounds.
What I’d do for you
Health information brings real obligations with it under UK GDPR and plenty of sites treat it casually. The first meeting is me going through how patients find you and what’s on their mind at each stage. Then I’ll scope it and price it.
The build, your email and your Google profile
Most of these sites are static: plain files on a server, nothing to log into, no plugin sat there waiting to be patched. They load quickly on a phone with two bars of signal, and for most of them there's no ongoing hosting cost. No monthly retainer, and the domain renews once a year at list price in your name with no commission from me. If you'd rather edit the pages yourself I'll build you something you can edit, and tell you what it costs to run before we start.
Email goes on your own custom domain, setup properly so your quotes, invoices and confirmations land in the inbox rather than the spam folder.
Then the Google Business Profile, which on a phone often sits above every website on the screen. I go through yours with you and get it agreeing with the site, because when the two disagree they stop being read as the same business.
What I'd build for physios and therapists in your town
The job is the same wherever you are. What changes is which town and village names belong on the page, that's what people type.
See where your site stands first
Put your address into the free check and it tells you where the site's hosted, what it's built with, what a search engine actually gets and whether your email is setup right. Takes about ten seconds and nothing on your site is touched. Run the free check.
If the email records come back failing, that's worth reading about on its own. If it's the site, here's how I build them, and here are five things to ask anyone quoting you.
Tell me about the business.
Say what you're trying to achieve and I'll tell you what I'd do, including when the answer is an hour on your Google Business Profile would do more than a new site.
