Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Web Designer for Your Clinic
A vetting checklist for evaluating agencies or freelancers before hiring them for your clinic's website.
If you're already comparing proposals from different agencies or designers for your clinic's website, these are the questions that actually matter, beyond price.
Key Questions to Ask
- Do I have full ownership of the domain and content?
- Do they have specific experience with clinics or healthcare?
- How do they handle the mobile experience for booking appointments?
- What's the real delivery timeline, and what happens if it slips?
- What does post-launch support include?
Why Healthcare Experience Matters
A designer without sector experience can underestimate specific things: how to display credentials correctly, how to structure insurance information, or how to design a booking flow that reduces a patient's anxiety.

Let's talk about your project and what you specifically need for your clinic.
A Common Red Flag
Be wary of any proposal that can't clearly explain how it will handle migrating existing content or preserving your Google rankings if you already have a site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I have full ownership of the website?
Yes, you should always have full control of your domain, hosting, and content, without depending on the agency for basic changes.
Does the designer need healthcare experience?
It helps significantly, since there are sector-specific considerations a generalist designer can overlook.
What should I ask about post-launch support?
Ask specifically what's included, for how long, and what changes cost after that period.
