The verdict in three sentences
A healthcare group institutional website costs between 25,000 and 60,000 EUR (net) depending on the number of sites and booking integration. Key constraints are health-data GDPR, certified health-data hosting and an up-to-date practitioner directory. A realistic timeline is 3 to 5 months, with maintenance of 800 to 2,000 EUR/month.
Budget lines of the multi-site website
A group's leadership must choose between an institutional brochure site and a platform that truly manages patient journeys. Here is the typical breakdown.
| Line item | 2026 range (EUR net) | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Institutional site + design | 12,000 - 25,000 | Group guidelines, site pages |
| Dynamic practitioner directory | 4,000 - 10,000 | Specialty and site filters |
| Integrated booking | 5,000 - 15,000 | Calendar / booking connection |
| Certified health-data hosting | 3,000 - 8,000/yr | Mandatory for health data |
| Health-data GDPR compliance | 3,000 - 7,000 | Register, notices, consent |
| Project total | 25,000 - 60,000 | Excluding maintenance |
Certified health-data hosting is an unavoidable recurring line: never host health data on a non-certified server.
Institutional site alone versus site with patient portal
Many groups hesitate. The table below compares the two options on the criteria that matter to a managing director.
| Criterion | Institutional site only | Site + patient portal |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 budget | 25,000 - 35,000 EUR | 45,000 - 60,000 EUR |
| Booking | External link | Integrated, tracked |
| Health data stored | No | Yes (certified hosting) |
| Monthly maintenance | 800 - 1,200 EUR | 1,500 - 2,000 EUR |
| Timeline | 3 - 4 months | 4 - 5 months |
| Switchboard call reduction | Low | 20 - 30% estimated |
The patient portal costs more but can cut switchboard calls for booking by 20 to 30%: the trade-off depends on your current call volume.
Mini case study
Dr. Fontaine, director of a three-clinic group in Amsterdam, invests 52,000 EUR (net) in a site with a practitioner directory and integrated booking, certified hosting included, over 4 months. In the first year, 35% of appointments are booked online, cutting the switchboard load by about 25%. Across a multi-person front desk, this saving equals a half-time role redeployed to in-person reception, for 1,800 EUR/month maintenance.

FAQ
How much does a clinic group website cost in 2026?
Between 25,000 and 60,000 EUR (net) depending on the number of sites and the patient portal. An institutional site alone starts around 25,000 EUR; with integrated booking, budget 45 to 60,000 EUR.
Is certified health-data hosting mandatory?
Yes as soon as you store health data. It is a recurring line of 3,000 to 8,000 EUR/year: never host this data on a non-certified server.
Integrated booking or a simple external link?
The external link is cheaper but integration cuts switchboard calls by 20 to 30%. The trade-off depends on your current call volume.
How do we handle multiple sites?
With a multi-site architecture: shared group guidelines, dedicated pages per site and a practitioner directory filterable by specialty and location.
What is the delivery timeline?
Budget 3 to 5 months depending on the patient portal and calendar integrations. Health-data GDPR compliance must be anticipated at scoping.
