The verdict in three sentences
A private clinic in Nassau can choose between a New Providence agency, a Florida agency and a fixed-price remote studio. If you need a video, a team shoot or meetings at your premises in Cable Beach or downtown, the local agency makes sense; if you mainly want a clear site that turns searches from patients on New Providence and the Family Islands into appointment requests, a Kolonell tier at 2 900, 4 900 or 8 900 USD is enough, delivered in 3 to 4 weeks. In every case, the contract must give you the domain, the code and the copy.
What budget should you plan in Nassau, and what does each tier contain?
In Nassau, supply is split between a few local agencies, freelancers, and Miami or Fort Lauderdale agencies working remotely for Bahamian clients. The 2026 ballpark, drawn from public price pages of agencies in the region, minimum project sizes shown on Clutch.co and rates published by freelancers on Upwork, sits between 8 000 and 30 000 USD for a local agency, 12 000 and 40 000 USD for a Florida agency, and 3 000 and 10 000 USD for a freelancer. These figures vary widely with the number of specialties.
Against those ranges, here is what Kolonell's fixed grid covers:
| Item | Starter 2 900 USD | Growth 4 900 USD | Premium 8 900 USD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope | Compact site, a few key pages | Fuller site, one page per specialty | Complete bilingual English and French site |
| Physician profiles | Shared team page | One profile per practitioner | Detailed profiles and richer structure |
| Appointment request form | Simple | Qualified by specialty | Qualified, in two languages |
| Copywriting | Native English | Native English | Native English and French |
| Project manager in your time zone | Included | Included | Included |
| Support after launch | 3 months | 3 months | 3 months |
| Booking with payment or patient record link | Quoted on request | Quoted on request | Quoted on request |
The tiers are presented in detail on the international website offer page. Payment is by bank transfer, 50 % at kickoff and 50 % at delivery.
New Providence agency, Florida or remote studio: what should you compare?
The Bahamas follow Eastern Time: UTC-5 in winter, UTC-4 in summer, like New York. Our team, based in Dakar (GMT), is 4 to 5 hours ahead, which covers your whole morning.
| Criterion | Nassau agency | Florida agency | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time zone | Yours | Yours | 4 to 5 hours ahead, shared mornings |
| On-site meetings | Yes | Rare, travel billed | No, scheduled video calls |
| Knowledge of local insurers and NHI | Good | Weak | Supplied by the clinic, built into the copy |
| Indicative price | 8 000 to 30 000 USD | 12 000 to 40 000 USD | Fixed 2 900 to 8 900 USD |
| Law governing the contract | Bahamian | Florida | To be set in the contract |
| Domain and code ownership | Put it in black and white | Put it in black and white | Transferred at delivery, written into the contract |
| Photo and video | Often offered | With travel surcharge | Not offered |
On languages, a local point: some of your patients of Haitian origin may read French more easily than English. The Premium tier covers English and French; Haitian Creole is not included and would have to be supplied or quoted separately.
What should a Bahamian clinic website contain, and which rules apply?
Nassau's healthcare landscape combines the public Princess Margaret Hospital, run by the Public Hospitals Authority, private facilities and many specialist practices. Patients from the Family Islands often come to Nassau for a specialist consultation: before boarding a plane they need to know which days the doctor sees patients, which tests are done on site and which documents to bring. Your pages must therefore cover specialties, physicians, accepted private insurers and the clinic's position on National Health Insurance, self-pay fees, and a practical page for travelling patients. Tourists and cruise passengers, for their part, look for opening hours and a phone number.
On compliance, a few simple facts. The Data Protection (Privacy of Personal Information) Act of 2003 applies to personal data, under the supervision of the Data Protection Commissioner; health data calls for particular care, so short forms, explicit consent and secure hosting. Physicians are registered with the Bahamas Medical Council, and professional ethics rules frame medical advertising: no guaranteed results, no misleading testimonials. Aim for WCAG 2.1 AA on accessibility. This is not legal advice.
When should you prefer a Nassau agency?
Kolonell does not travel and does no photo or video work. A local agency is preferable if you are opening a new location with a full local campaign (radio, billboards, social media), if you want a video tour of the procedure room or imaging suite, or if your management insists on in-person workshops. It can also manage your Google Business Profile day to day; at Kolonell, ongoing local SEO is quoted on request only.

- Is the domain name in the clinic's name, not the agency's?
- How many fields does the form have, and why is each one necessary?

- What happens if the provider disappears: do you hold every credential?
- Does the price cover copywriting, or must you supply all the text?
Mini case study
*Illustrative example, fictional persona.* Dr Kendra M. runs a paediatrics and women's health clinic in Nassau with five practitioners. She receives a local quote of 18 000 USD and a Florida quote of 24 000 USD. She opts for Kolonell Growth at 4 900 USD, with one profile per practitioner and a page for Family Islands patients. Gap with the local quote: 13 100 USD. If the site triggers 4 extra consultations a month with a 150 USD margin each, that is 600 USD, and the project pays back in just over 8 months.

FAQ
Does a law protect patient data on a website in the Bahamas?
Yes, the Data Protection (Privacy of Personal Information) Act of 2003 applies, with a dedicated commissioner. In practice, keep the form to 5 or 6 fields and state how the data is used.
How much does a clinic website cost with a Nassau agency?
The 2026 ballpark runs from 8 000 to 30 000 USD depending on scope. At Kolonell, the price is fixed: 2 900, 4 900 or 8 900 USD.
Does remote work slow the project down?
No, delivery is 3 to 4 weeks after content approval. With a 4 to 5 hour gap, your mornings are used for check-ins and approvals.
Can appointment booking with payment be added?
Yes, as a custom application quoted on request. Every tier already includes an appointment request form.
Who takes care of the physicians' photos?
Kolonell does not do shoots. Plan a Nassau photographer for half a day, often 800 to 1 500 USD as a 2026 ballpark.
