The verdict in three sentences
A clinic or medical practice showcase website in Dakar costs in 2026 between 350,000 and 600,000 FCFA (roughly 535-915 EUR), more than a standard showcase because patient trust and health-data notices demand special care. Online booking (250,000 FCFA) is the highest-return module: it offloads the front desk. Teleconsultation (500,000 FCFA and up) is only justified for an already remote patient base.
The base grid by tier
A medical showcase includes by default the practitioner, specialty and hours pages plus a compliant legal notice block (health data, confidentiality). Local Dakar SEO is decisive: the "cardiologist Dakar" search is what brings the patient in.
| Tier | Contents | 2026 price (FCFA) | Lead time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter medical showcase | 6 pages, practitioners, specialties, map | 350,000 | 3 weeks |
| Growth medical showcase | + health blog, reviews, local Dakar SEO | 480,000 | 4 weeks |
| Premium medical showcase | + bilingual, animations, reinforced GDPR notices | 600,000 | 6 weeks |
| Annual maintenance | Security, backups, updates | 50,000 to 100,000 / year | — |
These figures are a 2026 order of magnitude for Dakar. Compliance requirements explain the price gap with a standard commercial showcase.
The à la carte modules
The heart of a medical site is the patient portal. Here are the blocks that move it from a plain showcase to a tool that cuts calls and smooths reception.
| Module | What it adds | 2026 price (FCFA) | Business impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online booking | Real slots, confirmation, SMS reminder | 250,000 | Fewer calls, fewer no-shows |
| Secure patient area | Records, prescriptions, history | 400,000 | Retention, time saved |
| Teleconsultation | Video, Wave/OM payment, calendar | 500,000+ | New remote revenue |
| Automatic reminders | SMS/email before appointment | 100,000 | Fewer no-shows |
| Health-data compliance | Notice audit, secure hosting | 150,000 | Legal peace of mind |
Mini case study
Dr Ndiaye, who runs a 3-practitioner practice in Sacré-Cœur, picks a Growth showcase at 480,000 FCFA and adds online booking (250,000) plus SMS reminders (100,000). Project budget: 830,000 FCFA, plus 80,000 FCFA/year maintenance. His front desk spent 2 hours a day on the phone; by shifting 60% of bookings online, he frees the equivalent of a half-time role, an administrative saving on the order of 90,000 FCFA per month.
FAQ

Kolonell builds websites that attract clients, optimized for the Sénégalese market. Free quote in 2 minutes.
Why does a clinic website cost more than a standard showcase?
Because it requires compliant health-data notices, secure hosting and a tone that inspires trust. That is what sets the base at 350,000-600,000 FCFA instead of 250,000.
Is online booking worth it?
Yes, it is the highest-return module. At 250,000 FCFA, it offloads the front desk and cuts no-shows. A high-volume practice often pays it back in under three months.
Do I need teleconsultation from the start?
Rarely. At 500,000 FCFA and up, it only makes sense if you already have remote patients or a waiting list. Start with online booking.
Is the site compliant with health-data rules?
Yes, the compliance module (150,000 FCFA) covers the notice audit and secure hosting, consistent with Senegal's Law 2008-12 on personal data.
How long to go live?
From 3 to 6 weeks depending on the tier. Medical content approvals (practitioner photos, specialty copy) often stretch the timeline more than development.
