The verdict in three sentences
For a four-osteopath clinic in London, a freelance website at roughly £1,200 to £2,500 rarely holds up once you need a profile per practitioner, a booking link per clinician and local search pages per condition. A London agency typically quotes £3,500 to £8,000 plus VAT, while Kolonell's website grid runs from 1,220 to 5,340 EUR depending on the tier. Over three years, the right decision comes down to how many appointments it takes to pay the site back, and that threshold is low: a handful of consultations a month across the whole practice.
What a multi-practitioner clinic website must include
A group practice does not have the same needs as a solo osteopath. Each clinician has their own patient list, clinic days and often a focus: babies, runners, pregnancy, desk-related back pain. The site must make that structure readable in under ten seconds on a phone, because most new patients arrive from Google Maps or a search such as "osteopath Clapham".
The essential blocks, based on the clinics we work with:
- a home page with address, nearest Tube or Overground station, parking, opening hours and one phone number;
- one profile per practitioner: training, General Osteopathic Council registration, areas of focus, clinic days and a dedicated booking button;
- condition pages written factually, without promising outcomes;
- a fees page, with initial consultations around £60 to £90 in London (2026 order of magnitude) and private health insurance information;
- legal notices, a UK GDPR privacy policy and a contact form that collects no health data.
Osteopaths in the UK must follow the GOsC standards and the ASA advertising code: claims need evidence, and testimonials used as promotion are risky. A provider who knows these rules avoids costly rewrites after launch.
| Criterion | Freelancer | London agency | Kolonell website |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build price | £1,200 to £2,500 | £3,500 to £8,000 + VAT | 1,220 to 5,340 EUR by tier |
| Time to launch | 2 to 6 weeks, depending on availability | 6 to 10 weeks | 3 to 5 weeks |
| Profile per practitioner | Often a single team page | Yes | Yes, one per clinician |
| Booking link per clinician | Sometimes | Yes | Yes |
| Local SEO by condition and area | Rarely included | Optional extra | Included in Growth and Premium |
| Monthly maintenance | £25 to £70 or none | £50 to £130 | 35,000 / 75,000 / 120,000 FCFA (53 / 114 / 183 EUR) |
| Continuity if the provider stops | High risk | Good | Written maintenance contract |
Kolonell's three tiers applied to an osteopathy clinic
Kolonell's website service has three tiers. For a four-clinician practice, Starter covers the practical and legal minimum, while Growth is the tier that actually brings patients in through local search.
| Tier | Price | What the clinic gets |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | 800,000 to 1,200,000 FCFA (1,220 to 1,830 EUR) | 5 pages, team page, booking links, optimised Google Business Profile |
| Growth | 1,200,000 to 2,000,000 FCFA (1,830 to 3,050 EUR) | One page per clinician, condition pages, blog, visitor analytics |
| Premium | 2,000,000 to 3,500,000 FCFA (3,050 to 5,340 EUR) | Growth + refined animations, advanced SEO by area and speciality |
| Basic maintenance | 35,000 FCFA per month (53 EUR) | Updates, backups, monitoring |
| Standard maintenance | 75,000 FCFA per month (114 EUR) | Basic + monthly content changes |
| Premium maintenance | 120,000 FCFA per month (183 EUR) | Standard + performance tracking and priority support |
A clinician joining or leaving, summer hours, a new treatment page: these are the most frequent changes in a shared practice, which is why maintenance that includes content edits matters.
Booking software, maintenance and three-year total cost
The website does not replace your practice management software. UK clinics typically use tools such as Cliniko or Jane, at roughly £40 to £100 a month depending on the number of practitioners (2026 order of magnitude). That cost exists whatever website you choose. What a well-ranked site does is send patients straight to each clinician's diary, instead of relying on directories where competing clinics are listed alongside you.
The table below calculates the total cost over 36 months (build + maintenance) and the number of appointments needed to recover it. We use £75 per appointment for the London options and its equivalent of about 87 EUR for the Kolonell options, taking the top of each Kolonell range as the cautious case.
| Option | Build | Maintenance over 36 months | 3-year total | Appointments to break even |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Freelancer | £1,800 | £40 x 36 = £1,440 | £3,240 | 44 at £75 |
| London agency | £5,500 | £90 x 36 = £3,240 | £8,740 | 117 at £75 |
| Kolonell Starter | 1,830 EUR | 53 x 36 = 1,908 EUR | 3,738 EUR | 43 at 87 EUR |
| Kolonell Growth | 3,050 EUR | 114 x 36 = 4,104 EUR | 7,154 EUR | 83 at 87 EUR |
| Kolonell Premium | 5,340 EUR | 183 x 36 = 6,588 EUR | 11,928 EUR | 138 at 87 EUR |

Even the most complete option pays for itself with about four appointments a month across the whole practice, roughly one per clinician.
Mini case study
Tom, practice manager of a four-osteopath clinic in Clapham, is choosing between a London agency at £5,500 and Kolonell's Growth tier. He picks Growth with Standard maintenance: 3,050 EUR to build and 114 EUR a month, so 7,154 EUR over three years.
Once the condition pages (lower back pain, babies, sports injuries) and the four clinician profiles are live, the clinic tracks where new patients come from. Cautious assumption: 12 new patients a month arrive via the website or the Google profile. At about 87 EUR per initial consultation, that is 1,044 EUR a month, before any follow-up sessions. The site pays back in 7,154 / 1,044 = 6.9 months. On the same basis, the agency option (£8,740, about 10,140 EUR) would take close to 10 months.
FAQ
Do we need a website if we already use online booking software?
Yes, because a booking tool at £40 to £100 a month is a diary, not a shop window. The website presents each clinician, ranks for local searches by condition and sends patients to the diary, which reduces your dependence on third-party directories.
How long does it take to launch?
Allow 3 to 5 weeks with Kolonell, provided the photos and bios of all four clinicians are ready in week one. London agencies typically take 6 to 10 weeks.
Can we publish our fees?
Yes, and it is recommended: a clear page showing initial consultations at £60 to £90 and insurer information cuts calls to reception. Keep fee information factual and in line with the ASA code.
Who owns the website and the domain?
The clinic, always. The domain is registered to your practice company and admin access is handed over at launch, which avoids the common lock-in when a freelancer stops trading.
What happens when a clinician leaves the practice?
Their profile is removed and a redirect is set to the team page so you keep the search visibility already earned. With Standard maintenance at 75,000 FCFA a month (114 EUR), this kind of change is included.
Let's scope your project. A website for a multi-clinician practice, with practitioner profiles, booking links and condition pages, can be scoped in one call and launched in 3 to 5 weeks. Detailed quote within 48 h. WhatsApp +221 77 596 93 33.
