The verdict in three sentences
For a multidisciplinary health centre with 14 practitioners, a professional website costs between 5,000 and 12,000 EUR excl. VAT depending on practitioner pages, languages and accessibility level. The site must respect professional ethics rules: factual information, no comparative advertising, no featured patient testimonials. As long as the site collects no health data and sends patients to an online booking platform (Doctolib in France, its equivalents in Ireland), standard hosting is enough and the project ships in 5 weeks. Our reference case is in Nantes; a Dublin practice faces very similar figures and rules under the Medical Council.
What drives the price
A health centre is not a solo practice: you need to present several professions (GPs, physiotherapists, nurses, midwife, speech therapist), their hours, booking options and shared practical information.
| Package | 2026 price (EUR excl. VAT) | Pages | Content | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | 5,000 to 6,500 | 8 to 10 | Home, team, one page per profession, access, contact | 4 weeks |
| Standard | 7,000 to 9,000 | 15 to 20 | One profile per practitioner, booking buttons, news, patient FAQ | 5 weeks |
| Advanced | 10,000 to 12,000 | 20 to 30 | Bilingual, prevention and patient education, accessibility audit | 6 to 7 weeks |
| Annual maintenance | 600 to 1,500 | Updates, security, backups | per year | |
| Standard hosting | 120 to 360 | EU server, SSL certificate | per year | |
| Certified health data hosting (if medical forms) | 1,200 to 3,600 | Certified health data host | per year |
These are 2026 orders of magnitude for the Nantes area, copywriting support included, team photography extra (600 to 1,200 EUR).
Ethics, online booking and hosting: the rules to know
Since the 2020 reform in France, doctors may communicate more with the public, but information must remain fair, honest and non-comparative. Other professions (physiotherapists, nurses, midwives) have their own very similar codes, and the Irish Medical Council guide follows the same spirit.
| Topic | Allowed | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Practitioner profiles | Degrees, specialty, languages spoken, fee status | Unrecognised titles, superlatives |
| Fees | Fee schedule, extra charges, direct billing | Promotions, teaser prices |
| Health content | Sourced prevention information | Promises of cure |
| Reviews and testimonials | Neutral link to a public listing | Selected patient testimonials on the home page |
| Booking | Booking button or widget per practitioner | A symptoms form on non-certified hosting |
| Accessibility | WCAG, contrast, keyboard navigation | Text in images, unreadable PDFs |
Doctolib integration uses a deep link or official widget, with no extra licence cost beyond each practitioner's subscription. The site then stores no medical data: standard EU hosting is enough. A pre-consultation or prescription renewal form, however, requires a certified health data host.
Mini case study
Dr Leroy, coordinating physician of a health centre in Nantes, brings together 14 practitioners. The old site, frozen since 2019, triggers about twenty calls a day to reception about hours, appointments or documents to bring. The Standard package costs 8,500 EUR, plus 900 EUR maintenance and 240 EUR hosting a year. With up-to-date practitioner profiles and booking buttons, avoidable calls fall by 40%, or 8 four-minute calls a day: about 110 hours of reception time saved a year, close to 2,900 EUR at 26 EUR loaded hourly cost. The site pays back in under 3 years on this item alone, and it also helps recruit new practitioners, a major issue for health centres.

FAQ
Does a health centre website need certified health data hosting?
No, if the site only informs and redirects to the booking platform. Certified hosting becomes mandatory once a form collects health data, for 1,200 to 3,600 EUR a year.
Can we display patients' Google reviews?
Caution is required: ethics codes forbid featuring testimonials. A neutral link to the centre's Google listing remains acceptable.
Can public funding cover the site?
In France, health centres signing the interprofessional agreement receive annual funding, often 50,000 to 75,000 EUR, which can finance coordination and communication tools.
How long until the site goes live?
Allow 5 weeks for the Standard package: one week of scoping, two of mock-ups and copywriting, two of development and practitioner sign-off.
Is accessibility compliance mandatory?
For a private practice under 250 staff it is not a strict legal obligation in France, but an audit costs 800 to 1,500 EUR and ensures access for elderly or visually impaired patients.
