New website for a plastic surgery practice in Doha: real cost vs local agencies (2026)

The verdict in three sentences

In Doha, a plastic surgery practice website costs, as a 2026 ballpark, between 3,000 and 8,000 USD with a freelancer and 12,000 to 80,000 USD with a local agency, depending on finish and the Arabic version. Kolonell works from a fixed dollar grid, Starter 2,900 USD, Growth 4,900 USD, Premium 8,900 USD, where Premium is the multilingual tier (Arabic, English, RTL scope set in the quote). The real cost sits elsewhere: photography, medical translation, compliance review and maintenance, all of which should be priced before you sign.

What does a plastic surgery website really cost in Doha?

Quotes received by practices in West Bay, Lusail or Al Sadd are hard to compare, because local agencies include or exclude the Arabic version, online booking and photo shoots in very different ways. The table below puts everything in dollars (1 USD is about 3.64 QAR, fixed peg), based on typical local agency quotes and public agency rate pages.

Every Kolonell tier includes a project manager reachable in your time zone, native English or French copywriting, and 3 months of support after launch. Secure patient areas, integrations with booking software or a CRM, and any custom application are priced on quote. Full details are on the international websites page.

What a surgeon's website must prove to a patient in Doha

A Qatari or expatriate patient considering rhinoplasty or an abdominoplasty compares the surgeon first, then the practice. She looks for the surgeon's real background, qualifications as actually held (board certification, licence to practise in Qatar), an honest description of each procedure with its risks and recovery, and how the consultation works. The site has to answer those questions without promising results or using superlatives.

Pages to plan at minimum:

• A profile for each surgeon, with verifiable training and qualifications.
• One page per procedure: indications, process, risks, recovery, follow-up.
• Consultation journey: first appointment, quote, cooling-off period.
• Pricing on consultation explained, financing if offered.
• A minimal enquiry form, with no detailed medical fields.
• Legal pages: privacy, cookies, facility details.

On compliance, advertising of health services in Qatar falls under the country's health authorities, and before/after photos and patient testimonials are sensitive topics that should be cleared upfront. On data, Law No. 13 of 2016 on personal data privacy generally applies, and a practice set up in the Qatar Financial Centre falls under the QFC's own rules. The practical principle is minimisation: the form asks for a name, a contact and the procedure considered, not a medical history. This is not legal advice.

Hidden costs and the three-year total

The website price is only part of the budget. The items below are third-party costs or market assumptions, to be checked in every quote.

At Kolonell, maintenance after the 3 included months is priced on quote. To compare fairly, add the site, third-party costs and 33 months of maintenance, then look at the three-year total rather than the build line alone.

When a local agency is the better choice

A Doha agency keeps a real advantage in several cases: if you want weekly in-person meetings, if the project includes repeated video shoots in the clinic, or if you need a partner that also runs your local campaigns and relationships with local platforms. For a practice of two to five surgeons that wants a clear, fast, bilingual site in under two months, the price gap makes a remote team worth considering.

Questions to ask every provider:

• Is the Arabic version a true RTL layout or a translation pasted onto the English design?
• Who writes the procedure pages and who reviews them medically?
• Does the form store health data, and where is it hosted?
• What does maintenance cost after launch, in writing?
• Do you own the photos and copy at the end of the contract?

Mini case study

Illustrative example: Lusail Contour Clinic, three surgeons, is weighing a local agency at 28,000 USD against Kolonell's Premium tier at 8,900 USD.

• Local agency: 28,000 USD build, plus 500 USD per month maintenance for 33 months, or 16,500 USD. Three-year total: 44,500 USD.
• Kolonell Premium: 8,900 USD, plus 2,000 USD Arabic translation and 3,000 USD photography (third parties), plus assumed maintenance of 300 USD per month for 33 months (market assumption, the real figure is on quote), or 9,900 USD. Total: 23,800 USD.

The gap is 20,700 USD over three years, to be weighed against the value the practice places on an agency being physically nearby.

FAQ

How much does a plastic surgery website cost in Doha in 2026?

As a ballpark, from 3,000 USD with a freelancer to over 35,000 USD with a premium local agency. At Kolonell, the grid runs from 2,900 USD (Starter) to 8,900 USD (Premium, the multilingual tier).

Is the Arabic version included?

It belongs to the Premium tier, the multilingual tier, with languages and RTL scope set in the quote. Medical translation remains a third-party cost, often 1,000 to 3,000 USD.

Can we publish before/after photos?

This is governed by medical advertising rules, in Qatar as in most countries. Have every visual cleared by your counsel before publishing, and favour pages that explain risks over results galleries.

How long until launch?

Allow 3 to 4 weeks for Starter and Growth, 4 to 6 weeks for Premium, from receipt of content. Local agencies often quote 8 to 20 weeks.

What happens after the 3 months of included support?

Maintenance is priced on quote according to the volume of updates. On the market, contracts run around 150 to 600 USD per month, an assumption to compare line by line.
