Website redesign for a private medical clinic in Brisbane: budget, timeline and risks (2026)

The verdict in three sentences

For a medical dermatology clinic with several Brisbane sites, the redesign should be planned around local search: one accurate location page per site, matching Google Business Profile details and redirects for every condition page that already brings patients. Brisbane agency quotes for this scope usually sit around AUD 12,000 to 35,000 (roughly USD 7,800 to 22,750, 2026 ballpark), while Kolonell applies a fixed grid: Starter USD 2,900, Growth USD 4,900, Premium USD 8,900. Build takes 3 to 4 weeks once content is ready; clinician review of condition pages and the privacy check of forms and tags are the clinic's part of the schedule.

Is the problem the website, or the listings around it?

Brisbane keeps growing, and new residents in Spring Hill, Fortitude Valley or South Brisbane find a dermatologist through maps first, then the website. When the two disagree, the patient calls the wrong site or does not call at all. Typical signs that a redesign is due:

• Each location has a different phone number format, opening hours or suite number on the site and on its Google Business Profile.
• One generic "Locations" page lists every site, so none of them ranks for its own suburb.
• Condition pages for eczema, psoriasis or skin checks are years old and unsigned.
• The enquiry form asks patients to describe a lesion or upload a photo.
• The site mixes medical dermatology with cosmetic offers in a way that blurs the clinic's scope.

What budget should a Brisbane dermatology clinic plan?

Ranges are a 2026 ballpark from typical agency quotes in Brisbane and nearby markets, converted approximately at USD 0.65 per Australian dollar. They are not a survey.

Every tier includes a project manager reachable in your time zone, native English copywriting, delivery in 3 to 4 weeks and 3 months of support; maintenance afterwards is on quote. Photography of each site is a third-party cost. Compare tiers on our international websites page.

How do you keep several locations consistent on the site and on Google?

Consistency is what local search rewards and what patients rely on. We build one location template, fill it once per site, then check each field against the matching Google Business Profile before launch.

The website does not edit your Google Business Profile for you; the clinic keeps ownership of each profile, and we provide the checklist.

Timeline, risks and what stays on quote

Risks to plan, each with its counter-measure:

• If condition pages lose rankings, it is usually missing redirects: every URL with clicks over 12 months gets a one-to-one 301, checked weekly for 4 weeks.
• If listings and site disagree after launch, patients call the wrong site: one person updates both, same day.
• If the booking link breaks, the vendor URL changed: test on three phones before the DNS switch.
• If downtime hits clinic hours, patients cannot find phone numbers: switch in the evening with a rollback plan.
• If tracking pixels fire on appointment pages, health information may leak to ad platforms: tag list approved by the privacy adviser.

In Australia, the Privacy Act 1988 applies to health service providers that hold health information whatever their turnover, which is why forms collect name, contact, preferred site and slot only, never lesion descriptions, photos, Medicare or insurance numbers. The National Law administered with AHPRA restricts testimonials and misleading claims; the Australian Consumer Law expects clear fees, gap and surcharges included; the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 supports our WCAG 2.2 AA target. This is not legal advice.

On quote: online booking, patient portal, telehealth, practice management integration and referral intake. We link to, or embed, your existing vendor.

Questions to ask any provider: are location pages in the price, and how many? Who checks consistency with Google Business Profiles? Is the redirect map delivered? Which tags fire where?

A Brisbane agency is a better fit if you want photo shoots across all sites in the same contract, face-to-face training for each site manager, or ongoing local advertising bundled with the site.

Mini case study

Illustrative example: Megan Tran, operations manager of the fictional "Riverbend Dermatology", medical dermatology only, three sites in Spring Hill, Fortitude Valley and South Brisbane.

• Planned structure: 3 location pages + 6 dermatologist profiles + 14 condition pages + 6 core pages = 29 pages.
• Kolonell Growth: USD 4,900. Third-party photographer for three sites: AUD 1,500, about USD 975. Total about USD 5,875.
• Brisbane agency quote on her shortlist: AUD 26,000, about USD 16,900. Gap: about USD 11,025.
• Clinic time: 3 profile updates at 1 hour each plus about 1 hour of practitioner review per condition page, so roughly 17 hours.

FAQ

How long does a multi-site dermatology redesign take?

3 to 4 weeks of build once content is ready. Add a week if condition pages still need clinician review across 3 sites.

Do we need one page per location?

Yes, if each site serves its own suburb. A shared page rarely ranks for 3 different areas; separate pages with matching Google Business Profile details work better.

Can we show before and after photos?

For a medical dermatology clinic, the safe default is 0 before and after images and no testimonials, given AHPRA rules on health advertising. Check the specifics with your adviser.

Which Kolonell tier fits three sites?

Growth at USD 4,900 fits most three-site medical clinics. Premium at USD 8,900 suits a larger structure or the multilingual tier.

What do we pay after launch?

The first 3 months of support are included. Maintenance afterwards is on quote.
