51 five-star reviewsPodiatrist Website Design
I’m Spencer, a freelance web designer in Brighton. I build custom WordPress websites for podiatrists and chiropodists across Sussex and the UK — from single-handed practitioners doing home visits to clinics with a diabetic foot service and an orthotics lab.
Foot health is search-led: patients look for the problem they have, late at night, on a phone.

Podiatry sits inside my wider medical website design work, but has its own rules: two protected titles, an older patient base, treatments searched by name.
Talk it through → Why it matters
Podiatrist or chiropodist? Your website has to be both
“Podiatrist” and “chiropodist” are both protected titles in the UK. Only someone registered with the Health and Care Professions Council may use either, and in practice they describe the same registrant.
Patients don’t treat them as interchangeable, though. Younger ones search “podiatrist near me”; older ones — the group most likely to need routine nail care and home visits — very often search “chiropodist”. A site using only one word is invisible to half of them.
Rank for both titles without forcing either word into every sentence
Show HCPC registration numbers so patients can verify every practitioner
Give each treatment its own page, because that’s how patients search
Keep the phone number tappable and obvious, not buried in a footer
Publish per-treatment prices so nobody has to ring up to find out
Set type large enough to read at eighty without pinching to zoom
The essentials
What makes a good podiatry website?
Six things separate a foot clinic site that fills the diary from one that just looks tidy.
Treatment pages as the SEO engine
One “Our Treatments” page listing a dozen things competes for a dozen searches and loses all of them. Ingrown toenails, verrucae, fungal nail, diabetic foot care, biomechanical assessment, orthotics and nail surgery each need a page.
Both titles, used naturally
Lead in “podiatrist”, then add one page explaining that the two are the same HCPC-registered profession under two protected titles. It answers a real question and earns the “chiropodist” rankings honestly.
Click-to-call given equal billing
A large share of this audience will always phone, and asking them to create an account with a password is how you lose them. A big tappable number in every header, booking beside it — not instead of it.
Home visits as a service, not a footnote
“Home visit chiropodist” and “mobile podiatrist” are searched in their own right, usually by a son or daughter on a parent’s behalf. Domiciliary care deserves a page of its own.
Accessibility as a design decision
Not a compliance checkbox here — it’s the core audience. Larger base fonts, strong contrast, generous tap targets, screen-reader-friendly forms, no pale grey on white. Built in at design stage, it costs nothing.
Imagery that doesn’t make people wince
Clinical close-ups belong on the treatment page they illustrate, not the homepage — and before-and-after shots need consent recorded. Lead with the practitioner, the room, people walking comfortably.
All six come as standard, on a fixed quote agreed upfront.

How much does a podiatry website cost?
Websites start from £800. Most podiatry and chiropody projects land between £800 and £3,000, depending on treatment page count and whether orthotics sales are involved.
Larger builds are typically £2,000 – £5,000+. Every project gets a fixed quote upfront and a free mockup first.
Two separate optional products afterwards: hosting from £10/month, and support and care plans from £30/month. SEO retainers start at £250/month.

What I offer
Podiatry web design services
Built around how foot health patients search, book and pay.
Treatment pages that rank
The core of the build — a proper page for each thing you treat:
- Ingrown toenails
- Verrucae
- Fungal nail infection
- Corns and calluses
- Diabetic foot care
- Biomechanical assessment
- Custom orthotics
- Nail surgery
- Routine nail care
- Heel and arch pain
Each covers symptoms, what happens at the appointment, sessions needed and price — a straight answer for the patient, and a page search engines can see is about one thing. Add a Google Business Profile and pages for the towns you serve: that is the local SEO.
Diabetic foot care and GP referrals
The highest-stakes page on a podiatry site, and usually the thinnest. It serves two readers at once: a patient told to get their feet checked who has no idea what that involves, and the GP practice or diabetes nurse deciding where to send them.
So it’s written twice over: reassurance about what a vascular and neurological assessment feels like, plus what a referrer needs — what you screen for and how to refer in.
Built for older patients, deliberately
A large share of podiatry patients are over seventy, often browsing with the text size already turned up. That changes real decisions: a bigger base font than the fashionable 14px, dark text on white, buttons sized for imprecise taps, a number that dials in one press. Whichever booking system you run, it sits beside click-to-call — never instead of it.
Home visits and domiciliary care
Often your strongest differentiator, and one of the least competitive searches in the sector. It gets a service page of its own: towns covered, what you bring, how it’s priced against a clinic appointment.
Transparent pricing
Foot health is largely self-pay. “Prices on request” reads as expensive; a clear per-treatment table removes the main reason people bounce.
Orthotics as a retail line
Insoles, silicone devices, medical-grade footwear and aftercare products are a second revenue stream most podiatry sites ignore. A WooCommerce shop lets patients reorder without an appointment, prescription devices staying behind an assessment booking.
Hosting, care plans and training
Training comes as standard, so reception can change prices, hours and practitioner details without calling me. Hosting starts at £10/month and care plans at £30/month — two separate products; take one, both or neither.
All of it included as standard. Fixed price, no retainer.

How I work
Four stages, from first call to a site your team can run without me.
First
Initial call
What you treat, whether you do home visits or diabetic assessments, and how appointments come in now. As a former British 800m Champion, I’ve had my share of foot advice.
Then
Quote and mockup
A fixed price agreed upfront, then a free mockup so you can see type sizes, contrast and booking layout.
After that
Design and build
Treatment pages, practitioner profiles with HCPC numbers, booking, accessibility testing at real font sizes, SEO covering both titles.
Finally
Handover
The finished site plus training, so prices, hours and treatments can be updated in-house.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Still unsure? Ask me directly — I answer every enquiry personally.
Get a free quoteShould my site say podiatrist or chiropodist?
Both, but not evenly. Lead with “podiatrist” and add one page explaining that the two are the same HCPC-registered profession under two protected titles. Older patients still search “chiropodist” in large numbers, so a site that never uses the word won’t appear for them.
Can patients book online?
Yes — I embed whichever booking or practice system you use. I’d push back on making it the only route, though: podiatry has an older patient base than most sectors, and a large minority will always ring rather than fill in a form.
Do you display HCPC registration?
Yes. Every practitioner profile carries qualifications and HCPC registration number, so a patient or referring GP can check the register directly — one of the cheapest trust signals a foot clinic has.
Will you build a page for home visits?
If you offer them, absolutely — often the best-value page on the site. The person searching is usually a family member arranging care for an elderly parent, so it needs coverage areas, clinic-comparison pricing and a phone number.
Do you work with podiatrists outside Sussex?
Yes. I’m based in Brighton, Sussex, and work with clinics across the UK over calls and email. I’ve built over 100 WordPress websites and worked directly with more than 55 businesses — see a cross-section in my portfolio.
How is this different from your other health pages?
The fundamentals are shared with my medical website design and therapist web design work. Specific to podiatry: the dual-title problem, the age profile, home visits, orthotics, imagery. The general version is my web design page.
Are you a podiatry web design agency?
No — I’m one person, and for a foot clinic that’s usually the better fit. The person you brief designs it, builds it and answers the phone afterwards. Over ten years on WordPress, and 51 five-star reviews.
