This so-called domain is usually secured by a corresponding service provider - a provider or a web hoster. It is important to find a meaningful, easy to remember solution for domain names. The doctor's office name should be included in the Internet address.

The cheapest and most convenient option is to book the domain in a package with further required services. In any case, this includes the web space, i.e. the storage space in the network, which is required for storing the website data. This server space ensures that the website can be accessed around the clock from anywhere. Other standard services in the context of a hosting package are databases and e-mail addresses In addition, depending on the package, there are other services.

The costs for this amount to five to ten euros per month, depending on the scope and provider. Of course there are also free offers. However, this should be avoided when creating a website for a doctor's office. Because with free solutions, there is no domain of its own, but there are often advertisements on the site. Say: It disturbs the serious impression.

There are fixed limits to the content of physicians websites. These are determined by professional law and the "Berufsrecht und dem Heilmittelwerbegesetz (HWG)". Informing is therefore okay - explicit advertising against it is forbidden. Suitable and permissible contents for the doctor's office website include, but are not limited to:

• The range of services in doctor's office
• The possible membership of a group of doctor's offices
• Factual information on clinical pictures and examination methods
• Integration of links to assessment portals on which the physician is registered
• Current information on dates (emergency services, health courses)

Updating and structuring the physician website

Also for physicians is valid: Who would like to land in the results of the search machines completely in front, comes around a search machine optimization to be updated, since that is positively evaluated by search machines such as Google.

A well thought-out structuring of the website and its contents is also important. Here, for example, it is important to structure texts and provide them with headings and subheadings. Each subpage should have an appropriate page title. It is also indispensable to place keywords on the site.

Create a physician website for a doctor's office without programming skills?

Today, creating professional websites has become easy and inexpensive and is possible even without a great deal of technical knowledge. So-called physician website builders are the solution for all those who want to set up a web presence on their own.

On one hand, these solutions offer attractive design templates tailored to the respective industry, which can be individualised and filled with their own content with little effort. On the other hand, they largely save the user from having to deal with technical details. Neither FTP access nor database management is required. The web hoster or the provider of the software takes care of security updates - automatically and inconspicuously in the background.

These plus points are of course also offset by some cutbacks that have to be made in comparison to classic content management systems (CMS). Some special features and tools may need to be waived. In addition, a website created using a physician website builder can never be as individual as a completely self-created website.

What should be considered when choosing a provider?

There are now a large number of providers on the market and it is difficult to find the optimal solution right away. When creating a physician website, care should be taken to ensure that the following criteria are met:

• The website can be updated quickly and easily without programming knowledge;
