Most timeline articles hand you a range and stop there. This one shows you where every week of a website project actually goes, names the four things behind almost every delay, and puts a cost in days on each of them. Read it before you sign anything, because it will tell you whether the date you have been quoted is a real plan or a hopeful one.
Almost every page answering this question hides behind the words it depends, so this one does the opposite. Here are the real price bands, a typical quote taken apart line by line, the arithmetic behind every driver that lifts a number, the bill that arrives every year after launch, and an honest account of the times when the cheaper option is the one we would tell you to take.
Whole folders almost never vanish in a records migration; what disappears is one loose page, an allergy written in a margin, or a phone number that lost its leading zero. This is the field method we use in real clinics: count the shelves first, type in only the patients who are still active, scan and index the rest, then check a 5 percent sample against the paper before a single box is closed.
Slow pages lose visitors and rankings. The good news: most speed problems have well-known, fixable causes.
Most clinic software is sold as a list of features, which tells you very little about whether it is worth the money. So instead of a feature list, we walk through one ordinary Tuesday in a clinic with four doctors and forty booked visits, from the day list at 07:50 to the shift close at 18:00, showing the minutes and the money each part gives back, and saying plainly where a small clinic should buy the cheap ready made product rather than build anything.
Most articles on this question quote one vendor's licence price and stop there. This one builds the whole bill a clinic actually signs: the software line, the migration, the training, the hardware on the desks, and the running costs that arrive every year after go live. It also runs the five year arithmetic for renting against owning at eight users and at forty, and says honestly where a custom build stops paying for itself.
Three businesses ask us this same question in three different ways, and the honest answer is rarely the biggest option. This guide hands you a five minute test built from three questions, the build and running numbers we quote in practice for each choice, and the plain arithmetic that shows when the cheaper option earns more. By the end you will have a decision, a budget and a next step.
Your new site got compliments and the enquiry inbox barely moved, which is a specific problem with a specific fix. This is the arithmetic of your own website in three numbers you can find in an afternoon, the five changes we make for real clients in the order that moves the number, and an honest account of when repairing five pages beats paying for a full rebuild.
Most guides to this decision hand you a polite checklist and leave you no wiser when you are actually sitting across the table. This one does the opposite. Here are the exact questions to ask a web design company, the answers that should make you pause, the arithmetic behind a US$2,000 quote against a US$12,000 one, the timeline you can hold anyone to, and an honest account of when the cheapest option is the right one.
