Typically, most marketing agencies offer one to four Web site packages. The smallest package is generally a one or two page site. This entails a home page and an additional page, such as a contact page, disclaimer page, or biography page. If you really want to go all out, you can purchase a larger site with nine or more pages. This type of site can have a range of pages including the ones already mentioned as well as an about page, links page, FAQs page, testimonials, etc.

Prices vary greatly depending on the service provider. However, you can have a semi-customized Web site built for as low as $200 with a monthly hosting fee of $15. The ideal site provider will include e-mail service and site maintenance in the monthly hosting fee. Custom sites are also available, but at a higher price. Most Web site providers offer enhanced marketing services and additional Web solutions for medical practices.

To find a Web site provider, start by searching the Internet for appealing medical office sites. Quite often, Web sites feature a link to its creator. So if you see a site you like, search for a link (or e-mail the site owner) to learn more about the provider. Many providers will advertise their prices online. Custom sites, however, usually require a quote.
