Homepage creation for Psychotherapists and Psychologists
Typical Problems of Many Practice Websites
Many practice websites seem interchangeable, technically outdated, or fail to build trust. Exactly this results in fewer inquiries.
I already have a website that is several years old. Do I need to have it redesigned?
Technically outdated websites are difficult to maintain and expand and are often poorly usable on mobile devices. At the latest, when new topics come up and you want to expand your website, you'll hit limitations.
Is it a good idea to create the practice website yourself?
A DIY website builder often has blind spots, as important legal and content aspects are overlooked due to lack of knowledge. There is often a lack of sensitivity for appropriate imagery and suitable presentation. Rather than providing clear information, a self-made website creates confusion and does more harm than good.
Do I need a web agency familiar with the professional field of psychotherapists?
Yes, a website for psychotherapists requires sensitivity, expertise, and experience. In your professional field, there are several aspects that require close attention. You can learn more about this on this page and in a free initial consultation.
We are an experienced web agency specialized in healthcare professionals such as psychologists, doctors, and coaches
With us as an experienced and professional partner by your side, you can be sure that together we will focus on what really matters, both regarding legal aspects and presentation. We guide you through a process that gives you a good feeling, knowing your website has been carefully thought out and optimized in every regard.
We optimize your practice website for Google, Bing and AI systems
In a free initial consultation, we advise you regarding all wishes and goals. What is the market situation and competition? Do you have a private practice and want to offer special services for self-pay patients? Then search engine optimization (SEO) may be relevant—so you can be easily found online.
We create your website in compliance with the GDPR
The legal requirements mostly arise from the GDPR, the Digital Services Act (DDG), and industry-specific provider identification laws.
This leads to mandatory information in the legal notice and privacy policy on your homepage.
Which details must be included in the privacy policy depends on which data is processed on the website.
We are your experienced partner for your legal notice and privacy policy and support you with our agency access to erecht24.de in creating the necessary texts. We work with you to compile the mandatory details required.
More about 'Legal aspects and GDPR'
We observe the German Advertising of Medicinal Products law (HWG) in your online presence
As a psychotherapist or psychologist, you are subject to the HWG as well as professional legal requirements. These define how you may present your services online.
We know these requirements precisely and support you in making your practice website legally compliant, yet appealing.
This means in practice:
- Factual, informative content instead of classic advertising
- No exaggerated healing promises or guarantees of success
- Clear information about qualifications, methods, memberships, and costs
- Complete mandatory information: legal notice, privacy, contact, if applicable, billing notes
We translate these rules into a modern, clear website structure—professional, trustworthy, and compliant with the German HWG and the GDPR.
Reference: Creating a homepage for a child and adolescent psychotherapist
The previous homepage for the child and adolescent psychotherapist lacked impact and clarity in its logo, design, and content. The client wanted a more professional appearance, where patients can find information more quickly and inquiries are well integrated into the practice organization.
For the new homepage, we had a new logo developed by a graphic designer friend, in close dialogue with the psychotherapist. The result is clear and light, referencing children and adolescents without appearing playful. Elements of the logo serve as eye-catchers for the menu and page headings. The rounding from the logo is reflected in the web design, visually structuring the website and adding contrast and clarity.
With the help of a photographer, we found a suitable visual language that is friendly and informative at the same time. This reduces the inhibition threshold for making first contact.
As for the content, we worked together with the psychotherapist to sharpen her profile and differentiate her services. A special focus was placed on providing clear information to patients about how to get in touch. This relieves the therapist’s practice organization.
Directions, notes on public transport and parking, as well as an exterior view of the practice help clients prepare for their first visit.
