Website

Establish a presence on the internet

Select a domain name for your website

Use a tool like Google Domains to check availability and purchase your domain. If you use Google Domains, it'll be very easy to set up email as well (more below).

Make a website for your practice

There are a lot of ways to get a website up and running.

  • Build your website yourself using a website builder service like Wix, WordPress, or Squarespace. These charge a monthly fee ($10-20) and let you design your site with a drag-and-drop interface. Personally, I recommend Squarespace; it has a very clean interface and easy to make a beautiful site.
  • Hire a freelance programmer using Upwork or Freelancer. Typical cost is $500-1000 dollars.
  • You could also solicit a web design studio, which will cost more then a freelancer but deliver a well-designed and polished product. This will usually exceed a thousand dollars, but gets cheaper if you find a studio who has made similar websites in the past (like Peachy Hill).
  • Use DPC Spot. DPC Spot is probably the easiest to set up a website for your practice, since their templates already contain a lot of DPC-tailored content. Check out a sample site here.

Set up email hosting

This will let you receive email at an address with your new domain. Usually you can do this through whatever service you used to purchase the domain in the first place.

Google offers a business offering called GSuite that includes email hosting. The price is $5/user/month, which gets you email hosting in addition to a bunch of other Google services like Calendar, Docs, and Drive. Plus, Google will sign a BAA, so you can have HIPAA-compliant email thorugh a familiar Gmail interface.
