A website in a day
A veterinary practice does not need twenty pages. It needs one that works. Dr Jan Van den Daele runs his practice on the Graaf van Vlaanderenplein in Ghent: one vet, the same hands, from consultation to surgery. His new site is exactly that, in web form.
The four questions everybody asks
Anyone looking for a vet wants to know four things: can I come with my animal, what happens on site, what should I bring, and where exactly is it. So the page is ordered that way — as questions, not as a menu with “Services”.
The phone number sits at the top, because appointments are made by phone. Below it the opening hours and the weekend on-call number, and at the bottom a map. What is not on it: a contact form that sits unread for three days.
Being honest about what you don’t do
The best line on the site isn’t ours, it’s his: “Nearly everything happens here. For a number of specialised procedures I refer you on — and you’ll know that beforehand, not afterwards.” That sentence does more for trust than three pages about quality ever could.
What fits into one working day
This is a one-pager, and we build those in a single working day. Not because we type fast, but because the foundation is already there: our own design system, Kirby as the CMS, and hosting standing by.
That day covers the design in the practice’s own style, editing and entering the text, processing the images, checking the page from phone to wide screen, the security side (no plugin clutter, HTTPS, spam filtering on anything open), a map without Google and therefore without a cookie banner, the SEO basics, and the launch itself.
An admin that speaks plain language
The site comes with an admin he can work in himself. It runs on Kirby, the CMS we reach for first: no database to feed, no pile of plugins asking for an update every month — just the page and the fields that belong to it.
And those fields are named after what they do. No “Field group 3” with a keyring of settings, but “Sentence above the number”, “Photo that sinks into the bar” and “Small line at the bottom”. You shouldn’t have to learn how a CMS thinks before you can change a sentence.
So changing an opening hour isn’t a support ticket, it’s two minutes. A notice about the weekend on-call service goes up with a single switch, and it takes a date that makes it disappear again by itself — because a message left standing until next year is a classic too.
Need something like this?
A good one-pager costs one day of our time. No subscription, no bundle of things you never use, no page builder you have to wrestle with yourself. You get a page that does its job, and that you can keep up to date.
Call or email us with what you need. If it fits in a day, we’ll say so. If it doesn’t, we’ll say that too — and how many days it is instead. Get in touch.
