Web Developer Needed for Orthoptic Clinical Website with Appointment Booking

Job Description I am an orthoptist based in Australia looking for a web developer to design and develop a modern, professional website for my orthoptic services. The main purpose of the website is to provide patients with information about me and the services I offer and allow them to easily view my availability and book a consultation online. The website should have a clean, professional healthcare focused design and work particularly well on mobile devices. I am looking for a straightforward and maintainable solution rather than an unnecessarily complicated healthcare platform. Website Pages The website should include approximately 5 to 6 main pages or sections: Home About Me Services Book Appointment FAQ Contact Privacy and cancellation information should also be included where appropriate. Home Page The homepage should provide a professional introduction to the practice and include: Professional introduction Professional photograph Qualifications and credentials Overview of services Clear Book Appointment button Contact and location information The design should establish trust while remaining simple and welcoming. About Me A professional profile displaying: Biography Qualifications Professional experience Registrations and credentials Areas of expertise Professional photograph The required professional information and content will be provided. Services A single Services page should present the orthoptic services available. Depending on the practitioner’s scope, these may include: Children’s orthoptic assessments Squint and strabismus assessments Amblyopia management Double vision and diplopia assessments Binocular vision assessments Convergence problems Eye movement and ocular motility assessments Prism assessments Neurological visual assessments The final services and wording will be provided and approved by the practitioner. Separate pages for every service are not required. Appointment Booking Patients should be able to book consultations online. The booking process should be simple: Choose appointment type → Select available date and time → Enter contact details → Confirm booking The system should support: Available appointment dates and times Different appointment types if required Patient name and contact details Prevention of double bookings Booking confirmation Practitioner notification I am open to using a reliable third party scheduling solution if this provides a better experience within the project budget. There is no requirement to build a complicated scheduling platform from scratch. Availability The practitioner should have an easy way to manage availability. This should include: Setting normal available hours Blocking unavailable dates Viewing upcoming appointments This can be provided through the booking platform rather than requiring a large custom administration system. Contact and FAQ The website should include: Contact form Phone and email Practice location Opening and consultation hours Frequently asked questions Clear booking links Google Maps can be included if the practice operates from a physical location. Mobile and Accessibility The website must work properly across mobile, tablet, laptop and desktop devices. Because this is a vision related healthcare service, particular attention should be given to: Readable typography Good colour contrast Clear navigation Accessible forms Large and obvious buttons Simple booking process Design Style The desired design should be: Clean, professional, modern, trustworthy, calm and accessible. I do not want an overly complicated hospital style website. The focus should be on the individual orthoptist, their professional credentials, services and making it easy for patients to book a consultation. Preferred Technology A modern web stack is preferred, ideally: Next.js React TypeScript Tailwind CSS Vercel or similar hosting For appointment scheduling, I am open to either a lightweight custom implementation or integration with a reliable existing booking service. The website should be easy to maintain after completion. Privacy and Security Only information necessary for making an appointment should be collected. The website is not intended to store clinical records or detailed medical information. Basic security, secure forms, HTTPS and appropriate handling of contact and booking information are expected. Deliverables The completed project should include: 1. Professional responsive website 2.Home page 3.Orthoptist profile and About section 4.Services page 5.Appointment booking functionality 6.Availability management 7.FAQ section 8.Contact form and practice information 9.Mobile, tablet and desktop optimisation 10.Basic accessibility considerations 11.Booking confirmations and notifications 12.Production deployment 13.Professional responsive website Source code handover Not Required To keep the project within scope and budget, the following are not required: Full custom admin system Individual pages for every service Advanced SEO work Blog Patient portal Medical records Clinical notes Medicare integration Insurance integration Online payments Telehealth or video calls Native mobile applications Multiple practitioner scheduling Complex Google Calendar integration SMS notifications Budget AUD $700 to $1,000 fixed price The final price can depend on experience, portfolio and the proposed booking solution.
