6.8s — fails Core Web Vitals
Drag-and-drop website builders with off-the-shelf medical templates. The doctor (or their spouse) builds and maintains the site themselves on a subscription that runs forever.
Switch to doctorpages when…
- You'd rather practise medicine than spend weekends in a builder.
- You need Bengali copy that doesn't read like auto-translation.
- You run multiple chambers and want each one to have proper MedicalClinic schema — not a single contact page.
- You care about Google rankings — Wix's avg mobile LCP of 6.8s fails Core Web Vitals.
Stick with Wix / Squarespace when…
- You actively enjoy building websites and have the time for it.
- You want a brochure-grade single-page site with no SEO ambition.
- You only need English copy and one location.
Questions worth asking your shortlist
Three questions for any vendor
- 01“Who's writing my Bengali patient copy — me, at 11 pm after OPD?”
- 02“Who sets up Google Business Profile per chamber and writes MedicalClinic schema correctly for local-pack ranking?”
- 03“How many weekends will I realistically spend in the builder before launch — and after, every time content changes?”
Useful for evaluating any doctor-website vendor — including us.
Honest note
Wix and Squarespace are excellent products for the right audience. If you have the time and English-only content works, take Wix Core for $29/mo. We exist for the doctor who wants the site to be done.
