Optometrists

Websites for optometrists.

Patients want an eye doctor who takes their vision plan and can see them soon, and many of them look at your frames before they come in. If your site is due for replacing we can build the new one, and either way we look after exam booking and the optical pages.

What we look after

What an eye care practice website has to do.

Book eye exams

Online booking comes from your practice software or a scheduling service. We put the booking button on every page, where patients expect it.

List the vision plans you take

Patients check for VSP or EyeMed before they book. When you add or drop a plan, email us and we change the list.

Show the optical shop

Photos of the shop and the frame lines you carry bring people in for glasses. We compress them so the page opens quickly on a phone.

Link contact lens reorders

If patients reorder contacts through a lens supplier or your patient portal, that link belongs on the homepage where they'll see it.

Explain medical eye care

If you treat dry eye or manage glaucoma, each of those can have its own page. We set them up when you send the details.

Keep health details off the site

Forms that ask for medical history or member numbers should come from your practice software. We go through the site's forms and point those ones there.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • The site says we take a vision plan we dropped last year.
  • Our optical page still shows frame brands we stopped carrying.
  • The online booking link goes to a page that says the practice isn't taking appointments.
  • Patients call to ask how to reorder contacts because they can't find the link on the site.
A note from Ryan

Exams and glasses on one site

An eye care site has two jobs, booking exams and getting people into the optical shop. When I look one over, I check the vision plan list against what your front desk tells me, because that list goes stale faster than anything else on the site. Then I look at whether the frame brands shown are ones you still carry.

Are patients booking exams from your site?

Send us your practice's site and we'll try booking an exam on a phone, check the forms, and send you a short list of what we'd change.

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

Yes, if your practice software or scheduling service offers it, and most do. We add the link or widget and check that it works on a phone.

Yes, through the service you already use. We put the reorder link on the homepage and on the contact lens page, so patients stop calling to ask where it is.

No. On Managed we move your site over free and look after it while you keep editing it. If you'd like a new design instead, Managed + Website builds one and then makes your changes for you.

Yes. Send us the new brands or photos of the shop and we put them up at web size. That comes out of your hour of developer time each month.

What customers say.

Reviews from Trustpilot

A person could not find a better company for their internet needs. Customer service is number 1. Whenever we have an issue Ryan addresses the problem immediately no matter the time or day.

Hosterr actually has a soul Hosterr is one of the few tech companies that I use that doesn't feel like it's trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. It works well, easy to switch and the services are fair value for my. A great fit for my marketing agency digital environment
Adam C.
Great customer service! I have multiple websites hosted on Hosterr. Setup was seamless and super easy, customer service has always been fantastic and quick to respond. I've had 100% uptime with no issues. Would recommend Hosterr to anyone looking for a reliable webhost.

I use Hosterr for multiple websites. I recommend them to anyone who needs hosting! I have never had an issue with downtime and my sites are blazing fast. Also their customer service is unmatched, leagues better than GoDaddy.
