An ophthalmology practice in Vienna-Hietzing lives or dies by the first contact: patients want to see at a glance who is in charge, what is offered and when the next appointment is available. For Dr. Stappen we built a TYPO3 website that did exactly that — calm, factual, free of generic practice-website clichés and without barriers for visitors with limited vision.
- TYPO3 as the CMS so the front desk can update opening hours, holidays and services without touching code
- Responsive layout for mobile and tablet with a flyout menu, since most patients open a practice website on the go
- Low-barrier implementation with sufficient contrast, readable typography and clean keyboard navigation
- Semantic HTML5 and CSS3 instead of visual tricks — essential for screen readers and older browsers in a healthcare context
- SEO hygiene with speaking URLs, sensible headings and curated meta descriptions for the 1130 Vienna and Hietzing area
- Fast load times thanks to lean markup and optimised assets, even on older mobile devices
The site we built with rockit served as the digital business card of the Dr. Stappen practice for many years — easy to find for local searches around eye care in the 13th district, readable on any device, and reassuringly understated. Today it lives on as a reference from an era when we built medical practice websites to be compact and long-lived.
