An important caveat first: standard website builders are not HIPAA compliant and will not sign a business associate agreement, so never collect protected health information through a normal form. Use them for clinic presence, education and booking, and keep records in a compliant system.

Squarespace
Best for clinic presence and booking
Squarespace pairs polished templates with Acuity scheduling, and Acuity offers a paid HIPAA add on with a signed agreement for the booking piece specifically. The website itself is not HIPAA covered, so keep intake and records elsewhere.
Wix Bookings handles appointments well and the app market covers patient facing extras. Like the others it is not HIPAA compliant, so it fits informational and scheduling needs rather than anything touching medical records.
For a practice that publishes a lot of patient education, WordPress is the strongest content and SEO platform here, with accessible themes available. It needs more upkeep and is still not HIPAA compliant for data capture.
Webflow gives a design team full control to build a clean, accessible practice site with semantic markup. There is no native booking and the learning curve is steep, so reach for it when design and standards matter most.
GoDaddy puts a basic practice site online fast, with booking on the Premium plan. It is the most limited option here on design and accessibility, and renewal pricing is not published.
