Your Website Company
Stopped Calling Back.
You are still paying them. The site is still slow. That banner from last spring is still up. HostVet is the veterinary website design company the last one should have been. Same-day responses, updates live within 48 hours, and a real person who knows your practice by name.
Sound familiar?
- ✕You emailed a simple hours change nine days ago and it is still not live.
- ✕Your site takes six seconds to load on a phone, which is where most pet owners find you.
- ✕You get a report you do not understand, or no report at all.
- ✕Your "account manager" changed three times this year and you have never been on a call with any of them.
- ✕Nobody has touched the site since launch unless you asked.
- ✕You are told your site cannot be moved because it lives on their platform.
Six things your veterinary website design company probably isn't doing.
None of this is exotic. It is what a website partner is supposed to do. It just tends to stop happening once the build is finished and the invoice starts repeating.
Response Times Measured In Hours
Send us a change and you get a human reply the same business day, and the update itself is live within 24 to 48 hours, not "in the next sprint." No ticket queue, no portal, no waiting on an agency in a different time zone.
Live in 24 to 48 hoursProactive Updates, Not Just Requests
We watch your site so you don't have to. Seasonal content, expired promos, broken links, plugin updates, new service pages, all handled before you notice. If we spot something that will cost you calls, we fix it and then tell you.
We move firstA Site That Actually Loads Fast
Mobile-first builds on premium hosting, with images, caching, and Core Web Vitals handled properly. A pet owner deciding between you and the clinic down the road will not wait five seconds for your homepage. Speed is a booking issue, not a tech issue.
Built for mobileReporting You Can Actually Read
Every month you get a plain-English report: how many people found you, how many called, how many filled out a form, and what changed from last month. No 40-page PDF of vanity metrics. If a number moved, we tell you why.
Calls and forms, trackedReal One On One Meetings
A scheduled call with the same person every time, not a rotating support desk. We learn your practice, your busy seasons, the services you want to grow, and the ones you would rather not. You will never re-explain your clinic to a stranger.
Same person, every timeZero Proprietary Software
Your site is built on standard WordPress. Not our platform. Not a locked builder only we can log into. You own the site, the domain, the content, and the hosting account. If you ever leave, you take all of it with you, working.
You own everythingIf you can't take your website with you, you never owned it.
A lot of veterinary web companies build your site inside their own proprietary system. It looks like a website. It behaves like a rental. The moment you want to leave, you find out you are not moving a site, you are starting over from scratch and losing years of SEO with it.
HostVet builds on WordPress, the same platform that runs a huge share of the internet. Any competent developer on earth can pick it up. That is deliberate. We would rather earn your business every month than trap it.
Our honest pitch: we make it easy to leave, so you never want to. If we stop being worth $599 a month, you should be able to walk. That keeps us sharp.

Comparison reflects common practice across the veterinary web design category. Your current agreement may differ, and we are happy to read it with you on the call.
You've been dreading this. It takes about an hour of your time.
The reason most practices stay with a vendor they've outgrown is that leaving sounds exhausting. It isn't. We do the heavy lifting, and your current site stays live the entire time.
The honest audit
A 30 minute call. We look at your live site, your speed scores, and what you are paying now. If you are already in good hands, we will tell you so. Want a head start? Run the free website checkup first.
We handle the paperwork
We review your current contract with you, map the notice period, and take over the domain and hosting. You sign a couple of transfer approvals. That is your part.
Build, with your site still up
Your new site is built on a staging server while the old one keeps running. No downtime, no dead weeks, no "under construction" page in front of new clients.
Live, then always improving
We launch with redirects mapped so you keep your Google rankings. Then the monthly rhythm starts: proactive updates, reporting, and your standing call.
One flat monthly fee. No surprises. Ever.
The same number every month, whether you send us two updates or twenty. No hourly billing, no change-order emails, no "that's out of scope."
No deposit. No setup fee. 0% APR options available.
Add-ons stay month to month. Google Ads management and social media are optional and never locked in. Turn them on when you want growth, off when you don't.
The questions everyone asks before switching.
Nobody changes vendors casually. Here is what practice owners actually want to know.
I'm still under contract with my current company. Now what?
Will I lose my Google rankings?
How much of my staff's time does this take?
What if my current vendor won't release my domain or site?
What counts as an "unlimited routine update"?
Do you work with other kinds of businesses?
What happens on the free call?
Stop chasing your website company.
Thirty minutes, a real look at your current site, and an honest answer. Worst case you learn exactly what to demand from the veterinary website design company you already have.
