Ergotherapie im Brunnenhof, Wernigerode: a practice site with its own theme

The aim was a practice website that presents occupational therapy and relaxation as one house, picks up the colours of the logo and keeps the way to an appointment short: one-tap calling from every page, plus an enquiry form. Because patients may share health details there, the form needed its own consent under Art. 9 GDPR. Concept, design and technical implementation came from us; the practice photos came from the practice.

The design concept is called “Im Brunnenhof”: the water and sound circles from the logo carry the site. Calm concentric rings are the only decorative element, bullet points and section markers are rings, the home page photo sits in a circular arc, and deep green bands for the guiding idea, the appointment call-out and the footer give the brand room. The site is set in the serif face Vollkorn and the sans-serif Mulish, both served as woff2 (a compressed web font format) from the site's own server with preload. Motion such as spreading rings or rising bubbles only runs when “reduce motion” is not set in the system.

All seven pages – home, occupational therapy, relaxation, about, contact, legal notice and privacy – live as fixed content in the theme; on activation the theme creates them itself, and the practice details sit in one single place. The form, spam protection, mail delivery and search engine data are part of the theme and need no plugins. All interaction sits in one small theme script without libraries. Images are delivered as WebP (a modern, compact image format) in two sizes, the hero image with priority, the photos below only when scrolled into view. Four illustrative images are marked as AI-generated in the legal notice; they show no one from the practice.

The site shows no cookie banner: it sets no cookies and loads nothing from third-party servers on page load; Google Maps is only linked. The enquiry form on the contact page requires consent that explicitly covers health details, asks people not to send detailed medical reports, and does not store the message on the website – the enquiry goes to the practice by email only. It keeps spam out without a captcha service: with a one-time token (a verification key that is valid only once), invisible decoy fields only machines fill in, a content check and limits per sender. The home and contact pages carry structured data (JSON-LD, a machine-readable data block in the source code) as a health business with address; the server delivers HTTPS with HSTS (the browser enforces the encrypted connection) and security headers; on top come a skip link to the content and a clearly visible keyboard focus.
