Web Development for Medical Practices
From straightforward practice websites to complex patient portals, we build web solutions that work for healthcare. Secure, fast, mobile-friendly, and built to integrate with the systems you already use.
Your website isn't just a digital brochure—it's often the first interaction patients have with your practice. It needs to work: load fast, look professional, function on every device, and make it easy for patients to take the next step.
We build websites specifically for medical practices. That means we understand HIPAA compliance, EHR integrations, patient portal requirements, and the specific ways healthcare websites need to work differently than other industries.
Whether you need a simple informational site or a complex multi-location platform with patient scheduling and portal access, we can help.
What We Build
Different practices need different solutions. Here's what we typically build:
Practice Websites
Informational websites that introduce your practice, showcase your providers, explain your services, and make it easy for patients to get in touch.
Patient Portals
Secure portals where patients can access their information, communicate with your office, and manage their care—integrated with your existing systems.
Appointment Systems
Online scheduling that lets patients book appointments directly, reducing phone calls and filling your schedule more efficiently.
Multi-Location Sites
Websites for practice groups with multiple locations, providers, and service lines—organized so patients can easily find what they need.
Healthcare-Specific Considerations
Building for healthcare isn't like building for other industries. These are the things we pay special attention to:
HIPAA Compliance
Any form or system that collects patient information must be HIPAA compliant. We build with encryption, secure hosting, access controls, and proper data handling from the start.
System Integration
Healthcare practices run on multiple systems—EHR, practice management, scheduling, billing. We build sites that integrate with your existing tools rather than creating silos.
Accessibility (ADA/WCAG)
Healthcare websites should be accessible to everyone. We build to WCAG standards, ensuring patients with disabilities can navigate and use your site.
Mobile Experience
Most patients will visit your site on their phone. We build mobile-first, ensuring everything works smoothly on smaller screens.
Page Speed
Slow sites lose visitors. We optimize for performance—fast loading, efficient code, optimized images—because every second matters.
Security
Healthcare sites are targets. We implement SSL, security headers, regular updates, and monitoring to protect your site and your patients' data.
Systems We Integrate With
We have experience connecting websites with common healthcare platforms. Integration capabilities vary by system—we'll assess what's possible for your specific setup.
Don't see your system? We likely have experience with it or can figure it out. The list above is representative, not exhaustive.
Our Development Process
A clear process keeps projects on track and ensures you know what's happening at every stage.
Discovery & Planning
1-2 weeksWe start by understanding your practice, your patients, and your goals. We review your current site (if any), look at competitors, and identify what you need. You'll get a detailed project plan before we write any code.
Design & Approval
2-3 weeksWe create visual mockups showing exactly how your site will look—on desktop, tablet, and mobile. You'll review, provide feedback, and approve the design before development begins.
Development
3-6 weeksWe build your site with clean, modern code. We set up integrations, build forms, configure hosting, and implement all the functionality we planned. You'll see progress along the way.
Testing & Refinement
1-2 weeksWe test everything—functionality, integrations, forms, mobile experience, page speed, accessibility. We fix issues and refine until everything works correctly.
Launch & Training
1 weekWhen you're ready, we launch. We handle the technical details, monitor for issues, and train your team on how to use and update the site.
Ongoing Support
OngoingAfter launch, we're still here. We provide hosting, security updates, and support. When you need changes or have questions, we're a phone call away.

Nephrology Practices
Nephrology sites often need patient education sections for CKD stages, dialysis information, and connections to dialysis center resources. We understand the long patient journey and build sites that support it.

Eye care sites often balance clinical information with optical retail. LASIK marketing pages need different treatment than routine exam information. Visual presentation matters more here than almost anywhere else.

What technologies do you use?
We choose based on your needs. For most medical practices, we use modern frameworks like Astro or Next.js for speed and security, or WordPress when you need easy content editing. For patient portals and custom applications, we typically use React with secure backend services. We'll recommend what fits your situation.
Can you integrate with our EHR?
Usually, yes—but it depends on the EHR. Some systems have robust APIs that make integration straightforward. Others are more limited. We'll assess what's possible during discovery and give you realistic expectations. Sometimes the best approach is integration through middleware like Zocdoc or Phreesia rather than direct EHR connection.
How do you handle HIPAA compliance?
We build HIPAA requirements into every aspect of the project: encrypted data transmission (SSL/TLS), secure form handling, proper hosting with BAA capability, access controls, and audit logging where needed. We can also sign a Business Associate Agreement. That said, HIPAA compliance is a shared responsibility—we build compliant systems, but your policies and procedures matter too.
Will we be able to update the site ourselves?
If that's important to you, yes. We can build on platforms like WordPress that give you an easy admin interface for content updates. Or we can handle all updates for you as part of an ongoing support agreement. We'll discuss what makes sense for your team during planning.
What about SEO?
We build with SEO best practices: proper HTML structure, fast loading, mobile-friendly, schema markup for healthcare. But SEO is more than code—it requires ongoing content and optimization. We offer SEO services separately if you want us to actively work on improving your search rankings.
How much does custom development cost?
It varies widely based on complexity. A straightforward practice website might be $5,000-10,000. A site with patient portal integration, appointment scheduling, and multiple locations could be $15,000-30,000+. Custom web applications with complex integrations are higher. We'll give you a detailed quote after understanding your needs.
