What's included

Every technical layer your
practice website needs

A medical website is not a brochure. It is a patient acquisition system. These six foundations determine whether it ranks, converts, and stays compliant after launch.

  • Mobile-responsive design

    Over 70% of healthcare searches happen on mobile. Every layout, form, and booking button is built and tested on mobile first. Click-to-call is visible without scrolling on every page.

  • WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance

    Healthcare websites are held to accessibility standards under ADA and Section 508. We audit and build for WCAG 2.1 AA compliance including color contrast, keyboard navigation, and screen reader compatibility.

  • HIPAA-compliant contact forms

    Every contact form, appointment request, and intake widget is built with correct data handling, SSL encryption, no PHI in unsecured fields, and compliant confirmation workflows.

  • Fast loading speeds and Core Web Vitals

    Google uses Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS) as ranking signals. We optimize images, eliminate render-blocking resources, implement lazy loading, and target a Lighthouse performance score above 90.

  • Patient portal integration

    Integration with your existing patient portal, EHR system, or scheduling platform so patients can book, check results, or fill out intake forms directly from your website.

  • Secure SSL encryption

    SSL certificate setup and configuration across every subdomain. Google flags non-HTTPS sites as insecure. Healthcare websites without SSL also create HIPAA exposure in any form submission.

  • Key Benefit

    Make a strong first impression with a modern website that converts visitors and ranks well in search engines.

Who this is for

Any business that needs a professional, conversion-optimized website. We design for healthcare practices, law firms, HVAC companies, and any service business where local search and patient or client acquisition is the goal.

Dentists Pediatric Dentists Orthodontists Med Spas Dermatology Lawyers HVAC All Industries

Built to rank from day one

Every website we build includes correct JSON-LD schema for MedicalClinic, MedicalSpecialty, and Physician entities, proper canonical structure, hreflang for UK practices, and an XML sitemap submitted to Google Search Console on launch day.

CMS handoff and training

Every project includes a recorded CMS training walkthrough so your team can update content, add blog posts, and change business hours without touching code or calling a developer.

CMS Platform Guide -- Medical Website Design
CMS Platform Guide

Choosing the right CMS
for your practice website

The CMS you choose affects what your team can edit, how fast your site loads, how well it ranks, and how much it costs to maintain. Here is an honest breakdown of every platform we work with.

Our Recommendation

WordPress

With Elementor Pro or Kadence
Best overall for healthcare
  • Full SEO control, custom schema, custom URL structures
  • Elementor Pro drag-and-drop, no code needed for content edits
  • 50,000+ plugins, including healthcare booking and EHR integrations
  • HIPAA-compliant form plugins available (Gravity Forms, WPForms)
  • Total content ownership, portable to any host
  • Scales from 5-page practice site to 200-page multi-location group
  • Requires regular plugin and theme updates
  • Security depends on host and plugin quality
Best for
Any practice that wants full SEO control, long-term flexibility, and the ability to add blog content and landing pages without a developer.
We build on WordPress by default. It gives us complete control over schema, page speed optimization, local SEO structure, and CMS handoff. Your team gets a recorded training video showing exactly how to update content after launch.

Webflow

Design-forward, code-optional
Good for design-led practices
  • Exceptional visual design control, pixel-perfect layouts
  • Built-in CMS for blog posts and team member pages
  • Good Core Web Vitals out of the box
  • SSL, CDN, and hosting included
  • Limited SEO schema control compared to WordPress
  • Fewer HIPAA-compliant form options natively
  • CMS editing less intuitive for non-technical staff
  • Monthly platform costs, content is platform-dependent
Best for
Medical spas and aesthetic practices where brand visual identity is the primary priority and blog publishing is minimal.
We can build on Webflow and add custom schema via Webflow's embed blocks. Schema is more manual to maintain than WordPress, and HIPAA-compliant forms require third-party tools.

Squarespace

Simple but limited
Limited for healthcare SEO
  • Very easy for staff to update content and images
  • Templates look professional out of the box
  • Hosting, SSL, and domain included
  • No custom JSON-LD schema support
  • Very limited URL structure control
  • No HIPAA-compliant form integrations natively
  • Poor Core Web Vitals on image-heavy pages
  • Not portable, content locked to Squarespace
Best for
Practices that already have Squarespace and need content updates, not practices starting a new site with SEO as a goal.
We do not recommend building new practice sites on Squarespace. The schema and URL limitations directly limit local SEO performance. If you are already on Squarespace, we can optimize within its constraints.

Wix

Easy to use, hard to scale
Not recommended for SEO
  • Drag-and-drop editing, very low learning curve
  • Built-in booking tool (Wix Bookings)
  • Affordable entry-level pricing
  • Historically poor Core Web Vitals and page speed
  • Limited schema markup control
  • URL structure includes unnecessary parameters
  • Content is not portable if you ever want to migrate
  • Not suitable for multi-location SEO structure
Best for
Practices with an existing Wix site who need content edits. Not suitable for building a new site if Map Pack ranking is the goal.
We can work with existing Wix sites for content and GBP optimization, but we recommend migrating to WordPress for any practice serious about long-term local SEO performance.

Custom Build

Next.js, Gatsby, or headless CMS
Best performance, highest cost
  • Near-perfect Core Web Vitals and page speed
  • Complete control over schema, structure, and performance
  • Can connect to any CMS backend (Sanity, Contentful, Strapi)
  • Ideal for multi-location groups with 10+ locations
  • Significantly higher build cost and timeline
  • Requires developer for any structural changes
  • CMS editor experience depends on chosen backend
Best for
Multi-location DSOs and large practice groups that need maximum performance, complex location page structures, and API integrations with EHR systems.
We scope custom builds case by case. For single-location practices, WordPress delivers 95% of the performance benefit at a fraction of the cost and timeline.

Shopify

For med spas selling products
Good for product-selling practices
  • Best-in-class e-commerce for skincare and retail product sales
  • Secure checkout, inventory management, subscriptions
  • Good performance and SSL included
  • App ecosystem for booking and memberships
  • Not designed for service-based healthcare SEO
  • Limited local SEO schema support
  • Blog CMS is basic, not suited for YMYL content strategy
  • Overkill for practices that do not sell physical products
Best for
Medical spas that sell skincare products online alongside services. Not recommended as a primary practice website platform for service-only practices.
Some med spas use a Shopify store alongside a WordPress main site. We can set up and connect both if product retail is a meaningful part of your revenue.

Design standards

What every website we build
includes as standard

Not optional add-ons. Every project includes these technical and design foundations because leaving any one out directly hurts ranking, conversion, or compliance.

Mobile-first layout

Every page is designed at 375px width first, then expanded to desktop. Click-to-call is always visible above the fold on mobile without scrolling.

JSON-LD schema on every page

MedicalClinic, MedicalSpecialty, Physician, FAQPage, and LocalBusiness schema applied correctly across all page types. Validated with Google Rich Results Test before launch.

Core Web Vitals above 90

Target Lighthouse performance score of 90 or above. Images served in WebP, lazy loading applied, render-blocking CSS and JS eliminated, and CDN configured on launch.

HIPAA-conscious forms

All forms reviewed against HIPAA requirements before launch. No PHI in unsecured fields, correct data storage, and compliant confirmation workflows throughout.

Local SEO structure built in

URL structure, internal linking, canonical tags, XML sitemap, and Google Search Console setup completed on launch day. Not retrofitted later.

Provider and team pages

Dedicated provider bio pages with credentials, board certifications, and authored content attribution that satisfies Google's E-E-A-T requirements for YMYL healthcare content.

How it works

Fast, reliable, and built
around your competitors

We research what your top competitors are doing right, identify what they are missing, and build you a website that outperforms them from day one. No bloated timelines, no back-and-forth delays.

Fast turnaround Reliable delivery Competitor research included Built for your industry
Phase 01

Competitor research and audit

We analyze your top 3 to 5 local competitors. What their sites do well, where they fall short, and which design patterns are converting in your market. You get a site that beats them, not one that copies them.

Phase 02

Wireframe and content plan

Page-by-page wireframes built around your industry and audience. CTA placement, trust signal positioning, and content structure decided before a single line of code is written.

Phase 03

Design and build

Fast, focused build on your chosen CMS. Mobile-first, Core Web Vitals optimized, JSON-LD schema applied, HIPAA-conscious forms configured, and SSL set up from the start.

Phase 04

Review and QA

Full cross-browser and cross-device QA. Google Rich Results Test for schema, Lighthouse performance audit, WCAG accessibility check, and compliance review before you see the final build.

Phase 05

Launch and handoff

Site goes live. Search Console and Analytics configured, XML sitemap submitted, and a recorded CMS training walkthrough delivered so your team updates content independently from day one.

Typical timeline
2 to 4 weeks for most projects
Standard practice websites launch in 2 to 4 weeks. Larger multi-location or custom builds are scoped individually. Timeline starts the day we receive your content, not the day you sign.

Why it matters

Your website is the last step
before a patient books or leaves

Local SEO gets clients and patients to your website. What happens in the next eight seconds determines whether they call or go to a competitor, regardless of your industry.

53%

of mobile visitors leave a page that takes longer than three seconds to load, regardless of how good your SEO is

70%

of healthcare searches happen on mobile, making mobile-first design a patient acquisition requirement, not a preference

3x

higher conversion rate on pages with a single above-the-fold CTA compared to pages with multiple competing actions

WCAG

2.1 AA compliance protects against ADA lawsuits, which have targeted healthcare websites at an increasing rate since 2022

Why SEO Medical Clinic

Website design and SEO built
together from the start

Most design agencies hand off to an SEO agency after launch. We do both, which means the SEO structure is never an afterthought retrofitted into a site that was built without it.

SEO structure from day one

URL structure, schema, internal linking, and canonical setup are decided in Phase 1, not patched in after launch. The site is built to rank, not rebuilt to rank.

HIPAA-conscious throughout

Every form, data flow, and confirmation workflow is reviewed against HIPAA requirements before launch. Healthcare compliance is not an add-on, it is part of the build process.

CMS you can actually use

We build on the platform your team can manage independently. Every project includes a recorded training walkthrough so updating content never requires calling a developer.

Core Web Vitals guaranteed

We target a Lighthouse performance score above 90 on every build. If it is below that at launch, we keep optimizing until it reaches that threshold before signing off.

AI search ready on launch

JSON-LD schema for MedicalClinic, Physician, and FAQPage entities is applied at build, not later. Your site is readable by ChatGPT and Google AI from the day it goes live.

You own everything

All files, databases, and content are transferred to your hosting on launch day. No proprietary platform dependency. If you ever leave, everything comes with you.

Common questions

What practices ask before
starting a website project

Which CMS do you recommend for most practices?
WordPress with Elementor Pro for the vast majority of single-location and small multi-location practices. It gives full SEO control, complete schema flexibility, a drag-and-drop editor your staff can use without a developer, and a plugin ecosystem that covers every healthcare integration we have encountered. The CMS comparison table above walks through when each alternative makes sense.
How long does a new website take to build?
Most standard websites go live in 2 to 4 weeks from kick-off. Larger multi-location or custom-build projects are scoped individually. The biggest factor in timeline is how quickly content and photos come through on your side. We deliver a content checklist in Phase 1 so there are no surprises mid-project and no delays waiting on us.
Can you redesign my existing site without losing my Google rankings?
Yes, with careful URL mapping and redirects. Before any migration, we crawl your existing site, document all indexed URLs and their current ranking positions, and build a redirect map that preserves link equity. We also monitor Search Console closely in the 30 days post-launch and fix any unexpected ranking drops immediately.
Do you handle hosting?
We can recommend and configure hosting on your behalf. For WordPress, we recommend managed WordPress hosting on WP Engine, Kinsta, or SiteGround depending on your budget and traffic volume. You own the hosting account directly, not us. We configure it, but the account and billing are yours.
Will my team be able to update the website after launch?
Yes. Every project includes a recorded CMS training walkthrough covering how to update page content, add blog posts, change team member bios, update business hours, and add new photos. For WordPress with Elementor Pro, most content edits take under five minutes with no technical background required.
