Your Trial Sits at 40% Enrollment While Q4 Milestones Slip

If you're a clinical operations lead watching screen-fail rates climb past 65%, you need a recruitment system that pre-qualifies before the phone rings.

We build high-performance clinical trial websites that speed up patient recruitment, maintain regulatory compliance, and connect with your existing CTMS infrastructure.

What Clinical Trial Website Development Actually Delivers -- And What Generic Healthcare Sites Can't

A qualified patient lands on your trial page. They tap through a branching screener that checks inclusion criteria in real-time. The system routes them to the nearest participating site, surfaces a video consent explainer, captures their eSignature with a 21 CFR Part 11 audit trail, and syncs everything to your CTMS before your site coordinator even opens Slack. That's clinical trial website development -- the engineering discipline that turns recruitment media spend into enrolled participants. Your stack handles patient screening, informed consent workflows, site finder geolocation, and bi-directional data exchange with Medidata, Veeva, or Oracle Clinical. Unlike generic healthcare sites, your platform must satisfy FDA, HIPAA, and ICH-GCP requirements while converting visitors into protocol-qualified enrollees. Every month of delayed recruitment burns $600K to $8M depending on therapeutic area. Your site is either accelerating enrollment or quietly costing you the trial timeline.

What is holding your current website back?

Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.

Patient recruitment timelines are slipping because your trial website performs poorly on mobile
Risk: Each month of delayed enrollment costs $600K–$8M depending on therapeutic area.
Your current site lacks structured eligibility screeners, so call centers end up fielding unqualified leads
Risk: 80% of screener calls are wasted on ineligible patients, burning through budget and staff time.
Consent forms are static PDFs with no audit trail
Risk: FDA auditors flag missing documentation under 21 CFR Part 11, which puts trial validity at risk.
The site finder is broken or outdated, routing patients to closed locations
Risk: Qualified candidates abandon enrollment the moment they can't find a nearby participating site.
Every protocol amendment requires a developer to update the site
Risk: Delays in refreshing eligibility criteria or site information create real compliance exposure.
There's no visibility into where patients drop off in the enrollment funnel
Risk: Recruitment media spend continues with no data on what's actually working.

How We Build This Right

Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.

HIPAA-Compliant Architecture

All patient data is encrypted at rest and in transit using BAA-covered infrastructure. No PHI touches client-side storage or third-party analytics.

21 CFR Part 11 Audit Trails

Electronic signatures and consent workflows generate timestamped, immutable audit logs. Every interaction is traceable and ready for FDA inspection.

Accessible by Default (WCAG 2.2 AA)

Clinical trial sites need to reach diverse populations, including people with disabilities. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA from day one -- not as an afterthought.

Multi-Language Support

Locale-aware content delivery helps you reach patients across demographics and geographies. CMS-driven translations ensure protocol amendments push across all languages at once.

Real-Time Enrollment Analytics

Privacy-respecting analytics show exactly where patients exit the screening funnel. You get clear data to guide recruitment spend -- without touching PHI.

Edge-Deployed Performance

Sites load in under 2 seconds globally via edge CDN. That speed directly improves screener completion rates, particularly on mobile in underserved areas.

What We Build

Purpose-built features for your industry.

Route unqualified leads into branching screeners that check inclusion/exclusion criteria before they ever reach your call center

Branching logic questionnaires pre-qualify patients against your protocol before site staff waste time on ineligible calls

Geocoded site search with real-time availability updates drives qualified candidates to the nearest open location with one tap

Fix broken site finders that route patients to closed locations or outdated contact information

Bi-directional API connections sync patient data between your trial site and Medidata, Veeva, or Oracle Clinical without manual entry

Eliminate developer bottlenecks every time a protocol amendment requires updated eligibility language or new site listings

Headless CMS lets your clinical operations team update criteria, site info, and study materials the moment protocols change -- no code required

Stop running recruitment media campaigns with zero visibility into where patients abandon the enrollment funnel

eConsent engine delivers multimedia explainers, comprehension checks, electronic signatures, and full 21 CFR Part 11 audit trails in one workflow

Our Development Process

From discovery to launch. Quality at every step.

01

Protocol & Compliance Review

Week 1

We review your study protocol, ICF requirements, and existing CTMS stack. Eligibility criteria get mapped into screener logic, and we identify every compliance requirement upfront.

02

UX Research & Architecture

Week 2–3

Patient journey mapping, site architecture, and wireframes come next. We validate screener UX against real patient personas and build accessibility compliance in from the start.

03

Design & Development Sprint

Week 4–7

High-fidelity designs move into production Next.js code. CTMS integrations are built and tested in staging. The headless CMS gets configured for your clinical ops team.

04

Compliance QA & Penetration Testing

Week 8

We run a HIPAA security assessment, WCAG 2.2 AA audit, 21 CFR Part 11 validation, and third-party penetration testing. All findings are documented for your regulatory files.

05

Launch & Recruitment Optimization

Week 9–12

Deployment goes to edge infrastructure with full monitoring. You get 30 days of post-launch support, including screener funnel optimization based on live enrollment data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most clinical trial sites launch in 8–12 weeks, depending on CTMS integration complexity and the number of eligibility screeners needed. Simple single-study sites without eConsent can ship in 6 weeks. Multi-study sponsor platforms with EDC integrations typically run 10–14 weeks.
Yes. We've built integrations with Medidata Rave, Veeva Vault, Oracle Clinical, and Medrio. If your CTMS exposes a REST or SOAP API, we can connect it. We handle authentication, data mapping, and error handling so patient data flows directly into your trial management system — no manual re-entry.
Every site we build is HIPAA compliant by architecture. We use BAA-covered hosting, encrypt all PHI at rest and in transit, enforce role-based access controls, and provide complete audit logs. HIPAA compliance documentation is delivered with the site at launch.
We build eConsent workflows that meet 21 CFR Part 11 requirements — identity verification, timestamped audit trails, multimedia educational content, comprehension checks, and legally binding electronic signatures. The full consent process is documented and exportable for FDA inspection.
Yes. We build on headless CMS platforms like Sanity, so your team can update eligibility criteria, site locations, study materials, and page content through a visual editor. Changes publish immediately across all languages. No developer tickets, no delays when protocols change.
We instrument every step of the enrollment funnel with privacy-respecting analytics — screener completion rates, site finder usage, consent drop-off points. Post-launch, we run A/B tests on screener UX, landing page copy, and CTA placement to keep improving qualified enrollment volume.
