Your Hospital Website is Losing Patients in the Parking Lot Search
If you're running patient access for a health system, you've watched families give up after three clicks and call the competitor down the street.
We build HIPAA-compliant, high-performance hospital websites that cut call volume, get patients to the right providers faster, and connect directly with your EHR systems.
Your patient arrives at 11pm on mobile, taps through three pages, and still can't book with cardiology. Hospital website development fixes that friction -- the booking dead-ends, the inaccessible PDFs, the provider directory that hasn't updated since March. Your site becomes a triage layer: patients schedule directly from physician profiles, filter by insurance and language, access their portal with SSO, and find wait times without calling. We architect HIPAA-compliant infrastructure with WCAG 2.2 AA baked in, EHR integration that eliminates double-entry, and multi-location schema so every campus ranks locally. What this won't fix: slow internal approval cycles, incomplete provider data in your source system, or staff who refuse CMS training. Your site goes live in 60 days. After that, your team owns updates -- or every outdated phone number quietly erodes trust and SEO authority.
What is holding your current website back?
Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.
What Your Website Could Look Like
Custom-designed for your industry. No templates. No stock photos.
How We Build This Right
Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.
HIPAA-Compliant Architecture
Every data layer is encrypted at rest and in transit. We sign BAAs with all infrastructure providers and enforce zero-trust access controls across the stack.
ADA & WCAG 2.2 AA Compliance
Semantic HTML, ARIA landmarks, keyboard navigation, and screen reader compatibility are built in from day one -- not bolted on at the end. We run both automated and manual accessibility audits before every deployment.
EHR & FHIR Integration
We build direct API connections to Epic, Cerner, Allscripts, and other EHR platforms. Scheduling, provider directories, and wait times sync in real time with no manual intervention.
Structured Data for Health SEO
Every relevant page gets MedicalOrganization, Physician, and MedicalClinic schema markup. This drives rich results in Google and improves local search visibility.
Content Management for Clinical Teams
Sanity CMS is configured with role-based permissions so marketing, clinical, and compliance teams can publish independently. Approval workflows keep unauthorized content from going live.
Performance & Uptime Monitoring
Real-time dashboards track Core Web Vitals, server response times, and uptime. Automated alerts catch problems before patients run into them.

Built on a Modern, Secure Stack
Our Development Process
From discovery to launch. Quality at every step.
Discovery & Compliance Audit
Week 1-2We start by auditing your current site against HIPAA, ADA, and Core Web Vitals benchmarks. We map every integration point -- EHR, scheduling, patient portal -- and define the technical architecture before a line of code is written.
Information Architecture & UX
Week 3-4From there, we design patient journey maps for each user type: new patients, returning patients, referring physicians, and job seekers. Wireframes get validated with your clinical and marketing teams directly.
Design & Prototype
Week 5-6High-fidelity designs are built to your brand system with accessibility contrast ratios and mobile-first layouts. Stakeholders can test flows in interactive prototypes before engineering starts.
Engineering & Integration
Week 7-10On the build side, we use a Next.js front-end deployed on Vercel's edge network, Sanity CMS configured with clinical content models, and EHR and scheduling APIs connected and load-tested under real conditions.
QA, Launch & Post-Launch Support
Week 11-12Before launch, we run a full accessibility audit, penetration testing, HIPAA compliance verification, and performance benchmarking. We handle the DNS cutover, monitor the first 30 days, and train your content team on the CMS.
