FAQ About Hospital Web Design
What is web design and why is it important to hospital marketing?
Web design comprises a lot more than just standing up a .com for your hospital. A comprehensive approach to web design will consider your end-user, first and foremost, including the information they need and the different ways they will go about getting to it. Are they on mobile devices? Using search engines? Coming from ads? The structure, content, and even technical coding of a website should all tie back to your hospital’s broader digital marketing objectives, and the two should be very much in lock step. Otherwise, recognizing and measuring success—and making improvements as a result—will be inefficient at best.
What goes into a web design project?
This will depend on the objective of the project, to be frank. Generally speaking, we take hospital groups from start to finish, including a discovery and scoping phase, in which we make a plan of attack for things like site structure, content, branding, SEO, and any integrations that might be necessary. In addition, we’ll identify KPIs and how we’re going to measure them once the new site is live. Your project will also include a testing phase of the new site before we launch, as well as close monitoring and adjustment afterward (and as needed).
How will you measure the success of our hospital web design project?
Generally, our KPIs fall into a couple of distinct buckets that sometimes overlap:
– SEO, including organic website traffic, keywords, and backlinks
– Conversions, including downloads, form-fills, appointments, and contact requests
– Engagement, such as top pages, click through, click paths, and heat mapping
How long will it take to get my new website up and running?
Quick page refreshes, or spinning up new landing pages, can take a week or less. On the other hand, more comprehensive web design projects can take a couple months to thoroughly plan, execute, test, and report on. What we can tell you quite confidently is that we will give you an accurate timeline during discovery and scoping that you can rely and plan around.
Why not just hire a freelance web designer?
Don’t get us wrong: freelancers are great. However, for the needs of a larger-scale web design project, a dedicated marketing agency has specialists capable of executing everything required during a comprehensive website project: coding, graphic design, user experience, copywriting, SEO, content strategy, project management. Finding all of these skills in a single freelancer is difficult at best.

At its core, healthcare is about taking care of the patient. While long ago a patient’s experience likely involved a telephone and an in-person appointment, things are far different nowadays. Most patients begin their journey online. Some of those journeys end online, too. In a recent consumer healthcare survey, 81% of patients reported that they read reviews about doctors even with a referral, and 63% choose their providers based on a strong online presence. When it’s time to make an appointment, nearly 50% prefer to make their request through some digital channel, further underscoring the significant shift in preference toward digital experiences.
