Frequently Asked
How long does a healthcare website rebuild take?
Single-location practice sites run 10–14 weeks from kickoff to launch. Multi-location systems with clinician directories, procedure libraries, and location-level SEO run 16–24 weeks. Brand identity engagements add 4–8 weeks if run in parallel. We ship in phases — launch pages don’t wait for the whole site to be perfect.
Do you redesign or start from zero?
Either, depending on what’s actually underneath. Most sites we inherit have a solid content base buried under a dated design and a tangle of unmaintained plugins — those can be re-platformed in place. Sites built on proprietary agency CMSes or with nothing worth keeping are faster to ground-up rebuild than rescue.
How do you handle HIPAA on a marketing site?
Marketing sites should collect minimum-necessary information and never route PHI through third-party trackers. We use server-side tagging, HIPAA-aware form processors, and pixel-less analytics paths for any interaction that touches health data. Booking forms that request symptoms or treatment history go through integrations that sign a BAA — not Typeform or stock plugins.
Can you work with our existing brand or do you require a rebrand?
Most engagements start with an evaluation of the existing brand against the website-and-marketing demands ahead. Sometimes the brand is strong and only the web execution needs to catch up. Sometimes the brand is the ceiling and the rest of the marketing will keep underperforming until it’s refreshed. We tell you which situation you are in before you commit to the scope.
Will the site be accessible (ADA / WCAG)?
Yes. Every build targets WCAG 2.1 AA conformance — keyboard navigation, screen-reader semantics, contrast ratios, and captioned media. For practices with heightened legal exposure, we can document conformance against a VPAT/ACR and run quarterly audits.
What’s a typical budget for a healthcare website?
Single-location practice rebuilds typically run $45,000–$120,000 design and build. Multi-location systems run $120,000–$350,000+ depending on directory complexity and integrations. Brand identity work runs $25,000–$80,000. Ongoing design, CRO, and content evolution is retainer-based, usually $5,000–$15,000/month.
