Healthcare Website Design Services: FAQs

How do you ensure a healthcare website is HIPAA-compliant?

We build HIPAA compliance into every healthcare site from day one. Here’s what we do as part of our security setup:

  • We encrypt every connection with SSL/TLS.
  • We require multi-factor authentication to access the backend.
  • We enforce strict password policies.
  • We encrypt data at rest and in transit.
  • We configure analytics and tracking tools to meet HIPAA requirements, since tools like Google Analytics can expose protected health information if not set up correctly.

After launch, we keep patching and monitoring for vulnerabilities. And we sign Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) when they’re needed, so everyone’s compliance responsibilities are clear.

Which CMS is better for hospital systems: Drupal or WordPress?

The right CMS depends on your hospital system’s size, needs, and resources. We usually recommend Drupal for large, complex healthcare organizations; it handles advanced customization and heavy traffic well, and it has strong built-in security. WordPress works better if your priority is ease of use for your content team.

How do you integrate Epic EHR into a patient portal? 

We connect your website to Epic via a secure, real-time integration rather than storing patient data on your site. Our team builds these connections for electronic health records (EHR), customer relationship management (CRM) tools, and patient portals. The site pulls data from Epic, shows it to the user, and sends updates back, all without saving protected health information to your website’s database. We work with your team to ensure the integration is secure and functions as intended.

How much does it cost to design a medical website?

Cost depends on your organization’s needs. A few things drive the price:

  • A brand-new build costs more than a design refresh.
  • Custom functionality, such as EHR integrations or patient portals, expands the scope.
  • Ongoing maintenance adds to the total over time.

We can give you a real number once we know what you need.

Which medical website builders are HIPAA-compliant?

No website builder is HIPAA-compliant right out of the box. Compliance comes from how the site is built, hosted, and maintained, not from the software itself. We skip rigid, templated builders and instead build on open-source systems like Drupal or WordPress. Then we configure them for compliance:

  • We encrypt data both at rest and in transit.
  • We lock down access with strict user controls.
  • We host on secure, compliant infrastructure.
  • We monitor for vulnerabilities on an ongoing basis.
  • We sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA).

We also don’t store protected health information on the site. We connect securely to your existing systems instead, so patient data never has to live in your website’s database.
