Patients choose a clinic or a health product on its website, often on a phone and often worried. We design healthcare websites and portals that are clear, accessible and fast, make booking easy and handle patient information properly.

Common Questions About Healthcare Web Design
What does Northell Design include in healthcare web design?
Research and content planning, UX and visual design, development on a CMS your team can edit, online booking and forms, patient portals where needed, accessibility and performance work, and launch support.
Are Northell Design's healthcare websites accessible?
Yes. We design and test to WCAG 2.1 AA, including keyboard and screen reader support, contrast, readable typography and plain language.
How does Northell Design handle patient information on a website?
Forms that collect health information use HIPAA-compliant services with a business associate agreement where required, and we avoid sending PHI to analytics or advertising tools.
Can you integrate online booking with our practice system?
Yes, where your scheduling or practice management system offers an API or a booking widget, so appointments land directly in your calendar.
Will we be able to update the website ourselves?
Yes. We build on a CMS with structured content for services, locations and clinicians, and train your team to use it.
Do you help with SEO for healthcare websites?
Yes: technical SEO, fast performance, structured data for services and locations, and redirects to protect existing rankings during a redesign.
How long does a healthcare website project take?
Typically a few months, depending on the number of pages, integrations and approvals. We confirm after the content audit.
