Trusted technology for healthcare & life sciences

From a HIPAA-bound therapy platform to a clinical research nonprofit that speaks to patients and scientists alike, we've built the real thing, not the theory.

Tell us about your platform, your compliance needs, and where you're stuck.

We know healthcare and life sciences.

Years of work in both spaces have taught us where the complexity lives. In healthcare, that's HIPAA: sometimes we avoid protected health information by design, other times we build the HIPAA-compliant product itself. In life sciences, it's usually in an audience split: patients and the general public need something very different from researchers and clinical professionals, often on the very same site.

That's the kind of complexity our clients trust us to get right.

Services built for the stakes involved

In healthcare and life sciences, the small stuff is the big stuff. Every service below reflects that.

Custom website design & development

Every visitor is trying to accomplish something specific: find a provider, understand a treatment, evaluate research, connect with support, or learn. We design and build around that, not around a template.

Branding & Collateral

Healthcare and life sciences organizations earn trust slowly and lose it fast. We help refine your visual identity and messaging so it holds up across every touchpoint, web and print alike. 

Web Traffic & SEO Reporting

Patients searching for care and researchers evaluating your work don't search or convert the same way. We track the differences and use that knowledge to sharpen your SEO strategy, rather than just reporting a traffic number that doesn't tell you anything.

Content Strategy

The wrong claim in a blog post or the wrong tone in a patient email can cost trust or draw regulatory attention. We write with real clinical experience on the team, not just a style guide.

Social Media

Healthcare social media comes with real stakes: patient privacy in public comments, HIPAA-aware community management, and messaging that builds trust. We help you show up online without that becoming a liability.

What comes with a custom build

Every organization's needs are different. Here's what tends to matter most for healthcare and life sciences.

  • Accessibility

    Your audience includes people with a wide range of abilities, so accessibility isn't optional. We build to the latest WCAG standards and work directly with your compliance team to get there.

  • HIPAA Compliance

    Sometimes that means keeping PHI off your website entirely. Other times, it means building the HIPAA-compliant product itself, with your compliance team involved at every step.

  • Fine-tuned UX & Information Architecture

    Patients, providers, researchers, and clinicians don't navigate a site the same way. We design distinct journeys for each, rather than a single generic path that serves no one especially well.

  • Fast & Secure Performance

    Speed and security are SEO factors, but they matter more to a patient trying to book an appointment or a researcher trying to find real data fast. Our builds are quick, reliable, and easy to maintain. 

  • Mobile-First Design

    Most healthcare and life sciences searches now start on a phone. We design for the smallest screen first, so nothing important gets lost as it scales up.

  • GDPR Compliance

    We design with GDPR's core principles in mind from the start, though full compliance also depends on your own data handling and consent practices. We'll help you understand where those responsibilities meet.

  • Location & Provider Directory

    A searchable, easy-to-update directory that accounts for every location, provider, and service you offer, not just the ones that fit neatly into a template.

  • Custom AI Chatbot

    Built with real limits: no diagnosing, no storing PHI, no giving medical advice. Just fast, accurate answers to the questions your team answers a hundred times a day.

  • Online Booking

    Whether you use traditional scheduling or an AI-assisted option, booking should be one of the easiest things on your site, not the most frustrating.

  • Interactive Maps

    For organizations with multiple locations or service areas, a searchable, sortable map that shows people what's available where, beyond the pin on a page.

  • Online Bill Pay

    Payments integrated with the platforms you already use, so patients or clients aren't stuck navigating a separate, clunky system.

  • Easy-to-Use Content Management

    A CMS that doesn’t require a developer every time your team needs to change something small.
