Are you HIPAA-compliant?

We design websites that can operate within HIPAA, PIPEDA, PHIPA, GDPR, and Quebec's Law 25 — depending on your jurisdiction. HIPAA itself applies to covered entities and business associates; we sign Business Associate Agreements where the engagement requires it. Hosting on Cloudflare Workers and AWS configured for HIPAA, with encrypted transit and at-rest, audit logging, and access controls.

What's the difference between a dental website and a medical center website?

A dental website is typically single-specialty with 1–3 clinicians. A medical center website handles multi-specialty navigation (cardiology, dermatology, pediatrics, imaging, etc.), separate booking flows per specialty, often a diagnostic-imaging or lab-results integration, and more rigorous accessibility requirements. The architecture is bigger.

How long does a medical center website take?

12–20 weeks for a typical multi-specialty clinic. 20–32 weeks for a hospital-adjacent center with EHR/EMR integration, patient portal, and multiple sub-domains. We don't try to compress this — medical compliance audits add real time.

Can you integrate with our EHR/EMR?

Yes — we've integrated with Epic, Cerner, Allscripts, MEDITECH, and various regional systems via FHIR APIs. Patient portals, appointment booking, prescription refill requests, and lab results delivery are all doable. Integration timing depends on the EHR vendor's support — not always under our control.

What about multilingual content?

Yes, this is one of our core strengths. EN/FR for Quebec, EN/ES for North American Spanish-speaking populations, EN/RU/UK for diaspora communities, EN/DE for Switzerland and Austria, EN/AR for Gulf-region medical tourism. All with proper hreflang, locale-specific clinician bios, and language-aware booking flows.

Medical center website development

Why medical websites need their own playbook

A medical center site is the most regulated, the most heavily-trafficked-by-anxious-readers, and the most accessibility-sensitive site we build. It also has the highest potential to harm if it gets misinformation wrong — Google's YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) rules treat medical content with the strictest scrutiny, and rightly so.

Marketing MIX, an international marketing studio with Ukrainian roots, headquartered in Ottawa and working across Canada, Ukraine, Germany, and France, has shipped medical websites across Canada, the EU, and Ukraine. We work in coordination with each clinic's medical director or compliance officer — content review is theirs, technical execution is ours.

What we build for medical centers

Multi-specialty navigation

One primary navigation, with clear paths into each specialty.
Specialty hub pages with conditions treated, procedures offered, the clinical team, and a specialty-specific booking flow.
Cross-references where appropriate (e.g., dermatology → cosmetic procedures → plastic surgery).

Clinician profiles

Person schema for every clinician (name, credentials, languages spoken, accepted insurance, specialties).
Photo, bio, training, board certifications.
Patient ratings where regulations permit collection and display.

Conditions and treatments library

A page per condition (asthma, eczema, hypertension, diabetes — whatever your center treats).
A page per major treatment or procedure.
Each marked up with MedicalCondition or MedicalProcedure schema.
Written or reviewed by a clinician, not by an SEO writer with a Wikipedia tab open.

Booking and patient flows

Specialty-aware booking — different intake for cardiology vs. pediatrics.
Insurance verification step (in markets where insurance fragmentation matters).
New-patient vs. returning-patient flows.
Reminders and rescheduling.

Patient portal (when in scope)

Secure login, MFA required.
Appointment history.
Lab results delivery.
Prescription refill requests.
Secure messaging with the clinical team.

Compliance baseline

Encryption in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest.
Access logging with retention per jurisdiction.
Consent management for cookies and data collection per GDPR / PIPEDA.
WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility.
Cookie banner and consent log.
BAA in place where HIPAA applies.

Local and AI SEO for medical

Patients increasingly ask AI assistants for medical-care recommendations before they ask Google. The work to be cited:

LocalBusiness schema with the relevant MedicalBusiness sub-type for each center and specialty.
Conditions content structured so LLMs can cite it: clear definition in first paragraph, symptoms list, when-to-see-a-doctor section, treatment options.
E-E-A-T signals on every page — author byline with credentials, last-reviewed date, sources cited.
Reviews collected and displayed with proper schema.
Citation consistency across healthcare directories (Healthgrades, RateMDs, Doctolib, Jameda).
