Medical Practice Web Design
I design and build websites for medical and dental practices in Fresno, Clovis and Madera. Your site answers the questions your front desk gets all day, makes it easy for other doctors to refer to you, and never holds patient information, so there's nothing on it to breach.
Every practice needs something different, so let's talk. Tell me what you need and I'll make the price work, so the site earns back what it costs. You own the site and the domain.

A website that never holds patient data
Most practice websites get into HIPAA trouble through a contact form. A patient types their symptoms into it, and the message lands in an ordinary inbox or spreadsheet. The sites I build have no forms that ask about health. Patients call or text the office, or use the intake and booking tools your practice already runs. If the website never receives patient information, a hacked or misconfigured website has none to expose.
This is how I build sites, not legal advice. Your compliance lead or attorney has the final say.
Where online intake and booking go
If you take intake forms or appointments online, the site links to the HIPAA-compliant service you already use, such as Jotform HIPAA, FormDr or your EHR's patient portal. That vendor signs the Business Associate Agreement with you, and patient information stays on its system.
No ad-tracking pixels
Ad pixels can pass what a visitor looked at on your site to Facebook or Google. On a practice's site, that can include which condition they read about. The medical sites I build don't have them.
Answers to the calls your front desk gets most
Most calls to a practice ask the same three things. I put each answer on the site in plain words, so fewer of those calls reach your front desk and your staff spend that time on the patients in front of them.
- Insurance: the plans you take, by name, and what to do if a plan isn't listed.
- New patients: whether you're taking them, and whether they need a referral first.
- Booking: your booking link or phone number, plus registration forms patients can print and fill in at home.
Make it easy for other doctors to refer to you
A referring office wants to know where to send a referral, what to include, and whether you take the patient's plan. I build a page just for them that answers all three, with printable forms, so their staff don't have to call yours to ask. Dr. Masood says referrals from other doctors are up more than 40% since his new site went live.
Accessible to every patient
Many patients are older, have low vision, or use a screen reader. I build every page to WCAG 2.1 AA, so they can read it without zooming, use it with a keyboard alone, and find the phone number without help. That matters for your liability too: website accessibility lawsuits are common in California, and the overlay widgets some sites add don't fix the page underneath. I fix the page itself.
Patient reviews, within HIPAA and FTC rules
The review request I set up goes to every patient after a visit, not only the happy ones. Asking only patients you expect to be pleased is review gating, which the FTC treats as deceptive. Replies are the other risk: confirming that a reviewer is your patient discloses health information, and HHS has fined practices for it. Every practice gets a reply template that never confirms or denies who is a patient.

The problem: The old forms asked patients for health details a website shouldn't be holding.
What I built:
- Zero patient data collected online
- Printable registration & direct referral routing
- Accessible guides patients actually understand
- English + Español
- Provider referrals, by Dr. Masood's count
- +40%
- Google PageSpeed
- 100/100
“HIPAA was my big worry. Most web people I talked to didn't really know what it meant for a website. Adam did. Our site doesn't collect any patient information, it looks professional, and referrals from other doctors are up more than 40%.”
Questions practices ask
Does our practice need a BAA with its web designer?
Usually not for a site built this way, because it never receives patient information. The Business Associate Agreement belongs with the service that does: your online intake form or patient portal.
Can patients book through the scheduling system we already use?
Yes, if it gives you a booking link or an embed, as Zocdoc, NexHealth and most patient portals do. I put it on the site. I don't build custom EHR integrations.
What does a medical practice website cost?
It depends on what your practice needs. A few clear pages for patients and referring offices cost far less than a site with online booking and a Spanish version. Tell me what you need and I'll give you a price that works for your practice before you commit to anything. You own the code and the domain from day one.
Let's talk about your practice's website
You'll talk to the person who builds the site, not an account manager. Tell me what your front desk gets asked most and I'll tell you what I'd put on the site.
