Medical Website Development - Frequently Asked Questions
1. How will having a website benefit us?The World Wide Web is where most consumers and would-be patients go for information. Studies have shown that many people research their medical condition and treatment programs on the world wide web before deciding on care. By effectively marketing your website, HealthPresence ensures increased practice visibility, sending new patients your way. Further, we can help to streamline patient care & management through the use of online patient education, and downloadable patient forms. And online answers to commonly asked questions about your practice, like contact info, directions, and so on, means significantly less time spent answering repetitive questions. 2. We already have a website. Why would it need a "makeover"?Maybe your site was built a few years back and doesn't look as modern as it should. Maybe you need some content updated. Maybe you are paying too much for hosting. Most important, maybe your site needs to optimized for search engines. We can re-tool your site to better fit today's internet market with a design makeover, content overhaul and search engine optimization, all of which will will increase your site's visibility. Check out our Website Makeover Before & After examples here. If you are unsure whether your site needs a makeover, contact us and we will analyze your site and provide a free website analysis report and a listing of useful recommendations for your site. 3. How do you handle updates (maintenance) to the site?We provide reliable website maintenance: We can update your site easily and quickly -- our clients simply email their revisions to us. Alternatively, if you would like to get your hands wet and update your own site once it's created, we recommend a program called Adobe Contribute. There are other Content Management System options as well. See this page on Content Management. 4. Can HealthPresence help us with Search Engine placement?We utilize the latest search engine optimization techniques, including target-specific keywords for your site, meta tags, image alt tags and so on. We re-submit your site and monitor its ranking. We will also recommend several directories where it is worthwhile to pay for a listing. For more on our Search Engine Optimization program click here. 5. How long will it take?Once we have your materials, it takes only two to three weeks to get your site up, depending of course on the amount of material you would like place online (the size of your site). Our clients have been pleasantly surprised with our turn-around time. 6. We want a website -- how do we get started?First you'll need to deliver us the materials you would like to put online. We can start from a brochure or even a business card! Once we receive your materials we begin designing the home page. We will then post a mock home page on one of our servers where only you can see it, you provide feedback, and we proceed from there. While this is happening we are busy transferring or acquiring your domain name and setting up your server. Once your site is created and approved, we make it "live." Then we begin the search engine submission process. See Getting Started for more details. 7. Do you provide medical illustrations?Yes. HealthPresence has a staff illustrator. We have several images already on file that may be used on your site, or we can create custom illustrations just for you, at costs well below that of most medical illustrators. See our Medical Illustration page for samples. We also provide medical animations for a monthly fee. 8. How does HealthPresence compare to other medical website providers?
So if you want your very own custom-built affordable website, HealthPresence is the provider for you! Contact us today to get started. 9. Your medical sites are great, but can you help with a non-medical site?Yes, we can create, make over and maintain all kinds of sites! Non-medical sites are created under the banner of our sister company KeyPresence. 10. What if I have a question that isn't addressed here?That's easy -- contact us with any further questions you may have. We will respond promptly. We look forward to hearing from you!
