Healthcare providers make life-and-death decisions for their patients. And, every patient makes themselves vulnerable (financially with their health insurance and physically with their medical team) with every interaction.<\/p>\n<p>The personal stakes can&#8217;t get any higher.<\/p>\n<p>So, building a foundation of competence, credibility, and trustworthiness is essential for every business in the healthcare industry.<\/p>\n<p>And, as the primary online ambassador for any healthcare business and a core part of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdspring.com\/blog\/brand-identity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">brand identity<\/a>, if your website fails to inspire trust, you will lose customers.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t take our word for this. <strong>Seventy-five percent of people <a href=\"https:\/\/credibility.stanford.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">judge the credibility of a business based on its website<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>People may judge healthcare businesses even more harshly because the potential stakes are so high.<\/p>\n<p>Due to weak website design, don&#8217;t lose business &#8211; or, more importantly, the chance to help patients in need.<\/p>\n<h2>Here are 8 tips for making your healthcare <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdspring.com\/website-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website design<\/a> more credible and trustworthy.<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Keep your healthcare website patient-centric<\/h3>\n<p>Patients &#8211; <em>people<\/em> &#8211; are the lifeblood of the healthcare industry.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why your website must be designed with your patients in mind.<\/p>\n<p>If patients or prospective patients can&#8217;t find what they need easily, then your website has failed in its sole purpose. And you&#8217;ve likely lost a customer.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Avoid healthcare industry jargon<\/h3>\n<p>The healthcare industry is complex. And the language spoken among healthcare professionals is equally complex.<\/p>\n<p>But, on your website, it&#8217;s important to keep the language simple and easy for patients and prospective patients to understand.<\/p>\n<p>To make your website accessible, double-check all of your website copy from a layman&#8217;s perspective.<\/p>\n<p>Will the average patient understand what you&#8217;ve written? If not, revise your copy until it&#8217;s clear, easy to understand, and free of baffling industry terminology.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"subscription-hero-snippet image-on-left\" style=\"background: #161C4A\"><div class=\"title centered\">Want a free brand review?<\/div><div class=\"main-content\"><div class=\"image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.crowdspring.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/09131004\/brand-identity-grader-blog-cta-hero.png\" alt=\"brand identity grader hero\"\/><\/div><div class=\"form-wrapper\"><div class=\"subtitle\">Answer 5 short questions and we will send a custom report with actionable insights and specific actions you can take to build a stronger brand.<\/div><div>\n<script>\nfunction submitForm_drip_form(oFormElement) {\n  var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();\n  xhr.onload = function() { \n    if (xhr.status == 200 || xhr.status == 202) {\n      var formEl = document.getElementById(\"drip_form\");\n      var doneEl = document.getElementById(\"done_drip_form\");\n      formEl.style = \"display: none\";\n      doneEl.style = \"display: block\";\n    } else {\n      alert(xhr.responseText);\n    }\n  }\n  var formData = new FormData(oFormElement);\n  grecaptcha.execute(\"6LcyQTUpAAAAAC5ZPtCYQzRWKR732_LmqInv9YSK\", { action: \"external_bumblebee_lead\" }).then((token) => {\n    formData.set(\"recaptcha_token\", token);\n    xhr.open(oFormElement.method, oFormElement.action, true);\n    xhr.setRequestHeader(\"x-frontendurl\", window.location.href);\n    xhr.send(formData);\n  });\n\n  return false;\n  }\n<\/script>\n<div id=\"done_drip_form\" class=\"done\">\n      <div class=\"success-title\">\n        <i class=\"fa fa-check-circle\"><\/i><br\/> We just emailed the info to you.\n      <\/div><\/div><form id=\"drip_form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.crowdspring.com\/api\/v1\/bb\/external_leads\/\" method=\"post\" onsubmit=\"return submitForm_drip_form(this);\">\n      <div class=\"form-group\">\n        <input type=\"email\" name=\"email\" class=\"form-control\" id=\"mce-EMAIL\" required=\"true\"\/>\n        <label html_for=\"mce-EMAIL\" class=\"form-label\">Email Address<\/label>\n      <\/div> \n      <div style=\"position: absolute; left: -5000px\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t<input type=\"text\" value=\"brand-identity-grader-landing-page\" tabindex=\"-1\" name=\"tags\" readonly=\"true\"\/>\n        <input type=\"text\" value=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" name=\"add_country_tier_suffix\" readonly=\"true\"\/>\n      <\/div><input type=\"submit\" value=\"I want a stronger brand!\" class=\"btn btn-primary\" \/><p class=\"notice\"> <\/form><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<h3>3. Make it easy for people to contact you<\/h3>\n<p>Many people will visit your website to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medesk.net\/en\/blog\/how-to-schedule-patients-effectively\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">schedule a visit<\/a>. Or perhaps they have questions about their insurance. Or they may want to speak with their doctor. But whatever the reason for their visit, the next step is likely to give you a call.<\/p>\n<p>So, <em>make it easy for people to find your contact information<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Display contact info clearly on every page so patients can easily reach you when ready. Making contact information easy to find shows your willingness to interact with your patients &#8211; and that you care.<\/p>\n<p>And be sure that the business name under which your company operates its healthcare business is accurate and not confusing.<\/p>\n<p>Many healthcare businesses incorporate under one name but operate under an assumed name. If you do this, you must register a &#8220;Doing Business As&#8221; name with your state and\/or local governments.

The most important web pages should be easy to find. The Mayo Clinic does a fantastic job of this on its homepage (shown above).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro-tip:<\/strong> Use Google Analytics to determine which website pages receive the most traffic.

Design your healthcare website for fast load speeds<\/h3>\n<p>A web page that takes too long to load is one that no one will ever see.<\/p>\n<p>As we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdspring.com\/blog\/simple-website-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">emphasized<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Did you know that viewers start abandoning your website after mere seconds of load time?<\/p>\n<p>Between seconds 4 and 5 of your website\u2019s load time, 20% of viewers have already left your site.

That&#8217;s just over one-quarter of Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Add those sick and stressed due to a family member&#8217;s injury or illness&#8230; Many of your website visitors will be experiencing an impairment of some kind. And your website design must enable these users can get what they need.<\/p>\n<p>Accessible web design ensures that everyone visiting your website can navigate it successfully. And it shows that your healthcare business knows and cares about its audience.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind the following accessibility tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use higher contrast ratios to improve visibility.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid designs that rely too heavily on color &#8211; or the color-blind may be left behind.<\/li>\n<li>Use a consistent navigation scheme for ease of use.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure your website can be navigated using a mouse <em>or<\/em> a keyboard.<\/li>\n<li>Use responsive design to adapt to whatever type of screen your visitor is using.<\/li>\n<li>Use plenty of white space to make your website easy to read.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more detailed guidance on web-accessible design, read <a href=\"https:\/\/webaccess.berkeley.edu\/resources\/tips\/web-accessibility\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this article<\/a> from UC Berkeley.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Your healthcare website must be HIPAA compliant<\/h3>\n<p>As you know, in the U.S. healthcare system, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadsquared.com\/industries\/healthcare\/hipaa-compliance-meaning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HIPAA (aka the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliance<\/a> governs much of what healthcare companies do.<\/p>\n<p>And many of today&#8217;s patients are also aware of HIPAA. So, if your website isn&#8217;t HIPAA compliant, you risk appearing wildly unprofessional (at a minimum), paying expensive fines, or even doing jail time (at a maximum).<\/p>\n<p>So, what does a HIPAA-compliant web design look like?<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few guidelines to get you started.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your website must protect patient data. All files, data storage, and data transmissions must be SSL encrypted. This ensures that the data is protected, whether it&#8217;s traveling to or from your website or being stored there.<\/li>\n<li>Electronically protected health information (ePHI) should not appear anywhere on your website. This includes testimonials, case studies, or web copy.<\/li>\n<li>Protect the data collected by contact forms. Does your website encourage new patients to fill out a form to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getweave.com\/weave-online-scheduling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">schedule an appointment<\/a>? Even simple contact info (name, email, and phone number) should be encrypted. Using <a href=\"https:\/\/blocksurvey.io\/hipaa-compliant-tools\/hipaa-compliant-forms-and-surveys\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HIPAA-compliant data collection tools<\/a> ensures that patient information gathered through your forms is securely handled, helping you easily meet compliance requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/hipaa\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">learn more about HIPAA website compliance here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Create a unique website design that inspires trust<\/h3>\n<p>As we&#8217;ve mentioned, patients trust the healthcare industry with their well-being. And that&#8217;s an intimate level of trust.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s hard to trust a business with your health if its website is full of typos or has poor design.<\/p>\n<p>If your site uses a template and looks like thousands of other healthcare sites, your patience and prospective patients won&#8217;t be able to differentiate you from your many competitors.<\/p>\n<p>This also\u00a0<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">applies to elements of your brand identity, including your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdspring.com\/naming-a-business-or-product\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">business name<\/a> and\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdspring.com\/logo-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">logo<\/a>. Be sure both are unique and not generic if you want to stand out in a crowded healthcare market.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no room for error in your copy, coding, or design. Failure to pay attention to details like these will drive visitors away.<\/p>\n<p>As we emphasized in our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdspring.com\/blog\/starting-a-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">starting a business<\/a>,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Your website is one of your new business\u2019s most important ambassadors and a crucial component of your marketing and branding strategy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is equally true for an existing business.\u00a0It&#8217;s too easy for people to transfer that lack of attention to detail on your website to the healthcare or health insurance tasks that matter so profoundly to your patients.<\/p>\n<p>So, when building or updating your website, be sure to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Proofread your web copy for grammatical, spelling, and informational errors.<\/li>\n<li>Get a professional to design your website. Avoid website builders and generic website templates (even if they&#8217;re free).<\/li>\n<li>Test your website for functional errors. Ensure all links and forms are working as they should.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Review your website with the same critical eye you would apply to a patient&#8217;s chart or insurance paperwork. If you don&#8217;t find the errors, potential patients will.<\/p>\n<p>No detail is too small.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">And don&#8217;t be deterred by the price of custom website design. Some healthcare business owners worry that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdspring.com\/cost-of-design\/website-design-cost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"s1\">cost of website design<\/span><\/a> can be prohibitively high.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Many design companies and agencies indeed charge thousands of dollars for their services. But this isn&#8217;t universally true (crowdspring&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdspring.com\/website-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"s1\">custom website design<\/span><\/a> projects start at just $899, including all fees).<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-post-snippet\"><div class=\"intro\">TELL ME MORE!<\/div><h3 class=\"title\">Interested in the latest website design trends?<\/h3><div class=\"related-post-content\"><\/p>\n<p>Web design never stops evolving.
