Websites, Booking & AI Intake
Your website should book patients at 11pm.
Most practice websites are brochures with a phone number. We build fast, mobile-first sites with online booking, reminders, and an intake assistant, so interest turns into an appointment without phone tag, even after hours.
- Native online booking with reminders
- An intake assistant that answers and routes 24/7
- Sub-2-second mobile load target, privacy by design

| Speed | Bloated plugins, slow load times | Optimized for sub-2-second loads on mobile and desktop |
| Lead capture | Static contact form buried in the footer | AI chatbot that qualifies and routes patient inquiries in real time |

Questions before you book
Do we have to replace our current website?
Not necessarily. Some practices need a full rebuild; others just need online booking, an intake assistant, or a faster set of key pages added to what they have. The audit tells you which.
Will it work with our scheduling system or EHR?
We commonly integrate with leading EHR and practice-management platforms. We confirm the specifics for your system during discovery, before any build begins.
How long does a healthcare website build take?
Most solo practice and specialist websites take 6 to 10 weeks from discovery to launch. Hospital-wide patient portals with custom EHR and scheduling integrations typically take 10 to 16 weeks, depending on the number of systems we connect to.
Can you integrate with our existing EHR/practice management system and CRM?
Yes. We commonly integrate with leading EHR and practice-management platforms so patient data and lead information flow directly into your existing workflows instead of creating a second system to manage.
Do you build AI chatbots for patient triage and intake?
Yes. Our chatbots qualify inbound inquiries by symptom category, insurance, and urgency, answer common questions, and route urgent cases to staff. They are configured per practice, not a generic off-the-shelf script.
How do you handle HIPAA and patient data privacy in the build?
We design intake forms, chatbots, and scheduling flows with privacy-by-design principles and coordinate directly with your compliance team on data handling, hosting, and business associate agreements.
Do you redesign existing sites or only build new ones?
Both. Many clients start with a full redesign of an outdated practice or hospital site; others ask us to add online scheduling, a chatbot, or a patient-portal layer to a site they already have.
