Healthcare website design for a healthtech company has two jobs. It has to make a health decision feel safe enough to start, whether the visitor is a consumer paying out of pocket, a patient checking coverage, or a benefits or health-system buyer, and it has to keep a clear line between the public marketing site and every flow that can touch patient data. The first job is solved with a first screen that answers the deciding question (price, eligibility or who the product is for), clinicians named by institution, outcomes with a stated source and a plain sentence about health data. The second is solved by keeping patient intake, portals and scheduling inside your product and its BAA-covered vendors, and keeping ad pixels away from them.

**Key takeaways**

- The best healthtech homepages we checked on 11 November 2026 answer the deciding question in the first screen: Function puts "$365 per year—$1 per day" in its hero, Headway makes its insurance search the hero, and Hinge Health gives members and buyers separate buttons side by side.
- Evidence on the strongest sites carries its source: Oura footnotes "86% of Oura Members see their health improve" to a 2026 survey of 3,501 members, Hinge Health cites a 10,000-participant study, and Levels labels its member results "Not a clinical trial".
- A June 2024 court ruling struck down the part of HHS tracking guidance about public pages, but HHS still treats logged-in pages and flows such as appointment booking or symptom entry as places where trackers can receive patient data. A B2B demo form that asks for a work email is usually not the risk, while a patient intake form on the marketing stack is.
- HHS moved the WCAG 2.1 AA deadline for organisations that receive HHS funding, which includes most hospitals, to 11 May 2027 (10 May 2028 for those with fewer than 15 employees), and those buyers will ask their software vendors the same question in procurement.

Most articles about healthcare website design are written for clinics. They talk about booking buttons, doctor bios and local SEO, and in November 2026 Google's AI Overview for the query repeated the same advice, including the line that "all intake, contact, and chat forms must securely protect patient health information". A healthtech company has a harder job. Its site has to persuade someone to hand a blood sample, a sleep record or a therapy history to a company they met five minutes ago, and often to convince an employer, a health plan or a health system to pay for it.

We design and build websites for healthtech companies. For Ocoord, an OSHA and HIPAA compliance platform for medical and dental practices, we designed the product and designed and built the marketing site. For this guide we picked nine healthtech websites whose design sets the bar in the category, from Function and Superpower to Oura and Hinge Health, checked each one live on 11 November 2026, and wrote down what each does well and where it slips. At the end we added one site of our own, ASPN Labs, marked as ours. The second half maps what compliance touches on a healthtech website, using the official sources. This is not legal advice, and where your situation depends on how your product handles patient data, your counsel should have the final word.

## Who Reads a Healthtech Website

A hospital website mostly serves patients who have already chosen the hospital, and much of its work is getting them booked. A healthtech website usually has to win the decision first, and depending on the business model it is read by three kinds of visitors, often more than one at once.

The **consumer paying out of pocket** (Function, Superpower, Oura, Levels) wants to know what they get, what it costs and whether the people behind it are credible. They are about to share blood results or biometrics with a company, so the site has to say what happens to that data in plain words, not only in a policy.

The **patient using insurance or an employer benefit** (Tia, Headway, Maven, Hinge Health) first wants to know whether they are covered. The best sites put that check at the very top: Headway's hero is a zip code and insurance search, and Maven and Hinge Health give members whose employer already pays a route of their own.

The **buyer behind the benefit or the software** (a benefits leader at an employer, a health plan, a health system's clinical and IT leads) wants outcomes with a method behind them, a security page and proof from organisations like theirs. Maven, Hinge Health and Abridge sell to this reader, and a [2026 Gartner survey](https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2026-03-09-gartner-sales-survey-finds-67-percent-of-b2b-buyers-prefer-a-rep-free-experience) found that 67% of B2B buyers prefer to buy without a sales rep, so the evidence has to be on the site rather than in a pitch deck. We cover the general B2B version of this in our guide to [B2B SaaS website design](https://www.themasterly.com/blog/b2b-saas-website-design).

## The Anatomy of a Healthtech Homepage

Across the sites below, the same parts come up again and again.

**A first screen that answers the deciding question.** For a consumer product it is the price or the product itself: Function's subhead ends with "$365 per year—$1 per day", and Oura shows the ring on a hand before any other copy. For covered care it is eligibility, and for enterprise software it is the buyer and the workflow.

**Clinicians you can look up.** Health is one of the few categories where visitors check the names behind the product. Function and Superpower list their medical boards by name and institution, and Tia says its providers work with leading health systems for specialist care.

**Evidence with a source.** A number with a survey base, a study or a named customer is worth more than a bigger number without one. Oura footnotes its headline claim to a survey of 3,501 members, Hinge Health cites a peer-reviewed study, and Abridge ties its outcomes to named health systems.

**A sentence about data where data is asked for.** The better sites say what they do with health data on the homepage, not only in a footer link. Levels writes "HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 compliant" under the hero and "Levels does not sell your personal health data" further down.

**Routes for each reader.** Navigation by need (Tia by symptom, Headway by what's on your mind), by audience (members, employers, health plans) or by role lets each reader skip what isn't for them.

**One strong image instead of a collage.** Function, Oura and Levels carry the hero with a single photograph or product shot and large type, which leaves room for the one claim that matters.

## 10 Healthtech Website Examples Worth Studying

We checked the first nine sites below live on 11 November 2026 and quote the hero as it rendered that day. Heroes change often, and several of these sites were running Black Friday or open-enrollment banners, so treat the quotes as a snapshot. The screenshots are the first screen of each homepage at 1440 pixels wide, with the cookie banner closed.

| Site | Who pays | Primary action | Trust signal on the homepage | Best pattern to take |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Function Health | Consumers (HSA/FSA eligible) | Start testing | Medical board named by institution | Price in the hero |
| Superpower | Consumers | Get Your Numbers | Named doctors, 4.5 on Trustpilot | Show the result before the sale |
| Oura | Consumers | Shop Now | Footnoted member survey, press reviews | Footnote the big claim |
| Levels | Consumers | Get your personalized plan | HIPAA and SOC 2 stated in the copy | Privacy in the copy, not the footer |
| Tia | Patients with insurance or cash | Book an appointment | Outcome stats, health-system partners | Care routed by symptom |
| Headway | Patients with insurance | Find care | Real provider cards | Search as the hero |
| Maven Clinic | Employers, health plans, members | Explore platform, Get care | 40+ peer-reviewed studies, Milliman-validated outcomes | Evidence a benefits buyer can quote |
| Hinge Health | Employers, health plans, members | Check eligibility, Request business demo | Footnoted clinical study | Two doors in one hero |
| Abridge | Health systems | Contact Us | Outcomes tied to named customers | Metrics tied to named customers |
| ASPN Labs (our client) | Consumers (memberships) | Optimization path picker | Advisor credentials, competitor comparison table | Products routed by the visitor's problem |

### 1. Function Health

![Function Health homepage hero: a person running across a hillside at dusk, the italic headline Check your health., a subhead with 160+ lab tests and $365 per year, a Start testing button and three stats: 160+ lab tests, whole body, $1 per day](https://www.themasterly.com/images/blog/healthcare-website-design/function-homepage.webp)

Function's headline is three words, "Check your health.", and the subhead does the selling: "Every year. Starting with 160+ lab tests detecting 1000+ conditions. Just $365 per year—$1 per day." Three stats close the first screen (160+ lab tests, whole body, $1 per day), and an "HSA/FSA Eligible" tag answers the payment question before anyone asks it. Further down, the medical and scientific board is listed by name and institution, including a former CEO of Cleveland Clinic and the chief of preventive medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital.

**Steal this:** if you sell to consumers, put the price in the hero and break it into a number people can hold. "$1 per day" does the work of a pricing page.

**Where it falls short:** below the hero, an animated ticker of conditions puts pancreatic cancer next to gout and mold toxicity, and it sells through worry more than through information. Function does give it a "Pause motion" control, which is the right accessibility detail for moving content.

### 2. Superpower

![Superpower homepage hero: the headline More of the Numbers that Matter beside a Superpower genome test kit and a blood tube wrapped as gifts, a Get Your Numbers button, and stats for whole body check, starting price and biomarkers analyzed](https://www.themasterly.com/images/blog/healthcare-website-design/superpower-homepage.webp)

On the day we checked, Superpower's hero was a Black Friday bundle, "More of the Numbers that Matter", with blood and genome testing "for just $299". The stats underneath are the ones that stay between promotions: "Detect 1,000+ conditions", "Starts at $199/year" and "6M+ biomarkers analyzed". The section worth studying is "How it works", which shows the product instead of describing it. Phone notifications read "84 biomarkers analyzed, 73 in the optimal range" and "Reviewed by your clinician. 2 actions for today.", so a visitor sees what the result looks like before paying for it.

**Steal this:** put the real output of your product on the marketing site, written as the notification or screen a customer actually gets.

**Where it falls short:** the doctor section leans on media credentials ("NYT Bestselling Author", appearances on The Today Show) as much as clinical ones. The headline proof, "60% of members said Superpower identified something previously missed or overlooked by a doctor", does have a source, but it sits much further down the page and turns out to be a member survey of 143 people.

### 3. Oura

![Oura homepage hero: the serif headline Wear your best life on a warm beige background, a subhead about the world's smallest smart ring, a Shop Now button, and a hand wearing the silver ring on the right](https://www.themasterly.com/images/blog/healthcare-website-design/oura-homepage.webp)

"Wear your best life" sits in a large serif on a plain, warm background next to one photograph of a hand wearing the ring, and the subhead says what the product is: "Get a clearer picture of your health with the world's smallest smart ring." The menu below splits the product by outcome (sleep, longevity, fitness, heart health, women's health, stress), and the headline proof is footnoted: "86% of Oura Members see their health improve" points to "a 2026 survey with 3,501 Oura members after using Oura Ring for 30 days". A second footnote says the Health Radar features are "intended for general wellness purposes only".

**Steal this:** footnote the big claim with its method and base, and write the regulatory line as a plain footnote rather than burying it in the terms.

**Where it falls short:** "Wear your best life" could sell almost anything worn on the body. A visitor who reads only the headline learns nothing about the product, so the subhead has to do all of the explaining.

### 4. Levels

![Levels homepage hero: a dark photograph of a kitchen, the eyebrow The most trusted name in metabolic health, the headline See how food affects your health., and a Get your personalized plan button](https://www.themasterly.com/images/blog/healthcare-website-design/levels-homepage.webp)

"See how food affects your health." states the whole promise in six words. Right under the hero, three short blocks answer a cautious visitor: "100,000+ lives changed", "The first and most trusted" and "Private, secure, and personalized", the last one with "HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 compliant". Further down the page says "Your health data belongs to you. Levels does not sell your personal health data.", and where it reports member results it labels them "Based on retrospective analysis of Levels members. Not a clinical trial. Results may vary."

**Steal this:** say what you do with health data in one sentence on the homepage, close to where you ask for it.

**Where it falls short:** the eyebrow "The most trusted name in metabolic health" has no source next to it, on a page that is careful to source everything else.

### 5. Tia

![Tia homepage hero: the serif headline The highest quality, most comprehensive care for women, five benefits with pink check marks, Book an appointment and Find a clinic near you buttons, and a photo of a Tia clinic interior with a pink arch](https://www.themasterly.com/images/blog/healthcare-website-design/tia-homepage.webp)

Tia runs women's health clinics in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Scottsdale, with virtual visits in six states. The hero leads with "The highest quality, most comprehensive care for women" and five short benefits, and the photograph shows a real clinic, which tells a visitor this is a place they can walk into. The insurance question comes straight after: "We accept most PPO insurances. See if you're in network", with a cash price list for everyone else. Further down, a symptom picker ("Experiencing any of these?") sends visitors from what they feel, such as acne or a rash, to the right service.

**Steal this:** route people by symptom rather than by your service names. Patients know what hurts, not which department treats it.

**Where it falls short:** the outcome stats need a source. the "2.5x" next to "Better prevention" and "an average wellness improvement that nearly doubles the industry standard" carry no method or base.

### 6. Headway

![Headway homepage hero: the serif headline Do it for yourself, not by yourself, a zip code and insurance search with a Find care button, a photo of a woman on a sofa, and cards of real providers below](https://www.themasterly.com/images/blog/healthcare-website-design/headway-homepage.webp)

Headway helps people find therapists and psychiatrists who take their insurance, and the hero is the product: "Do it for yourself, not by yourself" sits above a zip code field, an optional insurance picker and a "Find care" button. Below it are cards for real providers with their specialties, whether they see clients in person or online, and a line in their own words. The price promise follows: "People with insurance pay as low as $0 per session through Headway."

**Steal this:** if your product is a search, make the search the hero. A visitor who types a zip code has already started using you.

**Where it falls short:** the homepage also recruits providers, and "Join as a provider" gets the filled button in the header, which pulls a patient's eye away from the search below it.

### 7. Maven Clinic

![Maven homepage hero: the headline Evidence-based women's and family healthcare over a photo of a laughing mother with two children, Explore platform and Get care buttons, and a top banner for members whose employer offers Maven](https://www.themasterly.com/images/blog/healthcare-website-design/maven-homepage.webp)

Maven sells women's and family health benefits to employers and health plans, and their employees and members use the care. A slim banner above the navigation catches members first: "If your employer currently offers Maven, you can get started here." The headline, "Evidence-based women's and family healthcare", leads with the word a benefits buyer needs, and the page backs it up for that buyer: "Trusted by 2,300+ employers", "Backed by 40+ peer-reviewed studies on our care model" and "Milliman-validated outcomes, proven by employer and health plan claims-based studies", with results such as "Up to 27% lower NICU admissions".

**Steal this:** when the buyer and the user are different people, give the user a one-line route at the very top and spend the page on the evidence the buyer has to defend.

**Where it falls short:** several outcomes start with "up to", which reads as the best case rather than the typical one, and a CFO reviewing the benefit will notice.

### 8. Hinge Health

![Hinge Health homepage hero as captured on 11 November 2026: the headline Personalized care for a life in motion over a video of a woman dancing with headphones, and Check eligibility and Request business demo buttons](https://www.themasterly.com/images/blog/healthcare-website-design/hinge-homepage.webp)

Hinge Health sells to employers and health plans, and its members use the product. The hero we captured, "Personalized care for a life in motion", speaks to the member and then opens two doors side by side: "Check eligibility" for members and "Request business demo" for buyers. On earlier visits the headline read "Pain relief for every body", so Hinge is testing its hero, but the two doors stay. Its outcome figures carry a footnote to a 10,000-participant study of its knee and back program published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research in 2020.

**Steal this:** two doors in one hero when the user and the buyer are different people, and a footnote on every clinical claim.

**Where it falls short:** the strongest trust signal is hidden. The [security page](https://www.hingehealth.com/security/) lists HITRUST CSF r2, SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022, but you reach it through a footer link.

### 9. Abridge

![Abridge homepage hero: a photo of a smiling patient, the eyebrow Enterprise-grade AI, the headline For every moment of care, and Contact Us and Customer Stories buttons](https://www.themasterly.com/images/blog/healthcare-website-design/abridge-homepage.webp)

Abridge is the one pure enterprise software company on the list, and it shows that a site sold to health systems doesn't have to look like procurement paperwork. The hero reads "For every moment of care", and the subhead does the explaining: "One intelligence layer connecting health systems, payers, and life sciences organizations", "trusted by 300+ health systems". Further down, the page runs a wall of outcomes, and most of them carry the name of the health system that reported them, such as a "78% reduction in cognitive load".

**Steal this:** attach each outcome to a customer. An anonymous percentage reads like marketing, while a named health system reads like a reference a buyer can call.

**Where it falls short:** the homepage shows no security claim. [Abridge's trust center](https://trust.abridge.com/) lists HIPAA, SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2, CCPA and TX-RAMP and offers the SOC 2 report on request, but a reviewer has to find it first.

### 10. ASPN Labs (our client)

![ASPN Labs website on a desktop monitor: the Choose Your Optimization Path section with the NeuroPath card for brain fog, anxiety, poor sleep and mental fatigue next to BioSync](https://www.themasterly.com/images/cases/aspn-labs/5.webp)

Full disclosure: ASPN Labs is our client, and we designed the brand, the UX and the site, so here we can show why the decisions were made instead of guessing. ASPN is a US concierge health optimisation platform for executives, professional athletes and serious biohackers, with at-home diagnostics, clinician-reviewed peptide and hormone therapy and three membership tiers. When we rebuilt it, the audience had moved upmarket, so the brand moved from a high-energy fitness look to warm darks and editorial type that read like a private clinic. The site is organised by the visitor's problem rather than the catalogue: NeuroPath for brain fog, anxiety, poor sleep and mental fatigue, BioSync for fat loss, hormone balance, energy crashes and inflammation, and ASPN Apex for people who want everything. It also names the competitors an educated buyer is already weighing, Hone, Lifeforce, Hims and PeterMD, in a comparison table.

**Steal this:** if your products have names only you understand, start from the symptom or the goal and let the site lead to the product. Nobody searches for "NeuroPath", and plenty of people search for brain fog.

**Where it falls short:** some therapies need an age and identity check before purchase. We placed it inside the purchase flow so a qualified buyer verifies once and moves on, but it is still a step the consumer sites above don't have, and no design removes it from a regulated product. The full story is in the [ASPN Labs case study](https://www.themasterly.com/cases/aspn-labs).

Look across the ten and the visual choices vary less than the products do: warm photography, a large serif or soft sans headline, one clear button. What separates the best of them is the content the design makes room for, such as a price in the hero, a named doctor, a footnote or a sentence about data. If you want to avoid the look-alike problem in consumer health, we wrote about [why so many healthtech brands end up looking like Hims](https://www.themasterly.com/blog/hims-effect-healthtech-design-monoculture).

## What Compliance Touches on a Healthtech Website

The clinic-focused advice that every form must protect patient health information is too strict and too loose at once. It is too strict for a B2B demo form, and too loose because it ignores pixels, which are what the HHS guidance and the FTC cases below are about. The table below maps the main page types to the rules that matter. It describes what your site has to account for. It is not legal advice, and the answer for your company depends on whether you are a covered entity or a business associate and on what each vendor receives.

| Page or flow | What to account for | Source |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Public marketing pages (home, product, blog, pricing) | Consent for analytics and ad cookies for EU visitors. In some US states, consumer health privacy laws if consumers browse condition-specific pages. | ePrivacy Directive, Washington My Health My Data Act |
| B2B demo or contact form | Usually business contact data. Avoid free-text fields that invite patient details. | HHS definitions, GDPR Art. 9 |
| Appointment booking, symptom checker, intake or portal registration | Can expose protected health information even before login. Trackers that receive it need a BAA or patient authorization. | HHS OCR tracking guidance |
| Patient portal, telehealth or logged-in app | Trackers generally have access to PHI. BAA-covered vendors only. Cookie banners are not HIPAA authorization. | HHS OCR tracking guidance |
| Consumer health app outside HIPAA | Sharing health data with ad platforms without authorization counts as a breach. | FTC Health Breach Notification Rule |
| Everything a patient or clinician uses | WCAG 2.1 AA is the level the HHS and DOJ rules set for the organisations they cover. WCAG 2.2 AA is the sensible design target. | HHS Section 504 rule, DOJ guidance, W3C |

### HIPAA and tracking technologies

In December 2022 the HHS Office for Civil Rights published a bulletin on tracking technologies such as pixels and analytics scripts, and updated it in March 2024. On 20 June 2024 a federal court in Texas, in *American Hospital Association v. Becerra*, vacated the part of the guidance that said HIPAA applies when a tracker links an IP address to a visit to a public, unauthenticated page about a health condition or provider. The [HHS bulletin](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance/hipaa-online-tracking/index.html) now carries a notice about the ruling at the top.

The rest of the bulletin still applies. On pages that require a login, such as a patient portal or a telehealth platform, HHS says trackers "generally" have access to protected health information. HHS also gives appointment booking and symptom entry as examples of flows that can expose it. When a covered entity or business associate discloses protected health information to a tracking vendor, the disclosure has to be permitted, which in practice means a business associate agreement with that vendor or the patient's authorization, and HHS says plainly that a cookie banner asking visitors to accept tracking is not a valid HIPAA authorization.

For a healthtech company this leads to a practical split. Public marketing pages can usually run analytics once you have checked what each tool receives and, for consumer health brands, what state laws such as Washington's say about condition-specific pages. Anything a patient fills in (intake, scheduling, symptom questions, portal sign-up) is safer inside your product, on vendors that will sign a BAA, with ad pixels kept out, and your product and compliance teams should sign off on where those flows run. HHS's [business associate guidance](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance/business-associates/index.html) is the test for which vendors need one.

> Keep anything a patient types inside your product and its BAA-covered vendors, and keep ad pixels on the pages written for buyers.

One more date to keep straight: the HIPAA Security Rule update that HHS proposed in January 2025 is still a proposal, and the federal regulatory agenda lists it as a long-term action with a final rule targeted for [July 2027](https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=202510&RIN=0945-AA22).


### The FTC and state health privacy laws

If your product handles consumer health information outside HIPAA, look at the FTC next. Its [Health Breach Notification Rule](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/complying-ftcs-health-breach-notification-rule-0), whose 2024 amendments took effect on 29 July 2024, applies to qualifying health apps and similar services outside HIPAA, and the amendments make clear that an unauthorized disclosure of identifiable health information, not only a hack, can count as a breach. The broader FTC Act applies to health data practices too. The FTC's first case under the rule was [GoodRx in 2023](https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/02/ftc-enforcement-action-bar-goodrx-sharing-consumers-sensitive-health-info-advertising), with a $1.5 million penalty for disclosing health information to Facebook, Google and others without telling users. A month later the FTC ordered [BetterHelp](https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/03/ftc-ban-betterhelp-revealing-consumers-data-including-sensitive-mental-health-information-facebook) to pay $7.8 million under the FTC Act after it shared email addresses, IP addresses and answers to a health questionnaire with advertising platforms. In both cases, health details people entered while using the service ended up with ad platforms, and that is the same data a growth team reaches for when it sets up conversion tracking.

States have added their own rules. Washington's [My Health My Data Act](https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=19.373&full=true), in force since 31 March 2024, requires opt-in consent to collect consumer health data, counts health information inferred from other data, asks for a link to a consumer health data privacy policy on the homepage, and gives consumers a private right of action. It excludes people acting in an employment context, which usually takes a hospital buyer out of scope, but members or patients whose health data your site collects can be covered. Nevada and Connecticut have passed similar laws.

### Accessibility

Two US rules from 2024 name WCAG 2.1 AA. The HHS [Section 504 rule](https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2026-09266) covers organisations that receive HHS funding, which includes most hospitals and many clinics, and their web content and apps, including those provided through contracts. In May 2026 HHS extended its deadlines to 11 May 2027 for organisations with 15 or more employees and 10 May 2028 for smaller ones. The DOJ's [ADA Title II rule](https://www.ada.gov/resources/2024-03-08-web-rule/) does the same for state and local governments, now from 26 April 2027 for those serving 50,000 or more people and April 2028 for smaller ones. For private businesses, the DOJ's [web accessibility guidance](https://www.ada.gov/resources/web-guidance/) says the ADA applies to their websites but sets no technical standard and points to WCAG.

A private SaaS company is not covered just because it sells software, but both rules reach content provided to covered organisations through contracts. What happens in practice is that a hospital that has to comply asks its vendors the same question during procurement, often as a request for a VPAT. We wrote a separate guide on [how accessibility turns into a sales blocker](https://www.themasterly.com/blog/accessibility-deal-blocker). If you are designing now, aim for [WCAG](https://www.themasterly.com/glossary/wcag) 2.2 AA, which the W3C published in [October 2023](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/), and check the basics that automated tests catch most often: in WebAIM's [2026 scan of a million homepages](https://webaim.org/projects/million/), 51% had at least one form field without a label, and that is where a demo form most often fails a screen reader.

### GDPR and the EU

If you sell into Europe, two texts matter. Under [GDPR](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016/679/oj), data concerning health is a special category under Article 9, so processing it needs one of the Article 9 conditions, such as explicit consent, on top of an ordinary lawful basis. A clinic manager's name and work email in a demo form is personal data but not health data, while a symptom checker or an intake form usually is. Separately, the ePrivacy Directive requires consent before non-essential cookies and similar trackers, and the EDPB's [Guidelines 2/2023](https://www.edpb.europa.eu/system/files/2024-10/edpb_guidelines_202302_technical_scope_art_53_eprivacydirective_v2_en_0.pdf) finalised in 2024, confirm that this covers pixels and tracking URLs too.

The [European Accessibility Act](https://www.themasterly.com/glossary/european-accessibility-act) has applied since 28 June 2025, but to products and to services provided to consumers. On the text of the directive, a site that only markets software to clinics does not look like a consumer service. If you sell subscriptions to EU patients or consumers online, check the national law of each market you sell in.

## What We Learned Designing for Healthtech Companies

[Ocoord](https://www.themasterly.com/cases/healthcare-saas-ux-ui-design-and-webflow-development-for-osha-hipaa-compliance-platform) helps medical and dental practices stay compliant with OSHA and HIPAA without a compliance officer on staff. We designed the product, the marketing site, the onboarding emails and the investor deck on one design system, so the site and the product feel like the same company. On the site we put product screens beside left-aligned copy so a prospect sees the platform before reading about it, named the core tools (the MEDiCC AI assistant, a library of more than 900,000 safety data sheets, and the CheckMate audit simulation), and gave prominence to the numbers Ocoord could stand behind, such as more than 300 customers and 24/7 support. We built it in [Webflow](https://www.themasterly.com/services/webflow-development) with a CMS so the team can change messaging without a developer. Ocoord raised a $500K pre-seed round, and the platform has guided more than 10,000 practitioners through compliance tasks.

For [Dentinostic](https://www.themasterly.com/cases/healthcare-startup-branding-mobile-app-and-website-design-that-helped-raise-eu650k), a dental telemedicine startup in Germany, the lesson was that patients trust doctors before they trust apps. The website puts the licensed dentists, their credentials and specialties up front, and navigation starts from symptoms such as toothache or gum problems, so patients don't have to diagnose themselves first. The brand had to convince patients, investors and an insurer at once. Dentinostic raised a €650K round and signed an exclusive partnership with Barmer, one of Germany's largest public health insurers.

With [ASPN Labs](https://www.themasterly.com/cases/aspn-labs), the last example above, the lesson was about regulated products: after Shopify Payments banned the account because peptides are a high-risk merchant category, we moved the storefront to PayCreate, a processor built for regulated health products, and placed identity verification inside the purchase flow. ASPN Labs raised $140K after the first engagement and a $120K follow-on round in January 2026.

## How to Choose a Healthcare Web Design Agency

Most agencies that rank for "healthcare web design agency" build sites for hospitals and practices, where the job is booking appointments and listing providers. If you are a healthtech company, ask different questions:

1. **Have they designed for healthtech, not only clinics?** Ask to see a site where the reader was a consumer paying for a health product, a clinician, an IT reviewer or a health plan.
2. **Can they turn dense material into plain pages?** Regulation, clinical evidence and integration details have to become something a busy reader understands in one pass.
3. **Do they design to WCAG 2.1 AA or 2.2 AA from the start?** Ask how they test contrast, keyboard use and form labels before launch.
4. **Who will edit the site after launch?** Webflow and Framer let your marketing team publish without engineers, and Next.js keeps the site in your engineers' workflow. Pick the one that matches who changes the messaging.
5. **Do they know where the marketing site ends?** A good partner will tell you which flows belong in your product and on BAA-covered vendors, and will keep ad pixels away from them.

That last point is also where we draw our own line. We design and build marketing websites in Webflow, Framer or Next.js, including the trust pages, integration pages, evidence sections and demo flows described above. Patient intake, portals and anything that stores health data stay in your product, built and run by your engineering team on your compliance vendors. We can design those product screens too, as we did for Ocoord, and we design the hand-off between site and product so a visitor doesn't notice the seam.

If your current site is one of the ones that leaves the security reviewer hunting, our [web design](https://www.themasterly.com/services/web-design) and [website redesign](https://www.themasterly.com/services/website-redesign) work starts with the pages your buyers check before they ever book a call.

## FAQ

**What makes a good healthcare website design for a healthtech company?**

A good healthtech website answers the visitor's deciding question in the first screen: what it costs, whether insurance or an employer covers it, or, for enterprise software, who it is for. It names the clinicians behind the product, puts a source next to every outcome, says in plain words what happens to health data, and keeps patient-facing flows that collect health information out of the marketing site's analytics and ad tools.

**Does a healthtech marketing website have to be HIPAA compliant?**

HIPAA applies to covered entities and their business associates and to protected health information, not to a website as such. A public page that explains your product and a demo form that asks a clinic manager for a work email usually do not involve protected health information. Patient portals, telehealth pages, appointment booking and symptom or intake forms run for a provider can. When a regulated entity sends that information to a tracking vendor, HHS says it needs a permitted disclosure, which in practice means a business associate agreement or the patient's HIPAA authorization. Ask your compliance counsel to confirm where your own line sits.

**Can we use Google Analytics or Meta Pixel on a healthtech website?**

On public marketing pages aimed at buyers, you usually can, once you have checked what each tool receives and, for EU visitors, collected consent before non-essential trackers run. On authenticated pages and on flows where a patient books care, describes symptoms or registers for a portal, HHS guidance says a tracking vendor that receives protected health information needs a business associate agreement, and a cookie banner does not count as HIPAA authorization. The FTC has also acted against health apps outside HIPAA that shared health data with ad platforms, so check what each event sends, not only which pixel is installed.

**What accessibility standard should a healthcare website meet?**

WCAG 2.1 AA is the level named in both the 2024 HHS Section 504 rule for organisations that receive HHS funding and the 2024 DOJ ADA Title II rule for state and local governments. WCAG 2.2 has been a W3C Recommendation since October 2023 and is the sensible design target. Hospitals that must comply will ask their software vendors about it, so a healthtech company should be ready to answer.

**What should we look for in a healthcare web design agency?**

Look for an agency that has designed for healthcare buyers rather than only clinics, can show how it turned dense clinical or regulatory material into plain pages, designs to WCAG 2.1 AA or 2.2 AA, and can tell you which flows belong on the marketing site and which belong in your product. Ask which platform it builds on, who on your team will be able to edit pages after launch, and how it handles analytics on pages that patients use.

**Should a healthtech company build its marketing site in Webflow, Framer or Next.js?**

Choose by who has to change the site and how often. Webflow and Framer let a marketing team publish pages without developers, which suits companies that change messaging often. Next.js suits teams that want the site in the same codebase and workflow as their engineers. In all three, the patient-facing parts of the product such as intake or portals stay in your application and its BAA-covered vendors.
