Best healthcare web design agencies compared: 6 options by compliance, accessibility and fit

Six agencies that design websites for healthcare organizations, compared on the points that matter in this field: who they serve, how they handle privacy and accessibility, whether they publish prices, where they work from, which platforms they use and what proof they show. Intrepy and Amply publish prices; Cardinal, Medical Web Experts and OHO do not. Dardo wrote this comparison and is one of the six, so it appears last; the order is alphabetical, not a ranking.

Every fact about another agency comes from that agency's own website, linked, as read on 12 November 2026. Where an agency doesn't publish something, the comparison says so. No ratings, review counts or client names appear unless the agency shows them on its own site.

What a healthcare website has to get right

A healthcare website is judged on three things a general web agency may not plan for: accessibility, privacy and trust.

• Accessibility is a legal requirement for many providers. Under the Section 504 rule, organizations that receive federal financial assistance from HHS must make their web content and mobile apps meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA: from 11 May 2026 if they have 15 or more employees, and from 10 May 2027 if they have fewer.
• Privacy depends on what the site collects. Appointment and intake forms, patient portals and some analytics tools can handle protected health information. HHS has published guidance on tracking technologies on covered entities' websites, and a vendor that handles that information for a covered entity is a business associate that needs a written agreement.
• Trust comes from specifics. Provider credentials, plain-language service pages, locations and insurance details, and a short path to book. Our healthcare website examples show how 12 sites do it.

How we compared the agencies

• Specialization: private practices, hospitals and health systems, or health technology companies.
• Compliance: what the agency says on its own site about HIPAA, business associate agreements, security and accessibility.
• Published pricing model: a starting price or range on its own site, or "not published".
• Location and time zone: where its team or offices are.
• Platforms and proof: the CMS it builds on, and named healthcare projects you can open.

The six agencies at a glance

Amply

Amply is a B2B Webflow agency with a page for healthcare websites. That healthcare page says its projects "typically range from $15,000 to $60,000", that it hosts on AWS HIPAA-eligible infrastructure with a business associate agreement signed on every engagement, that it audits accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA at launch, and that it delivers accessibility statements, privacy policies and security pages. Its company page says it was founded in Utah and works as a distributed team.

Choose Amply if you are a health technology or B2B healthcare company that wants a Webflow site your marketing team can edit, with the BAA and the accessibility audit in the scope.

Cardinal Digital Marketing

Cardinal is a healthcare performance-marketing agency that also designs websites. Its homepage says it has joined Power Digital as its dedicated healthcare division, and its website design page says it works "almost exclusively with WordPress", lists basic ADA compliance testing in its process and names client sites including Dayton Children's Hospital. It publishes a children's hospital website case study. We found no published prices.

Choose Cardinal if you run a health system or a multi-location group and want the website, SEO and paid search handled by one healthcare marketing team, on WordPress.

Intrepy Healthcare Marketing

Intrepy is a healthcare marketing agency in Orlando that works only with medical practices and healthcare organizations. Its about page says Justin and Kelley Knott founded it in 2014, that mid-size and large specialty practices have been its full focus for more than 10 years and that its team is HIPAA-trained. Its medical website design page says its pricing "starts at $5,000" and lists premium WordPress plugins among the tools. Case studies include Tennessee Orthopaedic Clinics.

Choose Intrepy if you run a private specialty practice and want the website, SEO and patient acquisition from one agency, with a starting price you can plan around.

Medical Web Experts

Medical Web Experts is a healthcare-only software and web firm. Its homepage says it has worked exclusively in healthcare since 2003, keeps a dedicated in-house CISO, runs continuous automated penetration testing and has an annual third-party HIPAA audit, and builds patient apps, portals and websites. Its about page gives an address in Dallas, Texas. Case studies include a multi-location specialty practice that moved intake, payments and scheduling onto one platform. We found no published prices.

Choose Medical Web Experts if the website has to connect to patient portals, intake, scheduling or records, and a security review matters as much as the design.

OHO Interactive

OHO is a Boston agency that designs websites for higher education and healthcare. Its healthcare page describes a user-centered design process for hospitals, health plans and health insurers, and lists hospital clients such as Brigham and Women's Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital and Texas Children's Hospital. Its Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont case study describes a plan finder built on Drupal 9. We found no published prices.

Choose OHO if you run a hospital or health plan with a large Drupal site, a find-a-doctor or plan-finder tool, and want user research behind the redesign.

Dardo (we wrote this list)

Dardo is the studio that wrote this comparison, so read this entry as our own description, not a review. Dardo has no healthcare client among its case studies. It is a team of three in Bogota, Colombia, on UTC−5 all year, working in English and Spanish (facts), and it audits and fixes websites to WCAG 2.2 AA, with audits from USD 690 (web accessibility). It holds no SOC 2 report or ISO 27001 certificate and does not host protected health information. Its free WCAG 2.2 checklist lists every Level A and AA criterion.

Choose Dardo if you need a bilingual English and Spanish site, or an accessibility audit and fixes to WCAG 2.2 AA, and any health information goes through a separate HIPAA-covered tool. Look elsewhere if you need a vendor that signs a BAA and hosts patient data, or one with healthcare case studies.

How to choose a healthcare web design agency

Start with what the site will collect, then match the agency's segment and platform.

• If the site collects health information (intake, appointments, portals), ask who signs the BAA, where form submissions are stored and how analytics are configured. Medical Web Experts and Amply say the most about this on their own sites.
• If you are a private practice, an agency that also runs local SEO and ads, such as Intrepy, covers patient acquisition end to end.
• If you are a hospital or health plan, look for work at your scale on your CMS: OHO on Drupal, Cardinal on WordPress.
• For accessibility, ask for a WCAG 2.1 or 2.2 AA audit report at launch, not an overlay. Our guide to comparing design studios lists the questions to send every agency.
