Medical Website Design Tips & Guidelines
MMA adheres to the best web design standards & practices to maximize the viewing experiences of Internet viewers (your patients).
Below are some tips and guidelines to consider when thinking about the design of your medical web site.
- Use a good color scheme to enhance readability
- Leave white space for the eyes to rest - a crowded page is more difficult to read
- Speed, speed, speed; pages should load within 8-15 seconds.
Don't "bloat" pages with too much text or graphics
- Use a consistent navigation so the user can easily traverse the site
- Limit use of multimedia, animation, and Flash to appropriate areas.
These can slow down a site and frustrate viewers
- Use clear, sharp photos of the office, patients, and medical staff
- KIS( Keep It Simple ) - Starting and ending a medical web site project can be challenging.
Therefore, we recommend that clients start with a finite scope, and add to the web site after a few months of service.
In the world of web, often "less" is "more."
