Design, SEO, content, and social — for physicians only

SolveinLaunchMedNervana

Start here

Most practices arrive with one of three problems.

Services

Everything that decides whether a patient calls.

The site is where it starts, not where it stops. We handle search, content, and social from the same brand system, so your practice reads the same everywhere a patient meets it.

01

Website Design and Development

Structure, writing, design, and build. Original work for one practice, not a theme with your logo dropped in. Fast, responsive, accessible, and yours to edit after launch.

StrategyBespoke designCMS
02

Medical 3D and Visualization

Device models, labeled anatomy, and scroll-driven procedure sequences. Used where a paragraph genuinely fails, not as decoration. The same technique we built for investigational devices under regulatory review.

3DMotionProcedure sequences
03

Patient Education Tools

Summary builders, decision aids, and pre-visit questionnaires patients complete at home and bring to the appointment. The tools that change what the consult sounds like.

InteractivePre-visitConversion
04

SEO and Local Search

Condition and procedure pages built to rank, clean technical foundations, schema, site speed, and Google Business Profile work. Migrations preserve the rankings you already have — we redirect, we don't reset.

Technical SEOLocal and map packMigrations
05

AI Search Visibility

A growing share of patients now ask an assistant before they open Google. That layer cites structured, specific, clearly-sourced pages. We write and mark up your content so your practice is retrievable, not just rankable.

Structured contentSchemaCitability
06

Content and Blog

Twenty-five to a hundred posts depending on scope, written on the conditions and procedures your patients actually search. Drafted to a physician's standard, and never published without your review.

Clinical copywritingEditorial calendarReview workflow
07

Social Media Marketing

Managed accounts and content built from the same brand system as the site, so the practice looks like one practice. Procedure explainers, patient education, and a posting cadence you never have to think about.

Content productionSchedulingCommunity
08

Photography and Video

Physician portraits, facility, and procedure explainers. Every metric we track says real footage of the actual practice outperforms stock, and patients can tell the difference in about a second.

PortraitsFacilityExplainers
09

Analytics and Optimization

Form and scheduling attribution set up properly on day one, so you know which pages produce appointments. Then we change what the numbers say to change, not what we feel like redesigning.

AttributionReportingCRO

Not sure which of these you need? Most practices start with the site and add search and social once it's live. The audit tells you which order makes sense for your market.

Inside the build

Four things a template site can't do for you.

Swipe to see all four →

01 Targeted navigation explainer with labeled anatomy

Walk a patient through the procedure before they book

02 Scroll-driven treatment mechanism sequence

Show the mechanism instead of describing it twice

03 Clinical explanation of underlying disease

Explain what's under the symptom they came in for

04 Vein consultation summary builder tool

Hand you a patient who arrives with their questions written down

You already give this explanation fifteen times a week. It should be built once, and built well.

Visual and video explanations improve patient comprehension more reliably than text alone — BMC Health Services Research, 2024.

Selected work

Four audiences. One problem: make it understood.

Solvein website hero showing the updated interactive 3D device model over an animated wave background
Mona Dinari website hero, English site, showing her portrait and Acupuncture and Classical Chinese Medicine positioning for her Los Angeles and Paris practice
LaunchMed website hero for a medical device incubator

Case study, Solvein

A consultation the patient had already rehearsed.

Patient educationConversion

An investigational venous platform. Interactive 3D device model, a scroll driven mechanism sequence, and seven patient tools, including a summary builder patients fill out and bring to the appointment.

Who we build for

Specialties where the patient has to understand something first.

If the decision is elective, expensive, or frightening, the explanation is the whole job. That's the work we're built for.

Plastic and reconstructive surgery Dermatology Vein and vascular Orthopedics and sports medicine Med spa and aesthetics Ophthalmology ENT and facial plastics Dental specialists Fertility and reproductive Pain management Concierge and executive medicine Medical device and biotech

Not listed? The method doesn't care about the specialty. It cares whether something needs explaining.

Why we're different

A decade of training, summarized in six stock blocks.

Hero photo, service list, testimonials, form. Most practice sites are the same four decisions with a different logo on top. The problem isn't that they're ugly. It's that they're interchangeable, and interchangeable is the one thing your medicine is not.

How it goes.

About 3 to 4 weeks, and very little of it yours.

You, your patients, and the four competitors they are also reading.

Architect

What gets said, in what order, to whom — and what has to rank.

Design

The visual language, settled before anything is built.

Build

Launch

Redirects, testing, integrations, analytics, handover.

Evolve

Optional. We change what the data says to change.

  • One kickoff conversation, about an hour
  • A clinical review pass on copy and any anatomy we build
  • Access to your domain, analytics, and scheduling tool

FormaMD insights

Clear thinking for a more useful digital practice.

Practical guidance for physicians and practice leaders making decisions about websites, search, patient access, reputation, and medical technology.

Questions physicians actually ask

The ones that come up on every call.

What does a medical practice website actually cost?

It depends on provider count, how much needs explaining, and how many procedure pages you need — the same variables that make one surgery quicker than another. What we can tell you without a call: you're paying for original design and engineering hours, not a resold theme. The exact number comes out of the audit, specific to your scope, not a range you have to translate yourself.

Will I lose the search rankings I have now?

Not if the migration is done properly. We map every existing URL, redirect it, preserve the content that is already ranking, and monitor for drops in the weeks after launch. Ranking loss after a redesign is a preventable mistake, not an unavoidable cost.

Do you do SEO and social, or only the website?

Both. Search foundations are built into every site we ship. Ongoing SEO, content, and social media management run as separate engagements, priced after we've looked at your market. Most practices launch the site first and add channels once it's live and measurable.

How much of my time will this take?

Roughly an hour for kickoff, a clinical review pass on the copy and any anatomy we build, and two rounds of consolidated feedback. We write the first draft of everything. You correct the medicine — that part we won't do for you.

Do I need 3D? It sounds expensive.

Often you don't. You need a patient to understand something quickly, and sometimes a clear diagram or a well-written page does that better than a model. We fit the tool to the explanation. If 3D isn't earning its place, we'll tell you and build the cheaper thing.

Most of my patients come from referrals. Does this matter?

Referred patients still look you up before calling. The site rarely creates the referral, but it routinely confirms or undermines one. That's a quieter loss than a missed ad click, and a more expensive one.

What about HIPAA and patient privacy?

We build intake to avoid collecting protected health information wherever possible, and we integrate with the scheduling and EHR vendors you already use for anything that carries it. We'll build to your compliance requirements and work with your counsel or compliance officer on the specifics.

Do you work with practices outside Los Angeles?

Yes. Most of the work is remote and always has been. Photography and video days are the exception and get scheduled on site.

The audit

Find out what your site is currently saying about you.

Free and specific: your current site, the competitors your patients compare you to, where the journey leaks, what search shows for your procedures, and the first three things we would change. No deck, no obligation.

What are you looking at?

No mailing list. One reply, from a person.
