What should you expect from your web design
company?
Your web
site is a
critical
extension
of you and
your
business
and
generally
the first
impression
a client,
investor,
vendor or
potential
employee
will see
when they
are
looking
for your
company. The
company
that
designs
your web
strategy
needs to
be more
than just
technically
competent.
They need
to be
creative,
innovative
and have a
proven
track
record of
success. Your
web site
should
reflect a
positive
public
image and
assist you
in
accomplishing
your
business
goals. If
your
strategy
is well
defined
you can
expect
your
website to
increase
revenues,
decrease
operating
costs and
increase
the equity
value of
your
business.
A well designed, professional, and
informative medical website will
enable you to compete directly in this
ever-growing market.
Axcension can provide you
with a professional web site that

Why choose Axcension?
Many
website design companies
offer solutions that require you to
maintain, update and keep track of your
website. They market these services by
saying they put you in control, save you
money, and get more traffic to your site.
Axcension
believes you can still accomplish these
goals without you doing the work.
You're busy enough as it is. Why spend your
valuable time trying to figure out how to
use the software that came with your website
'package', or worse yet, pay someone else in
your office to handle it for you?
You wouldn't expect your
patients to file their own claims or keep
track of their own billing. We don't expect you to
maintain your website, keep track of the
reports, or update the content in
your site.
Beware of companies of
who offer solutions that require you to do
all the work once the site is built. Many
times you will find that the expensive
software or 'state-of-the-art' technology you
purchased really boils down to the company walking away from your project and
more work for you. In the end you are taking
time away from what is really important:
taking care of your patients.
Medical Information & the Internet
About 93
million Americans, have searched health
topics online, making the act of looking for
health information one of the most popular
online activities, second only to email.
A recent New York Times article reports that
patients are increasingly seeking medical
advice and assistance online and by email,
and that health plans and insurance
companies across the country are now reimbursing health care providers
for these consultations.
Advantages of a professionally
designed site
A professional
medical website is
not simply another form of advertising. It's
a full-time, interactive medium for
educating patients and promoting your
practice. Your website
will quickly provide a way for
patients to learn more about you, your
practice, and their condition and care. Medical consumers frequently research
health information anonymously. Many
patients who would avoid asking questions in
person frequently go online for answers.
Your medical website will enable you to
better control the quality of information
provided.

information and clear disclosure of a
medical provider's privacy policy. HIPAA
regulations require that patient information
sent by electronic means (email, website
forms, online messaging) must be protected
against unauthorized access.
