Medical practice, clinic, health centre, independent practitioner, e-health software publisher: digital projects in healthcare are judged first on data protection and compliance. We design websites and applications that take these constraints seriously from scoping onwards, without sacrificing simplicity for the patient or the team.

## What we do

### Practice or facility website

Team presentation, specialities, opening hours, access, appointment booking: a clear, accessible, fast site, including on a phone in the waiting room.

### Appointment booking and forms

Doctolib or dedicated calendar integration, pre-admission or contact forms designed to collect the strict minimum, encrypted in transit.

### Applications and internal tools

Patient portals, care pathway tracking, internal coordination tools: developed with suitable hosting (French HDS certification whenever health data is stored).

### Accessibility and clarity

Contrast, text sizes, keyboard navigation, plain language: a site usable by patients of all ages and situations.

## Scoping before coding

In healthcare, the first question is not 'which design' but 'which data'. We establish with you the list of what is collected, its purpose, retention period and storage location. That document drives the architecture, hosting and budget, and serves as the basis for your GDPR register and discussions with a DPO. The same method applies to other professions bound by secrecy, such as [law firms](https://eldev.fr/en/sectors/lawyers/index.md).

## A simple experience for the patient

A patient looking for a practice wants to know whether you accept new patients, where you are, how to book. We make these facts prominent, make booking reachable in two clicks, and keep the site readable on a small screen with an average connection. See also our [web development](https://eldev.fr/en/services/web-development/index.md) service. For a patient-facing application, see [mobile apps](https://eldev.fr/en/services/mobile-apps/index.md).

## Industry constraints

- Health data: a special category under GDPR; HDS-certified hosting is mandatory in France as soon as it is stored, with encryption and access logging.
- Professional ethics (medical, dental and other councils): public information allowed, commercial communication regulated, no comparison or promotional testimonials.
- Digital accessibility (RGAA): mandatory for public and assimilated facilities, strongly recommended for all.
- Appointment booking: consistency with Doctolib or your existing calendar to avoid double bookings.

## Why ELDEV

We never store health data by accident: we first map what is collected, where and why, and choose the architecture accordingly, from a simple brochure site with no personal data at all to an application hosted with an HDS-certified provider. You get processing documentation your DPO can use and a partner who understands the difference between contact data and health data.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does a simple practice website need HDS hosting?

No, as long as it neither collects nor stores any health data: presentation, hours, directions and a minimal contact form can be hosted conventionally. As soon as a form collects a reason for consultation or a medical document, [HDS hosting](https://eldev.fr/en/services/hosting-infra/index.md) becomes necessary.

### Can you integrate Doctolib?

Yes, through the official widget or a deep link to your calendar. For a custom calendar (teleconsultation, specific slots), we build the tool with suitable hosting.

### How much does a medical practice website cost?

It depends on the number of practitioners, the features (booking, forms, patient area) and hosting constraints. Quote after a free scoping call: [get in touch](https://eldev.fr/en/contact/index.md), reply within 12 hours.

### Will the site be accessible to people with disabilities?

We apply RGAA criteria from the [design stage](https://eldev.fr/en/services/ui-ux-design/index.md): semantic structure, contrast, keyboard navigation, text alternatives, labelled forms. An accessibility audit can be provided for facilities subject to the obligation.
