| What does your website design say about your organization?
It's a simple question with huge ramifications. Is your website professional, clean, organized and inviting? Or is your website design lacking in clean simplicity and organization? Did you know that visitors to your website will interpret your website and its characteristics as representative of your hospital and its services?
So, what does your website design say about your hospital?
Scorpion Healthcare has specialists in website design that will help your organization redefine the look of your website and the message it sends. Our team will work with you to determine the impression you wish to make with the site - warm and inviting, modern, family-oriented, etc. Then, we will design the site using color schemes and images that convey to the public that feeling you want them to get about your hospital.
When it's all completed, you will have a website that accurately reflects the vision and feeling of your hospital. The site will be professional, clean and organized for simple navigation and an inviting experience that encourages interaction and repeat visits. The Website Design Process
Each website design begins with one-on-one consulting from a Scorpion Healthcare design specialist. During these periods of consultation, our design specialists will dedicate themselves to understanding your hospital's vision, goals and uniqueness. They will also work with you to determine the "feel" for your website design.
After completing the hospital background and needs assessment, our graphic designers immediately begin crafting ideas for your hospital's website including images, layout, navigation, colors and sub-page design. Upon completing the design concept for the hospital's website, we will post the design on a web server so you can see the design as it would appear in a browser. From there, our design consultants work with you to determine what, if any, changes should be made to ensure the design sufficiently meets the needs and impression determined in the initial design consultation(s).
At final approval, your hospital's website design is taken from concept to reality and coded out to ensure cross-browser compatibility and quick load-time. It is then integrated with Scorpion SiteManager and any other tools you have included in your technology or website package.
To extend service to our clients, Scorpion Healthcare offers website and application hosting services to all of our clients. You may, however, choose to have Scorpion Healthcare install your website and applications on your own internal servers if you do not wish to host them off-site.

- Each design consultant is trained to inquire about your website goals and marketing strategies and to assist in their construction as needed. Different angles are addressed to ensure a complete approach to both the design and future marketing of your hospital's website.
- Upon completion of the clearly defined goals, strategies and design elements, our graphic designers begin the creative process. They will create what we call "design concepts" - full-sized image representations of your website design for viewing in a browser. These design concepts enable us to quickly and easily modify the designs accordingly.
- Your feedback is critical to this stage of your hospital's website design process. It is our goal that your website adequately reflects your hospital's "personality" and goals. And this is the stage to make any changes you deem necessary.
- After arriving at the approved design, our expert developers will quickly code your website by hand. There are a number of companies that will employ software-generated HTML code from off-the-shelf applications. However, such software produces much more HTML code than is required by the page. Hand-written HTML code provides your hospital with the following benefits:
- Smaller file sizes reduce the disk space usage on the server
- Smaller file sizes load faster in the browser reducing the wait-time for visitors
- Cross-browser compatibility ensured with less code to create problems
- Once the website is coded out, it is integrated with any additional Scorpion Healthcare tools such as Scorpion SiteManager, Scorpion HealthJobs, Scorpion EventPlanner or Scorpion HealthLetters.
- Unlike other technology firms, Scorpion Healthcare does not outsource the design or development of any our clients' websites or applications. This ensures the quality and integrity of our work.
