HIPAA-aware website design
A website that respects patient privacy, by design.
Many healthcare websites quietly send sensitive information to Google, Meta and other tools without the practice knowing. We build websites that keep patient details where they belong, and connect you with the right partners for anything that needs full HIPAA compliance.
The problem
Your website may be sharing more than you think.
Most practice owners have never looked at what their website sends behind the scenes. Common tools can share information about visitors with tech companies.
- 01
Tracking pixels on sensitive pages.
Meta and Google tracking code on contact, intake or appointment pages can send details about what a visitor did to those companies.
- 02
Contact forms that collect too much.
Forms asking for symptoms or diagnoses send health information by regular email.
- 03
Tools without agreements.
Google and Meta don’t sign HIPAA Business Associate Agreements for their ad and analytics tools.
- 04
“HIPAA compliant” claims that aren’t true.
Some agencies sell a “HIPAA compliant website,” but a marketing website alone can’t make your practice compliant.
Why we say “HIPAA-aware,” not “HIPAA compliant.”
HIPAA compliance depends on your whole practice: your policies, your staff and the signed agreements you have with every vendor that handles patient information. No website alone can make you compliant, and any agency promising that is overselling. What we can do is build a website that avoids common privacy risks and connects to HIPAA-compliant tools for anything that involves patient health information.

Is the Meta Pixel a HIPAA violation?
It can create serious risk on pages where patients share health information, like intake or appointment pages. Federal regulators have warned healthcare providers about tracking technologies. We remove it from sensitive pages and use privacy-safe alternatives.
Can you make my website HIPAA compliant?
No website alone can make your practice HIPAA compliant. We make your website HIPAA-aware and connect you with compliant tools for intake and patient data. Talk to your compliance advisor or attorney about your full obligations.
Do I need a BAA for my contact form?
If your form collects health information, the service that receives it may need to sign a BAA. The simpler fix is often to keep your general contact form free of health details and use a HIPAA-compliant intake tool for anything clinical.
Can I still use Google Analytics?
You can use analytics on general pages if no patient health information is sent. We set it up carefully and keep it off sensitive pages.
Is this legal advice?
No. We’re a marketing agency. We help reduce common website privacy risks, and we recommend confirming your obligations with a qualified compliance professional.
