Every orthopedic website design project is a little different.

In some cases, a practice needs a complex, head-to-toe revamp because they’re rebranding or just a minor refresh to switch to a more flexible CMS and more modern page layouts.

Other times, a healthcare provider needs a lot of help in a lot of different areas—especially in cases where they aren’t quite starting over completely but they have a lot of tech debt, content issues, and functionality problems.

That was the complex situation with Illinois Bone and Joint Institute’s website.

With their recent redesign, IBJI needed web development rework, improved functionality, and more modern mobile designs to reach nearly 62% of their web audience on handheld devices.

Read on to learn more about TBH Creative helped IBJI’s with their multifaceted orthopedic website design project.

Hi, I’m Gizzelle (pronounced with a soft “G”).

I joined the TBH Creative team in September 2022 as a digital marketing associate.

Writing has always been one of my biggest passions because effective communication is the most powerful tool humans can have. Words alone have started and ended wars (though I don’t intend to cause one—unless it’s a cooking war), so mastering communication is a lifelong objective of mine.

Buzzwords are not unlike eating too many carbs, they vibrate for a moment but offer little substance over time. That truth applies to all communications and marketing, particularly when it comes to healthcare marketing buzzwords.

Like other highly-regulated industries looking to reach general consumer populations, healthcare marketing requires clarity and simplicity. Buzzwords can feel hip, current, and casual but often offer zero value to your reader, e.g., your potential patient or healthcare consumer.

About 84% of people get health information from the internet, and 37% use health-related apps, according to a 2020 peer-reviewed study. That’s why it’s vital to make your medical practice’s communications mobile-friendly. Developing a healthcare mobile marketing strategy keeps your medical practice within reach of your next patient’s search for care.

In 2021, 66% of sites were accessed on a mobile device. Bounce rates increased in the same year, suggesting that users are using their phones more than their desktops (but losing interest in the sites they find quicker than ever). Keep reading to learn how to execute healthcare mobile marketing that attracts and keeps patients on your site.
