The number of websites using WordPress grows every year, and it is one of the most widely adopted platforms today.

WordPress will continue to be supported, strengthened, and new features will become available.

Send us the content for the new service or treatment at your practice, and we will have it up quickly. The quick turn around time allows us to respond to your needs rapidly without needless delays.

No 6. WordPress’s Plug-in Are Top Notch (PatientGain offers embedded apps also)

In addition to the apps we develop at PatientGain.com, there are many other plugins available through WordPress. A plugin is, in essence, a small program that adds more features to your medical website. It is called a “plugin” because it is ready to be used on your website without massive programming. When you plug in a lamp, you don’t need to make the cord, the prongs, and the electrical outlet. Everything is there, ready to go for you to plug it in.

We utilize a variety of HIPAA compliant apps  in addition to plugins. We are continually evaluating new plugins and see if they are stable, secure, and useful to use on a medical website. We are experienced in making sure all HIPAA guidelines are met.

No 7. WordPress Websites Are Easy To Operate

When other platforms breakdown or have a challenge, it can derail an entire web team. It may be days or weeks before a solution is found. With WordPress, there is hardly anything we can not overcome. It is reliable, and if something does breakdown, we can have it fixed relatively quickly most of the time. If your website goes down, it is because the entire WordPress ecosystem is having an issue. Your website will be down with over 50% of the internet, so rest assured that a fix will be coming quickly!

No 8. WordPress Is SEO Friendly & Can Boost Your Organic Rankings 

There are many check marks you need to check off if you want great medical SEO for your website. While content plays a significant role in it, so do many backend features of your site. These behind the scenes factors can be difficult to monitor, find, and improve. Fortunately, WordPress makes it easy to manage SEO with a variety of plugins.

• Excellent Navigation

No 9. WordPress Is A Secure Platform For Your Medical Website

With over a quarter of the top 10 million websites using WordPress for their site, this software is a frequent target of hackers. The WordPress team provides regular security updates, and we always apply those updates to your medical website. You may hear about a WordPress site being hacked, even from a competitor. Many of these hacks are the result of an owner not applying the latest security patches and updates or using a plugin that was not fully vetted. The team at PatientGain.com applies updates as soon as they come out, and we never use a plugin if we suspect there is a security issue with it.

No 10. WordPress Is Mobile Friendly

Unlike other website platforms or custom made HTML sites, WordPress is built to be screen responsive. It supports all screen sizes and mobile devices. Many of the paid themes have been optimized to mobile devices, saving you time trying to figure out how to make your website look good on a mobile device.
