Family guide pages
What hospice is, what the Medicare hospice benefit covers, and what the first visit looks like, in plain words.
The Problem
Families and Physicians Can't Find What They Need in a Crisis
It shows up in the hardest week a family faces, and on a busy shift for a referring physician. Both need clear answers from your site, fast.
01 · Families
Families can't tell what hospice includes or who pays.
Plain pages explain your care and the Medicare hospice benefit.
02 · Referrals
Physicians can't find admission criteria or a referral form.
Eligibility guides and a BAA referral form sit one click from your homepage.
03 · Phone line
Your 24-hour number is buried in the footer.
Your 24-hour line appears at the top of every page.
04 · Giving
Memorial gifts and volunteer forms are hard to find.
Giving and volunteer pages get their own place in your menu.
It's 11 p.m. A daughter sits beside her father's bed after his doctor said the word hospice for the first time. She searches on her phone. Your homepage talks about compassion but never says what hospice includes, whether Medicare pays, or how soon care can start. Your phone number is buried in the footer. Meanwhile, a hospitalist wants to refer a patient tomorrow and can't find your admission criteria. Both turn to the hospice with the clearer website.
We start with the two readers who decide where hospice care goes: families and referring clinicians. Families get plain pages on what hospice is, how the Medicare hospice benefit works, and your 24-hour line on every page. Physicians and discharge planners get eligibility guides and a referral form on a platform that signs a Business Associate Agreement (BAA). Donors and volunteers get pages of their own, so they aren't an afterthought.

Our Hospice Website Design Process
From Hospice Review to Clear Answers for Families and Referrers
You approve the sitemap, every clinical statement, and the referral form fields. Your medical director and compliance lead sign off before launch.
We review your current site, how referrals and donations arrive today, and what families ask your admissions team most. You get a sitemap for families, referral sources, donors, and volunteers, plus a fixed price.
What's Included
What You Get With Hospice Website Design and Development
Family guide pages, a 24-hour line on every page, physician referral tools, eligibility guides, donation and memorial giving, and volunteer and bereavement pages for your community.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built websites and referral forms for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Hospices Trust Us With Their Website
The best hospice websites speak to families gently and to referrers precisely. These habits keep your pages compassionate, compliant, and easy to use in a hard week.
No referral inducements
We keep gifts, meals, and anything of value for referral sources off your pages, in line with the Anti-Kickback Statute and OIG hospice guidance. Your compliance lead reviews every referral page.
Patient stories with consent
We publish family stories and photos only with signed HIPAA authorization. A grieving family's words never go live without their written permission.
Clinical wording approved
Your medical director approves every statement about eligibility, symptoms, and care before launch. We write plainly, but the clinical facts come from your team.
Readable in a hard moment
Large type, plain words, and strong contrast help readers who are tired, stressed, or older. We check templates against WCAG 2.1 AA and test them at 200% zoom.
Honest about what you need
If your current hospice website only needs a clearer referral form and a better donate page, we'll tell you before we quote. A full rebuild isn't always the answer.
Accounts in your name
Domain, hosting, giving platform links, and analytics stay in your organization's name. Board changes or vendor changes don't put your site at risk.

Good fit
Nonprofit community hospices
Your hospice depends on donors and volunteers as much as referrals, yet your hospice nonprofit organization website treats giving as an afterthought.
For-profit hospice agencies
You compete for referrals in a crowded market, and physicians can't find your admission criteria or a referral form on your site.
Hospice and palliative care programs
You offer both hospice and palliative care, and you need web design for hospice and palliative care services that explains the difference plainly.
Newly certified hospice providers
You were just certified, and you need a hospice website that earns trust from families and referral sources while your census grows.
Hospices with an inpatient unit
You run an inpatient unit and several home teams, and families need to know where care happens and how to visit.
Not a fit
Home care agency
You run a home care or home health agency rather than a hospice. Our Home Care Website Design page covers care types, referrals, and caregiver hiring.
Online giving only
Your site works, but online giving is clumsy. Our Donation Website Development service fixes recurring and memorial gifts without a full redesign.
Need a search program
You want ongoing search work rather than a new site. Our Healthcare SEO Agency page covers a monthly program, and your current site may be fine.
Budget under $1,300
Your budget is under $1,300. A clean nonprofit template with your 24-hour number, a referral form, and a donate button is the cheaper start.

Saimul IslamFounder & CEO, DeveloperLookStill have questions?
Send a message or book a call with the team.
You market hospice by teaching people what it is before they need it, then making it easy to reach you. That means community talks, clergy and senior center relationships, and a website that explains care in plain words. Families often first hear about hospice in a crisis, so clear education does more than ads.
Show exactly what your hospice services include and who provides them. Families want to know about nursing visits, aides, social workers, chaplains, respite care, and bereavement support, plus how fast care can start. Give each service a plain page, put your 24-hour line on every one, and let real photos of your team do the reassuring.
Hospice website design with DeveloperLook starts at $1,300 for one hospice. That covers family guide pages, your 24-hour line on every page, a referral form on a BAA platform, and a donation page. Hospices adding eligibility guides, memorial giving, and volunteer pages start at $3,200. Multi-location hospices start at $5,800, fixed after a free discovery call.
Most hospice sites launch in 5 to 10 weeks. A single hospice takes about 5 to 6 weeks. Eligibility guides and giving pages add about 2 weeks, mostly for medical director and compliance review. Multi-location sites take the full 10, since each location's details need their own sign-off.
Give physicians what they need to refer the right patient at the right time, and nothing of value beyond that. That means condition-based eligibility guides, a fast referral form, and a liaison who follows up. Gifts, meals, or perks for referral sources can violate the Anti-Kickback Statute, so keep outreach educational.
Market each program on its own terms. A dementia, cardiac, or veterans program needs its own page explaining who it serves, what the team does differently, and how to refer. Programs give physicians and families a clearer reason to choose you, as long as every claim matches care you actually deliver.
Start with a website that answers family questions and takes referrals, then build search and reviews around it. Keep your Google Business Profile current, publish plain guides on hospice topics, and reply to reviews without confirming anyone was a patient. Leave ad pixels off referral and contact forms, because those pages carry health information.
A hospice can market legally by keeping claims truthful and offering nothing of value to win patients or referrals. Patient stories need signed HIPAA authorization, and outreach to physicians and facilities should stay educational. OIG guidance for hospices flags gifts and arrangements with referral sources. Your compliance officer or counsel should review campaigns before launch.
Federally, the main ones are the Anti-Kickback Statute, the beneficiary inducement penalty rules, HIPAA's marketing and authorization rules, and FTC truth-in-advertising law. States add licensing rules, and some limit how providers solicit patients. Medicare's hospice Conditions of Participation stay your team's duty. Your state licensing agency and counsel have the final word.
Start with the referral relationships and the website your census depends on. Map the hospitals, nursing facilities, and physician groups near you, and give each a clear referral path and an educational contact. Then track every referral by source in a CRM, so you can see which relationships grow and which need attention.
