Centra Health

Healthcare Website Design & Development

Centra's primary challenge was a website presence that had grown to over 100 separate websites for its hospitals, clinics, service lines, and more. There was no overall online plan in place to accommodate Centra's continuing growth, such as the acquisition or addition of a facility. Numerous meetings with the Centra team helped to establish a plan and structure for the website development.

The overall structure focused on people, facilities, and services, with each entry point containing a robust search mechanism that aligns content for the visitor. When a visitor views a service, all physicians and facilities associated with that service are also presented, and vice versa.

Working with UNANIMOUS, Centra now has a single, centralized website that focuses on the visitor experience, streamlines content management (CMS), and meets its future growth demands. Location-detection functionality makes it easy for visitors to find their nearest Centra health location or provider instantly.
