Most website builders were designed for restaurants and freelancers. Post-acute agencies need HIPAA-ready hosting, referrer attribution, and intake that plugs into clinical workflow. Here's how the top options stack up — and where DSL for Care fits in.
Wix, Squarespace, and most standard Unbounce/Instapage plans won't sign a Business Associate Agreement. That rules out real intake forms — see how DSL for Care handles PHI-safe intake.
Generic builders don't understand OASIS, eligibility, or referral source management — so your marketing lives disconnected from your operations. Our product suite ties the two together.
Post-acute growth runs on referral sources. Generic tools can't attribute leads to specific referrers or partner agencies out of the box — the Referrer Network is built for exactly this.
Scored on capability out of the box — without stitching plugins, BAAs, or CRM connectors together.

Purpose-built for Home Health, Hospice, and Therapy agencies. Landing pages, referrer attribution, A/B testing, AI copy tuned to post-acute care, and multi-tenant management sit on top of the same platform that runs clinical workflow. Fastest path from published page to booked demo to admitted patient.
Best for: Agencies that want marketing, referrer, and clinical operations on one platform.
Excellent for brochure sites and small businesses, but they won't sign a BAA on standard plans. Fine for a public marketing homepage; wrong tool for anything touching PHI or referral workflows.
Best for: Static brochure sites with no lead capture involving PHI.
Endlessly flexible but demands a developer, a HIPAA-compliant host (like WP Engine's healthcare tier), a BAA, security plugins, form plugins, and a CRM integration. Total cost of ownership is real.
Best for: Agencies with in-house or agency developers who want maximum control.
Best-in-class landing page A/B testing, but generic. HIPAA options exist on enterprise tiers only and still require you to bring your own healthcare CRM, referral logic, and clinical intake.
Best for: Marketing teams running high-volume paid campaigns that already own a healthcare CRM.
Provider-directory-plus-site for individual practitioners and small clinics. Solid for solo providers; not designed for multi-branch agency operations, referrer networks, or hospice/therapy workflows.
Best for: Solo providers and small outpatient clinics.
A healthcare website builder is a platform for creating and publishing HIPAA-ready websites and landing pages built around clinical workflows, referral sources, and patient intake — not just generic marketing pages.
Neither Wix nor Squarespace will sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) on standard plans, which means they should not be used to collect Protected Health Information. Purpose-built healthcare platforms sign BAAs and handle PHI-safe forms.
Post-acute agencies need referrer attribution, eligibility-aware intake, and multi-branch tenancy — features generic builders don't offer. A specialized platform like DSL for Care ties landing pages directly to the clinical and referral workflow.
Yes. DSL for Care signs a BAA with every agency customer before any Protected Health Information is collected. Intake forms, referral submissions, and CRM records are all covered under the same agreement, and hosting runs on a HIPAA-eligible infrastructure with encryption in transit and at rest.
PHI is isolated per agency tenant with row-level security, encrypted at rest with managed keys, and encrypted in transit over TLS 1.2+. Access is scoped by role (admin, clinical, referrer, marketing), every access event is audit-logged, and PHI is never used to train shared AI models. Marketing analytics use de-identified aggregates.
Yes. DSL for Care ships with connectors for common home health and hospice EMRs (WellSky, HCHB, MatrixCare, Axxess), plus HubSpot, Salesforce Health Cloud, and webhook or SFTP handoffs for anything custom. Intake, referral, and lead-source fields map directly into your existing pipeline without middleware.
Every referrer — hospital case manager, SNF, physician office, or partner agency — gets a unique tracked link or QR code. Submissions capture the referrer, campaign, and landing page automatically, then route into your CRM and clinical intake queue. Admins see attribution dashboards for admitted vs. lost referrals, close rate, and revenue by source.
Most agencies go live in 5–10 business days: day 1–2 kickoff and content import from your Wix, WordPress, or Squarespace site; day 3–5 rebuild forms as HIPAA-ready intake and wire referrer tracking; day 6–8 QA, SEO redirects, and analytics; day 9–10 DNS cutover and launch. Multi-branch or agency-network rollouts run 3–4 weeks.
Yes. We audit your current sitemap, preserve high-traffic URLs, and set 301 redirects for anything that changes. Google Analytics, GA4, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, and call-tracking numbers move over on the same cutover, so rankings and attribution stay intact.
Yes. We import pages, media, and blog content, rebuild forms as HIPAA-ready intake, reconnect any referrer or ad-source tracking, and preserve URLs with 301 redirects. Most single-location agencies complete migration in under a week.
The platform is multi-tenant by design. Each branch or franchisee gets its own landing pages, intake queue, referrer network, and analytics, while corporate keeps roll-up reporting, brand controls, and template governance. Permissions, audit logs, and BAAs scale across the network from a single admin.
