IDI Website Tech

Just so everyone is aware, the IDI websites are running on a custom content management system. It's built with the PHP programming language which we're familiar with, but the system itself is something the dev team will have to learn and familiarize ourselves with. 

This means that at worst, we may not be able to implement some changes we want to make to these sites. At best, it will take more time for the dev team to get things done. Keep this in mind as we get started.

Wait, what is the long-term plan and what is included in the contract?
Scott and Chris reviewed this site at length before we signed them, so we must have been aware of this.
Should we limp along with this until we create a new site?

We aren't overhauling the website. One of their other websites, on the same CMS/PHP platform/host, performs outstandingly (I suspect this is a DNS lookup issue, actually, so a BC is already in for a talk with DreamHost/hosting provider). Sean/Eddie's note in BC re-expressing a risk factor to our project that was already known/acknowledged/discussed/explored.

Eddie Olivas, Healthcare Success Eddie Chris Regan, SEO/Search/Data Chris - tomorrow we have a call with the client. Want to confirm a couple of things to make sure we have the correct information when we talk with him:
  • If we wanted to host the illinoisderm.com and idi-loop.com websites how much would that cost per month? Thinking it might be best to just takeover these websites from Laszlo.
  • We still need access to idi-loop.com, correct? When I emailed the client this is what Laszlo said: "IDI-Loop.com at this point does not have a separate CMS. We update it directly into its database or modify it into its code when necessary. Based on your SEO team's proposed changes we could implement them at no cost to IDI." Sounds like we may just need to say we'll host the website in order to make the changes we want.
  • We still need access to the following platforms for both illinoisderm.com and idi-loop.com, correct? 
    • Google Search Console access 
    • Google Analytics access 
    • FTP access 
    • Full Access to Hosting 
    • Developer Consoles access for Google Maps

1) Just hosting a site will not improve its technical issues (i.e., IDI.com) -- note that IDI-Loop.com's performance is outstanding/fantastic.
See: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fidi-loop.com%2F
See attached file here:
2) If Lazlo can make any/any SEO changes to IDI-Loop.com for free then let's leave it there (contain scope).

3) Yes, we need all of those access types requested.

My responses are highlighted below.

  • If we wanted to host the illinoisderm.com and idi-loop.com websites how much would that cost per month? Thinking it might be best to just takeover these websites from Laszlo.
    • We could potentially move these sites to Gossamer Threads which we're already paying for so that would be no additional monthly cost, but it would take hours for the dev team to move the sites and we had wanted to cancel Gossamer Threads and save the $250/month. 
  • We still need access to idi-loop.com, correct? When I emailed the client this is what Laszlo said: "IDI-Loop.com at this point does not have a separate CMS. We update it directly into its database or modify it into its code when necessary. Based on your SEO team's proposed changes we could implement them at no cost to IDI." Sounds like we may just need to say we'll host the website in order to make the changes we want.
  • We still need access to the following platforms for both illinoisderm.com and idi-loop.com, correct? 
    • Google Search Console access 
    • Google Analytics access 
    • FTP access 
    • Full Access to Hosting 
    • Developer Consoles access for Google Maps
  • Yes, that's correct.
Megan Viggers, Healthcare Success
Thank you both for your quick responses. What I'm gathering is we don't recommend hosting the websites because they seem to be doing fine where they are now, or we shouldn't push for it unless the client wants us to host them. 

Also, we are ok with Laszlo making our recommended SEO updates. 

Would we handle making the SEO updates on illinoisderm.com since we have access to that website? 
Stewart Gandolf, CEO at Healthcare Success
This is a very important client and these are nuanced issues.

Please discuss live. Happy to participate

New research reveals U.S. healthcare consumers' current preferences, frustrations and influences throughout the digital patient experience.

Hello there,

As you know, the digital patient journey is changing at every touchpoint – from search to scheduling to surveys. Will today's shifts in consumer behavior be an opportunity or obstacle for your healthcare brand in 2021?

For the fourth consecutive year, my friends at Binary Fountain surveyed U.S. healthcare consumers (https://resources.healthcaresuccess.com/e2t/sc2/MmZ-8yjWDhcW6PCHqq7fNJFMW7cM4QT6xcd3SW41dkSm6TQzt8dBzP8M04 ) to understand their current preferences, frustrations, and influences throughout the digital patient experience.

Join Binary Fountain’s SVP of Marketing, Aaron Clifford, and me as we unveil results from the 2020 Healthcare Consumer Insight & Digital Engagement survey on Thursday, October 15, at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT (https://resources.healthcaresuccess.com/e2t/sc2/MmZ-8yjWDhcW6PCHqq7fNJFMW7cM4QT6xcd3SW41dkSm6TQzt8dBzP8N04 ) .

We will offer data-driven tips and strategies that you can immediately use to improve your healthcare brand’s reputation, maximize your online presence, optimize the customer experience, and ultimately drive new patient revenue.

You will learn:

- How patients are finding doctors online and using reviews to make care decisions
- Which factors matter most to healthcare consumers throughout the patient journey
- Where patients leave reviews and how to generate high-quality feedback on all your listings

Remember, the webinar is on October 15 at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT. Don't forget to register for our webinar here (https://resources.healthcaresuccess.com/e2t/sc2/MmZ-8yjWDhcW6PCHqq7fNJFMW7cM4QT6xcd3SW41dkSm6TQzt8dBzP8P04 ) .
