Who we serve Public health
Websites for public health departments.
Residents come to find a clinic, order a birth certificate and look up a restaurant inspection.
Pellmoor Public Health is fictional, an example site by LFW.
What residents come to do.
A health department’s site serves a family on a phone, a restaurant owner and a doctor’s office on the same day.
Clinics and vaccines
Clinic hours, walk-in or appointment, what each costs and what insurance it takes.
Vital records
Birth and death certificates: who can order, what ID to bring, the fee and the online order link.
Inspections
Restaurant inspection results by name and how to report a foodborne illness.
Environmental health permits
Septic, well, pool and food service permits, with the fee schedule and the inspector to call.
Health alerts
Outbreak notices, heat and air quality advisories and provider alerts, each on one page the alert points to.
WIC and family health
WIC, nutrition and home visiting programs, in the languages your clients speak.

Moving your health department off a platform.
What the agreements say about renewal, notice and your data, and what moving takes, step by step.
What it costs.
Prices are the same for every kind of public institution.
Care, $250 a month
Updates and security patches, off-site backups, uptime checked every minute and broken links found daily. Cancel any time.
A site you made, kept
A site you make yourself in your browser is already built, so there is no setup fee: Care starts the month you keep it.
Projects, at a fixed price
An accessibility audit and fix plan is $3,500; a district rebuild is $9,500. Larger scopes and RFPs are quoted in writing.
