Overview

Someone arriving at an oncologist's website is usually searching right after a serious diagnosis, for themselves or for a relative. What they are looking for is not marketing language but what a given method means, and whether this doctor performs it.

The site was therefore built around its clinical areas. Methods such as PIPAC, cytoreductive surgery + HIPEC, pelvic exenteration, laparoscopic surgery and gastrointestinal surgery, along with gastric, colorectal and oesophageal cancer, each received their own detail page. A patient's relative lands directly on the topic they searched for, and every method becomes separately visible in search engines.

The about section covers the doctor's specialisation history and academic identity, while a separate publications section lists work published in international journals. In healthcare, trust is built on record rather than claims — which is why academic publications sit in the main menu rather than in a footer.

The site was built as static pages so it opens fast with no server dependency. In line with Turkish healthcare advertising rules the language is purely informative, with no promise of outcome and no patient testimonials; the contact section is limited to hospital details and appointment channels.

Highlights

  • A separate detail page for every surgical method and cancer type
  • Plain explanations of advanced methods such as PIPAC, HIPEC and pelvic exenteration
  • An academic publications section in the main menu
  • Informative language compliant with healthcare advertising rules
  • Fast loading through a static page structure

Objectives

  • Get patients and their relatives to the method they searched for by the shortest path
  • Make the doctor's academic identity visible
  • Explain advanced surgical methods clearly without sacrificing medical accuracy

Solution

  • Splitting the clinical areas into cancer types and surgical methods
  • A dedicated page, title and meta setup for each topic
  • Listing publications in their own section
  • A mobile-first static structure with no server dependency

Approach

  1. 01Mapping the clinical areas and methods with the doctor
  2. 02Simplifying medical text into patient language
  3. 03Design, development and content loading

Outcomes

  • Each surgical method now surfaces separately in search results
  • Relatives arrive at the first consultation already knowing the method
  • Academic publications became part of the doctor's digital identity

Challenges

  • Finding clear language while preserving medical accuracy
  • Avoiding phrasing that could count as healthcare advertising
  • Designing a visual language that does not alarm on a heavy subject
