A custom WordPress site for a network of diagnostic labs, with a catalogue of 671 tests

Medisyn is a cooperative of laboratory physicians with diagnostic labs in Athens, Thessaloniki, Heraklion, Larissa and Patras. It covers molecular biology and genetics, cytology, clinical chemistry, endocrinology, haematology and immunology, and is accredited to ISO 15189.

Medisyn wanted a site worthy of an accredited lab network: one that clearly presents its labs, services and accreditations, and serves two very different audiences, the physicians who work with it and the patients.

At the heart of the site had to be the test catalogue, with hundreds of tests in two languages, easy for the team itself to update.

Designed from scratch

We designed and built the entire layout in WordPress, with no ready-made theme. Every page, from the labs to the services and accreditations, was built around what the visitor is looking for: the physician, the partner or the patient.

Bilingual, with a stable structure

The whole site works in Greek and English. Content is organised in custom fields, so the Medisyn team can update it without a developer and without breaking the layout.

The test catalogue

We moved the tests from Medisyn's database into a new structure. Each test has its own page with its title in Greek and English, clinical use and method. Visitors find it by search or through an alphabetical index in Greek, Latin and 0–9, because many tests are known by their scientific names.

What changed

Physicians find the information they need on their own, so calls about simple questions dropped. Patients easily locate the test they were asked to do. And the team updates the site and the catalogue itself.
