Client: Errol Segall, MD
Industry: Psychiatry / Behavioral Health
DELIVERABLES: Multi-page website redesign
Overview
Dr. Errol Segall is a clinical psychiatrist with over 40 years of experience in private practice. His existing website longer supported his patients’ needs or reflected the quality of his clinical work. The goal was to transform a single-column, unformatted page into a calm, organized,
patient-centered digital practice that provides clear, accessible information and reduces administrative strain.
Agency Mae redesigned the full site with a structured information architecture, warm clinical visual branding, simplified patient workflows, and improved readability for an all patient populations.

Design Approach
& Strategy
A Calm, Therapeutic Brand Aesthetic
We developed a warm, minimalist clinical brand using soft neutral tones, subtle landscapes, and serif typography chosen for legibility and emotional calm.
The visual language reinforces trust, privacy, and professionalism.
A Modern, Patient-Centered Information Architecture
The new site breaks complex information into digestible sections:
-
About
-
Appointments
-
Tele-Medicine
-
Patient Forms
-
Payment
-
Medication Refills
-
Contact
Each page uses clear subheadings, spacing, and simplified language to reduce cognitive load for visitors.
Streamlined Patient Workflows
Previously, all tasks required email back-and-forth.
The redesigned structure provides:
-
New patient intake guidance
-
Returning patient instructions
-
Telemedicine setup help
-
Payment workflow
-
Medication refill expectations
-
Downloadable patient forms
This reduces confusion and supports self-service.
Clinical Credibility & Recognition
A dedicated section now highlights Dr. Segall’s professional accomplishments, including his multi-year Washingtonian “Top Doctor” recognition—providing immediate trust indicators for new patients.
Accessibility Improvements
Patients in psychiatric care often arrive overwhelmed.
To support them, I implemented:
-
High-contrast, legible typography
-
Larger base text sizes
-
Wide spacing and clean visual hierarchy
-
Mobile-first layout
-
Simplified navigation
-
Minimal page depth
Deliverables
& Impact
The redesigned site delivers measurable improvements:
-
Reduced administrative email volume (refills, telemedicine questions, payment confusion)
-
Improved patient clarity and self-service
-
A clinically aligned, professional digital presence
-
Better experience for older, visually sensitive, or anxious patients
-
More accurate presentation of the physician’s qualifications and achievements
This project created a modern, patient-friendly online presence for a long-established psychiatric practice, transforming an outdated text-based page into a clear, supportive digital extension of clinical care.
The final product delivers a calming, trustworthy experience that reflects the clinician’s expertise and supports patients at every step.
