Trusted by leading healthcare brands

The Translation Team
Case study

You were very capable, very knowledgeable. You knew the tools behind it, the importance of data tracking, positioning, and all these aspects that went beyond the look and feel of the website.

Vibrix Compounding
Case study

I looked at the website and I thought “Wow. That is so... us." (Andy is) One of the most talented people in web I have ever worked with. He has incredible taste, attention to detail, and is incredible to collaborate with.

AltSocial Club
Case study

"MMG Design just gets it. They built us a killer website that was live under tight deadlines, and the amount of email addresses we've managed to get from visitors to the events page has been huge for retargeting. Highly recommend this team."

Exact Medicare
Case study

Absolutely thrilled with the new look and feel for Exact’s new website. We were extremely impressed with the eye for design and efficiency. The communication has been outstanding, and it's nothing but five-star reviews from us. We truly appreciate how fast he has executed this project and turned it around under tight deadlines.

Darwin Research Group
Case study

Andy communicated and overdelivered for us all the way through. He taught us the ins and outs of the Webflow platform and helped our team every step of the way. They absolutely transformed our website.

Vibrix Pharmacy
Case study

Since partnering with Andy and MMG Design, our web presence has gone from concept to powerful conversion tool. The Vibrix Pharmacy website now communicates who we are, what we offer and why patients and providers should choose us, all with clarity, precision and a touch of warmth.

Huckle Insights
Case study

We have a much clearer message, cleaner website, and high tech feel that reinforces confidence in those interested in testing our platform. The team was well-organized, no surprises, and a pleasure to work with. This has absolutely been a home run for us.

HUMAN DIRECTION CHANGES THE OUTCOME

Fast execution does not automatically create an original website.

Codex is a highly capable coding agent. With the right repository, requirements, design system, constraints, and testing instructions, it can implement complex website changes remarkably quickly.

We begin one level earlier by determining what the website needs to accomplish, who it must persuade, and what will make the experience unmistakably yours. We use technology to accelerate production, but experienced people remain responsible for every strategic, creative, and business decision.

Powerful tools improve output, not effectiveness. Experienced direction determines whether the finished website solves the right problem.

MMG vs Codex

A smarter approach to healthcare web work

Strategic direction

Codex can help analyze requirements and propose a plan, but your team must provide the context and determine whether that plan is right.

Ability to turn business goals and audience needs into a clear website strategy.
Production speed

Codex wins when the task is technically defined and an experienced operator can review the implementation. Our process also includes discovery, messaging, creative review, stakeholder feedback, and launch planning, so it addresses a broader project.

Codex can implement, test, and revise clearly defined website changes extremely quickly.
Healthcare expertise

We win because our recommendations are informed by direct healthcare website experience. Codex can research healthcare topics, but your team must identify missing context, verify its conclusions, and determine how the information applies to the business.

We understand the competing needs of patients, providers, partners, investors, marketers, and compliance stakeholders.
Creative direction

We win because meaningful differentiation requires taste, judgment, competitive awareness, and intentional art direction. Codex can implement a distinctive design system, but someone still needs to create and defend that direction.

We build the visual direction around your positioning instead of asking the interface to define the brand.
Initial investment

Codex wins on software cost. The total cost depends on the internal time required for strategy, copy, design direction, prompting, code review, testing, security, stakeholder management, and deployment.

Codex can cost significantly less dollars, but will require team hours and technical expertise.
Risk-aware planning

We win because compliance-sensitive website decisions require business context, careful implementation, and coordination with qualified legal and compliance reviewers. Codex can identify potential issues, but generated recommendations and code still require professional verification.

We consider privacy, consent, accessibility, tracking, forms, and healthcare data-handling concerns throughout the project.
MMG Design

MMG vs codex

Experience the difference

MMG Design
Trustworthy. 1 of 1.

Our design is original, intentional, and built around the company’s positioning, audience, and goals. Every decision is backed by research.

Claude code horizontal logo
Unoriginal. Templated.

The Codex design is remarkably basic. Without strong human direction, it lacks the brand-specific judgment and originality needed to make the company feel truly distinct.

An excellently designed homepage with great spacing, UI/UX, and custom features Claude designed homepage with poor design
