The Problem: Fragmentation & Compliance

Myheco faced a critical challenge: their healthcare content was fragmented across multiple disconnected systems, leading to inconsistent patient information and severe compliance risks. The existing infrastructure could not support dynamic content updates required by medical professionals without heavy engineering involvement.

Furthermore, the legacy platform struggled with SEO performance due to poor server-side rendering, which directly impacted patient acquisition metrics.

Data Silos

Critical patient education content was locked in PDF silos, unsearchable and unmanageable.

High Maintenance

Marketing team relied on developers for simple text changes, creating a 2-week backlog.

Compliance Risk

Inconsistent versioning of medical documents posed a significant regulatory liability.

The Solution: Centralized CMS Proxy

We engineered a hybrid solution using Webflow as a powerful, visual CMS for content editors, while serving the site through a custom Reverse Proxy Architecture. This allowed us to inject custom application logic, handle secure authentication for patient portals, and maintain strict SEO control, all while giving the marketing team the agility of a visual builder.

/nginx/sites-available/myheco.conf
server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    server_name myheco.com;
    # Reverse Proxy to Webflow CMS
    location / {
        proxy_pass https://proxy-ssl.webflow.com;
        proxy_set_header Host myheco.webflow.io;
        # Custom Header Injection for Security
        add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
        add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";
        # Edge Caching Logic
        proxy_cache my_cache;
        proxy_cache_valid 200 60m;
        proxy_cache_use_stale error timeout updating;
    }
    # Dedicated API Route for Patient Data
    location /api/v1/patient {
        proxy_pass http://internal-api-cluster;
    }
}

Reverse Proxy Layer

A centralized Nginx layer intercepts all traffic. It routes content requests to Webflow and authenticated application requests to secure Node.js microservices, masking the complexity from the user.

Centralized CMS

Utilized Webflow CMS Collections to structure medical procedures, doctor profiles, and locations. This "No-Code" database empowers the content team to publish updates instantly.

Data Sync Engine

Custom Node.js middleware synchronizes availability data from the EHR (Electronic Health Record) system directly into the CMS every 15 minutes via Webflow API.

HIPAA Compliance

Sensitive patient data is never stored in the CMS. The proxy layer ensures that all PHI (Protected Health Information) is routed strictly to encrypted, HIPAA-compliant backend services.

CloudFront Caching

We implemented AWS CloudFront as a CDN layer in front of the reverse proxy. This allows us to cache static assets and CMS content at the edge, reducing latency for users globally.

  • check Cache Hit Ratio > 95%
  • check Global TTFB < 50ms

Structured Data & Schema

Dynamic JSON-LD injection for every medical service and doctor profile. The reverse proxy injects schema.org markup before serving the HTML, ensuring search engines fully understand the context.

  • check Rich Snippets for Doctors
  • check Automated XML Sitemap

Sprint Reduction

The Myheco platform has become a case study in how to balance marketing agility with enterprise-grade security. By decoupling the content layer from the application logic via a reverse proxy, we empowered the marketing team to own their destiny while the engineering team focused on critical healthcare features.
