Wills Eye Super Speciality Pvt. Ltd. is an eye hospital at Colonel Chowmuhani, Agartala, serving patients from across Tripura. It offers cataract surgery, retina surgery, squint, glaucoma, cornea, paediatric ophthalmology and oculoplasty, and is empanelled for EHS, CGHS, DGEHS and corporate and bank TPA patients.
The challenge
The hospital's previous website was a set of static PHP pages, and its forms did one thing: open a WhatsApp message. An appointment request lived only in a chat — it was not saved by the website, and there was no way to see which requests had been followed up.
Patients also come from across Tripura, and often search for a treatment and a town — cataract surgery near Udaipur, say — rather than for the hospital's name. The old site had no pages for treatments or towns, and every change to its content needed a developer.
Our solution
Meta Mint rebuilt the site in Laravel around a proper appointment flow and a content panel the hospital manages itself.
- Appointment booking that is recorded. A booking page and a booking bar on the homepage take the patient's details and preferred date. Each request is saved, emailed to the front desk and appears in an inbox where staff mark it new, contacted, scheduled or closed, and export it to CSV. The flow is also built to forward bookings to the hospital's OPD system, and a request is never lost if the email or that hand-off fails.
- Treatment and town pages. Each of the seven specialities has its own page, and nine town pages — from Agartala and Udaipur to Dharmanagar — speak to patients by where they live. Guide pages such as the cost of cataract surgery in Agartala answer the questions patients ask before they call.
- Insurance made clear. A TPA and insurance page lists the empanelments and insurers, so patients know before they visit.
- Self-managed content. Doctors, services, towns, blog, FAQs, patient stories, photo and video galleries, menus and pages are all editable, with staff roles and an audit log of who changed what.
How we delivered it
The rebuild ran from July to October 2026. The service catalogue was narrowed to the seven specialities the hospital actually offers, and old .php addresses from the static site were redirected permanently so existing links and search listings carry over.
Forms are protected with reCAPTCHA, a honeypot, rate limits, an Indian mobile-number check and duplicate-submission tokens. Each page carries medical structured data — clinic, physician, conditions and procedures — and the site is covered by an automated test suite run against MySQL.
