Coming up with appropriate web content and design is like dressing up properly. You wouldn't wear pyjamas for a job interview or a suit for a trip to the beach. Why write for medical professionals if your products and services are for the benefit of patients themselves?
Writing an article about a certain illness? Don't fill it up with medical jargon so much that your readers would be as puzzled as they are on the topic. If you need to mention difficult terms, make sure you tell your readers what these terms mean. Most of your readers are going to be people who self-diagnose or patients too afraid to ask their doctors for more information about their conditions.
Put yourself in the shoes of your readers. You wouldn't want to be given false hopes but at the same time you didn't expect to be shocked. If you're talking about cancer, stick to the facts.

The same principle applies to website design. If you're developing a website for a school, your primary task should be to appeal to your prospective students and their parents. Pick a design that would show that the school takes education seriously while providing a fun and well-balanced environment. Do your visitors access your site from smart phones? Design an easily navigable site for the platform instead of simplifying your non-mobile portal.
