They focus on providing patient-centric care, combining professionalism with a welcoming environment, and aim to deliver a seamless experience both in-clinic and online.
The client faced several key challenges that were limiting their digital growth and online patient engagement:
The client required a professional and welcoming website that clearly showcased their comprehensive range of dental and cosmetic services, while making it easy for patients to navigate and find the information they needed.
Being a UK-based dental practice, compliance with CQC standards and GDPR was critical. The website had to include privacy policies, cookie notices, and other compliance elements to build patient trust and meet legal requirements.
They aimed to present detailed treatment information and transparent pricing in a structured, easy-to-understand format that enabled patients to make informed decisions without confusion.
The existing website lacked efficient inquiry and appointment booking flows. The client needed a seamless process to turn online visitors into confirmed patients, enhancing conversion rates.
