How do new patients find a dental practice?
Having your own website will let people know who you are, where you are, and will give an insight and feel of your practice. This leads to potential patients for your dental practice, as they are able to find your dental practice easily.
If you've ever tried to find a dental practice in your area and no website came up, you would most likely click onto the next one which does. Let’s face it, we all like to look around a restaurant and their menu before we make any decisions. Research tells us 89% of visitors would visit a website first before they contacted them. We would do the same with a dental practice. We like to look at the treatments, team members, and the reviews, etc…
Your website design should be informative, interesting, and really should be a mirror of your dental practice. If you’re selling luxury and exclusivity, your website should show that. If the family-friendly and approachable practice are more like you, your website should convey that. Quality content on a dental website reflects the expertise and professionalism of the practice. And is likely to produce a good return on investment (ROI) by generating more patients. Remember first impression counts and great websites do your marketing for you.
Do First Impressions Count?
First impressions really do count. That first page that opens up on your site is what will determine whether that user stays – or bounces off to a competitor dental pracitce.
A great dental website is focused on getting a patient to make an appointment. That won't happen if the contact details are invisible or difficult to find.
Make sure your contact channels are accessible in your first fold. That patient might be looking for a second opinion and might want to send an email explaining their case. The patient may have a dental emergency and might be on the road. The viewer may require easy access to click a live telephone number to make a quick call to you while on-route. So, make sure it's mobile-friendly.
Making Your Website Stand Out From The Crowd
Make your website design intuitive too. The menu and buttons should be prominent and easy to use. Make it as easy for the patient to contact you as possible. Let's face it, we like easy. One-click from the homepage to complete a form and we are in.
A clean and simple dental website design is easy on the eye and simple to use. It is professional – without having to try too hard.
The competition starts on Google– the place most people start when looking for a new dentist.
