Common Dental Website Mistakes

Creating a successful dental website can be a challenge, even if you’re a professional web designer. Not to mention if you’re a dentist who is just trying to care for patients! Many people, even dentists, still tend to underestimate the importance of a well-designed website, and the effect it can have on your dental practice. Your website is one of your most important marketing tools, so make sure you’re doing it correctly.

4 Common Mistakes Made When Setting Up a Dental Website:

1. Complicated web designs – Make sure your website design is simple. Many patients will be using different browsers, devices, and operating systems, and complicated designs don’t always work well along each of these platforms. Stick to light colors and large, easy-to-read fonts.
2. Making your contact info hard to find – Your phone number is the most important part of your site. It’s important that this information is on each page of your website, along the top, bottom, or sides of the page. This makes it easy for potential patients to call and make an appointment.
3. Leaving the site alone – Successful websites are kept up-to-date with new social networking buttons, blogs or articles with information about the latest dental technology, and updated images. This will increase the amount of traffic to your site as well as let your current patients know that you care about educating them.
4. Allowing amateur web-designers to set up your site – It’s true that you get what you pay for. This is why it’s important to avoid leaving your valuable internet marketing to amateur web-designers. Hire a professional who can help you bring in more high-value patients with just the click of a button. Give your dental website the priority that it deserves.
