World-class web sites for dentists
Dental WebSmith
Opening new channels of patient communications
Our Services

Promoting your practice online is our specialty! We focus exclusively on providing your practice with a world-class presence. Our design department is lead by a software professional with over 20 years experience specializing in user interface design (how people use computers) and our clinical team is headed by a practicing dentist and a practicing hygienist with over 35 years of combined experience.

Other practice marketing companies do a great job of providing overall marketing services, but when you want a World-Class web site that will stand out above the crowd, you need to call in a specialist. That's where we come in. We can even blend your web site with the rest of your marketing efforts by incorporating your logo and other elements. Your web site needs to be something more than an afterthought!

Take a closer look at what we do:


Web Site Design

We start by helping you select a web site address if you don't have one already. Then we send you a simple questionnaire to fill out. Most choices are simple check boxes. From that questionnaire, we build the prototype of your site for your review. When the prototype meets your expectations, we begin building the actual site. You can have a little or a lot of input along the way.

We have an extensive library of patient education pages, all of which can be tailored to your practice. Detailed descriptions can be modified to match your practice philosophy. Illustrative sketches and before and after photographs can be supplemented with, or replaced by, images from your practice.


Hosting and Support

We treat your web site as a Mission Critical piece of your practice.

Your web site is not located on one or two computers in a single location with a single point of failure phone line. We utilize redundants servers in a secure environment with multiple high-speed connections via multiple carriers to the Internet backbone. We also maintain an emergency backup site 30 miles away, also with redundant servers, redundant connections and full battery backup. Additionally, your web site data is secured in a third location to ensure integrity.

Both the primary and secondary hosting sites have daily updates to virus protection software and full-time support to ensure that your web site is up when your patients are!

We manage your entire web presence.

Support includes all of the following:

  • Web site hosting
  • E-mail accounts or redirection
  • Domain renewal
  • Site usage statistics provided monthly
  • Ongoing search engine submissions and optimization
  • Changes to your web site as needed
  • Exclusivity radius
  • Unlimited toll-free telephone support

The Truth about Search Engine Placement (SEP)!

Search engine placement is important, but legitimate web developers don't violate the submission guidelines of the major search engines. Some developers "guarantee" a top ranking in the search engines, but utilize improper and deceptive techniques such as hidden links, cloaking, sneaky redirects, redundant domains, and "doorway" pages to get them. These techniques are prohibited by the major search engines and put the domain name at risk for being totally and permanently removed from the search engines! Guess who suffers most when this happens!

You own the domain name

Some developers don't let you own your domain name (your "dot com" name). This "locks you in" to a particular provider and that's never good.

We build your web site under a domain name that you own. If you ever decide to have someone else build a web site for you, you can use the same domain name.

Autoplay CDs

We can create customized CDs with your iPIX virtual tour including a link to your web site. These can be mailed to new patients or to residents that are new to the area. The CDs play in a computer CD-ROM drive and can be silk-screened with your office logo.

Flash Animation

A unique, custom Macromedia Flash introduction can be added to your site. To see an example, visit Desert Dental Alternatives.

We can also incorporate Flash throughout the site with techniques such as morphing images. Two examples are given below:
