There are certain points that should be avoided while designing dental websites. To begin with you should totally avoid websites that are complicated. That is, your website should be the easiest to navigate and very user friendly. If you have a web design that is complicated then it is very difficult to navigate such websites.

We generally tend to see a lot of information on the things that you should add on to your website to make it more successful. But there is very less information available about what are the things that you should completely avoid doing on your website. So let's discuss that the things that you should avoid in your dental websites to make it highly successful.

Recent years have observed that the majority of the people browse through their smart phones, different browsing devices, different Internet speeds and also the use of various operating systems. So when creating a website for dentists that is complicated people who browse through such devices will find it uncomfortable to navigate. So designing a web site that is less complicated will increase the traffic towards your site and hence ...
... good awareness about your services among people. Always try to keep your site easy and simple with only the required information.

Also you should avoid the use of dark colors on your site. Dark colors make it very difficult to read while the viewers are using small devices. Also the font size you use should be big enough so that a person can easily read it from a foot away from the system. Or at least are not using reading glasses to read the content. Another mistake that we usually see while visiting different Website for dentists is that most of them do not make it clear that they are a dentist. Although this might seem a little funny, the fact is that most of the doctors try to add too many animations and figures to make the site child friendly.

They hardly realize that it is not the kids who are going to visit the web sites but the parents of these kids. Most of the parents try to get maximum information about your services you offer and other profession related information. They do a thorough research to ensure that they are getting their kids to the best dentist. So always avoid any moving or animated graphics that would actually distract the viewers from reading the required information. While creating the websites we are so involved in including the contents such as treatments and other services that we tend to forget to add the contact information.

In some cases even the contact information will be present in a place where it is hardly noticeable. Always ensure that every page in the website for dentist has the contact information and most importantly phone number. Also make sure that every page has this information right at the same place so that it is much easier to locate. While including this detail on your content see to it that the phone number is written in bold and big size so that it makes it easier to notice while browsing through smart phones or other small devices. If you also have any “after call services” then do provide the same details along with the corresponding phone numbers. This will prove to be a great selling point to your business.
