Dental website design

Measured on 23 August 2026 across the sites shown in our case studies, warm cache, repeat runs. The fastest is Smile Spot at 146ms; the lightest is Biltoft Dental at 11KB.

Why not WordPress

A typical dental site on a page-builder theme ships somewhere between 150KB and 250KB of HTML before a single image loads, then asks the browser to run a stack of plugin JavaScript on top. It needs hosting, it needs updating, and the plugins are the most common way small business sites get compromised.

A static site has none of that. The pages are built once and served as files from a global edge network. There is no database to query, no PHP to execute, no plugin surface to attack, and no monthly hosting bill. Cloudflare serves it free at the volumes a dental practice generates.

The trade-off is real and worth stating: you cannot log in and drag a new section around yourself. In practice most practices were never doing that anyway, and the ones who tried usually broke something. Changes come to us and go live in minutes.

What a build includes

• A custom build, not a template. We do not resell the same layout with your logo dropped in. Look through our case studies and no two sites are the same.
• Migration handled properly. Old URLs get redirected to their new equivalents. Migrations that skip this step are the most common way practices lose the rankings they already had.
• Forms, booking and tracking wired up. Enquiry forms that actually deliver, your booking system connected, and conversion tracking on every page rather than the booking page alone.
• An AHPRA compliance pass before launch. Testimonials, before-and-after photos, superlatives and specialist titles all get checked. We have found genuine breaches on inherited sites more than once.
• Schema markup and technical SEO from day one. Structured data, clean sitemaps, no accidental noindex, no soft 404s. The unglamorous work that decides whether any of the content can rank.
