Booking-first website for a 9-clinic dental group

A multi-location dental group was losing patients to a slow, unbookable website. We rebuilt it around one action: book an appointment.

Client Feedback

“The front desk got an hour of their day back, every day. That alone paid for the project inside a quarter.”

Chapter One

The Problem

Nine clinics shared one website with a single phone number, an 8-second load time and no online booking. 62% of mobile visitors left before the homepage finished rendering.

Before our intervention:

  • 8.2s largest contentful paint on 4G
  • Phone-only booking, 9am–6pm
  • One generic page for all nine clinics
Chapter Two

The Outcome

Phased rollout clinic by clinic with redirects mapped 1:1, plus staff training on the new admin panel.

After launch:

  • 1.1s largest contentful paint
  • 24×7 online booking with calendar sync
  • Nine ranked local landing pages
Deep Dive

How we designed and engineered it

01. Research

Discovery & Insights

We shadowed front-desk staff for two days, listened to 40 recorded calls and ran usability tests with 12 patients. The pattern was blunt: people wanted the nearest clinic, the next free slot, and the price.

02. Design

UX & System Design

A location-first information architecture, a persistent booking bar, and treatment pages written in plain language. Comic-style illustrations replaced stock photography of strangers in dental chairs.

03. Build

Engineering & Quality

Static-first rendering with server-side booking availability, a lightweight image pipeline and per-clinic landing pages generated from one CMS collection.
