This is a quick message to Indicate the importance of having a web Site :
A website is a fairly inexpensive business tool that serves a purpose for both you and your clients. A website is a fairly inexpensive business tool that serves a purpose for both you and your clients.
Once you have a website you can list your website address on your business cards, flyers and pamphlets, bulletin boards and even the company sign that you have hanging on the side of your building. In fact, you can save money on these other marketing tools by having a website. For example, you can feature an electronic version of your catalog on your website, with no limit on size. You can describe all of your products and services in greater detail because space on your website is significantly less expensive then full color print. And what happens if you need to make a change, such as if you delete or add products or services? Are you going to reprint all of your printed marketing materials? On a website, you have the ability to make the necessary changes at no additional costs.
For your clients, they will have the convenience of reading about your company and the services and products you offer on their own time. In today’s world, people lead very busy lives when you consider the commitment of their careers and family. By having a well presented website, you lend yourself to the convenience of your clients. They can come to you when they want to. If you add a “Contact Us” link onto your website, it allows your customers to contact you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can drive traffic to your site to learn all about your company and what you have to offer. Your clients can get a much better idea about your business because you can feature multiple pages on your site with greater details about the different aspects of your company, products and services. You can even provide directions to your place of business, making it easier for customers to find you.
By having a web presence, you expand your market significantly. You make yourself available to people in other time zones and even across the globe rather than the limited market audience you can reach in your local geographical area. And at a fraction of the cost! With a website there is less need to send out expensive mailings to purchased mail lists that are often unreliable. Even those mailings that do make it to the target audience are thrown away without ever being looked at.
Internet advertising is more targeted to a specific audience. The clients who visit your website are there because they have a specific interest in your company’s product or service, which you can use to your advantage. You can allow customers or potential customers to sign up for a newsletter or sales flyer, which you can send to them via e-mail. By collecting e-mail addresses from willing visitors to your website you can stay in contact with them without having to pay for printing or postage.

The answer to information and also details is the world wide web. Hence, if you want to make your practice a household name in your geographical area, it is wise to open up your dental practice website since it is a lot cheaper compare to traditional advertising.
Have you got any idea just how much it cost to promote in the newspaper each week or have your own billboard these days. The cost of these traditional forms of advertising if done regularly is the same as your one year salary. That’s correct!! Creating an image and name that people could trust is no longer cheap. Therefore what is your alternative, what else but a dental practice website.
There is a lot of competition out there much more in dental care, that is why you need a website. If you can dominate the SERP (search engine results page) you can establish your dental practice as the best or one of the elite in the dentistry industry.
Apart from creating an image that potential clients can rely and trust, you can use your dental practice website as tool to spread new details and tips to help individuals take proper care of their teeth. Having a site will let individuals know if you have special offers at the present time.
You’ll be able to put hours of operation and days on there. On top of this, any promos or discount rates your clinic is throwing away to your loyal customers can be easily viewed and seen by internet user. It is a fact it doesn’t matter how great you are in your chosen career but if your network is limited to friends, close contact, family members and acquaintances you can never succeed and even if you do, it would take time especially if your practice is just starting out.
You can make your site elegant, contemporary or what ever you want, the possibilities are unlimited.
