Trust Through Design: How a Beautiful Website Reflects a Beautiful Smile

Your patients form an opinion about your practice in just 50 milliseconds—faster than you can blink.

Discover the three-part trust test that separates websites that convert patients from those that lose them before the phone ever rings.
