These 5 Trends Will Make or Break Your Website

Learn the 5 leading trends you must have for your site in 2023.
Website trend #1: Photos and videos
2022 was the year of video. In 2023, that’s not going away.
A great photoshoot and video shoot are the cornerstones of any brand or website. Capturing your team in their natural habitat and interacting with patients builds unparalleled trust.
Your website will always struggle to attract new patients if you don’t have a professional photoshoot and video shoot.
Why? People buy from people they know, like, and trust.
Watch the Quickcast to get examples of top-notch videos and photos for dental offices.
Website trend #2: Large fonts + immersive experience
People want to get to the point and be able to understand everything they scan.
Make sure your homepage only displays your most important information.
DO use large fonts to make headlines stand out and key points made clear.
DON’T overload your homepage with irrelevant images or lots of info
Watch the Quickcast to get examples of dental websites that follow this trend very well.
Website trend #3: Simple + clean design
Minimalism is BACK!
Less content = concise and to the point.
Your website should be digestible, focusing on your photos and videos.
Watch the Quickcast for some excellent examples.
Website trend #4: Convenience is king
People like convenience and simple onboarding – especially busy moms and millennials.
Your website should be your Convenience Hub for new and current patients. How can you do this?
- Online scheduling
- Online forms
- Online payments
- Chat boxes
- Review integrations
- Give options
Bonus: Making your website convenient is great for nervous patients who hate talking on the phone.
In the Quickcast, Arron shares examples of third-party services that’ll make your website a Convenience Hub.
Website trend #5: Accessibility
Ok, this isn’t the sexiest of website trends… but it’s a MUST!
Your website has to be ADA-compliant. The ADA is the Americans with Disabilities Act, which protects people with disabilities from discrimination.
Your website has to be inclusive for everybody. That means:
- Adding alt tags on your images
- Making your website screen reader friendly
- Adding enough design contrast
- And so much more
In the Quickcast, Arron shares examples of what ADA compliance should look like.
Your developer should be experts in ADA compliance – be sure to ask them about this. At Roadside Dental Marketing, we make ADA compliance a standard on all our websites.
Don’t be stuck in 2007
If your website looks like it is stuck in 2007, it’s time to get with the times.
- Photos and videos provide personality and build trust.
- An immersive experience helps people take action quicker.
- Everyone loves a clean, simple design that evokes emotion and makes it easy to digest information.
- The whole world is moving online, and convenience is king!
- Let’s keep you safe and provide an all-inclusive experience with accessibility.
Your website is the central hub of your online presence. Is it truly representing you?
