How much does an orthodontic website cost?
+
We quote one fixed price, agreed before work starts, based on the number of pages, features, integrations and content. You get it within 1 business day of a free audit of your current site. There is no hourly billing.
How long does orthodontic website development take?
+
Most orthodontic sites take 4 to 8 weeks. Multi-office practices with many location and treatment pages take 8 to 12 weeks. You get a dated week-by-week plan before we start and a written update every week.
Have you built websites for orthodontists before?
+
No, and we say so. We are a website development company, not an orthodontic-only vendor. What carries over is the lead system we built for a rooftop solar installer: a page per service and area, cost explanations, click-to-call and every call and form tracked, which took it from no tracked leads to 7 to 10 enquiries a week.
Do I own the website, domain and accounts?
+
Yes, from day one: code, design, content, domain, hosting, Google Business Profiles, analytics and Search Console in your name. There is no lock-in, so you can take the site to another developer at any time.
We are on a monthly platform with our current ortho marketing vendor. How do we switch without losing what we have?
+
In the free audit we list what you own and what the vendor holds: domain, hosting, site files, Google Business Profiles, GA4, Search Console, ad accounts and tracking numbers. We help you move each into your name, rebuild the pages, redirect every old URL that ranks or has links, keep your main phone number and Google profiles unchanged, and set the launch so the old site stays up until the new one is live. Reviews stay on your Google profile, which you keep.
Can patients book a free consult online?
+
Yes. We embed your practice software's online scheduler, such as Ortho2 Edge Cloud's exam scheduling, or a booking tool like NexHealth or LocalMed. If you prefer a request form, it runs through a provider that signs a business associate agreement, with optional smile photo upload.
Is the website HIPAA compliant?
+
A website is not certified as HIPAA compliant. We route health information only to providers that sign a BAA or into your practice software, keep form contents out of analytics and ad platforms and post your privacy notices. Your practice and its counsel own compliance; we build to it.
Should we publish our prices?
+
That is your choice. The cost page works either way: it explains what changes the fee, what the fee includes, how insurance and HSA or FSA work and your payment options. Any zero-down offer or monthly amount carries the disclosures your lender or counsel requires.
How do you handle board certification and specialist wording?
+
We state each doctor's training exactly: dental school, orthodontic residency and "ABO-Board Certified" only where it is current. We follow the ADA Code's specialist wording and make sure no general dentist in the office appears to be a specialist. You confirm your state board's rules.
We have two or three offices. One site or several?
+
Usually one site with a page per office, each with its own hours, map, towns served and booking option, matched to that office's Google Business Profile. It keeps reviews, content and authority in one place.
We bought a practice or are opening a new one. Can the site be ready in time?
+
Yes, if we start early. We plan the launch against your opening date, keep the old phone number and Google profile where you are taking over a practice, redirect old pages that rank and set up consult tracking before the first patient calls.
Will a new website get us more consults?
+
We do not guarantee rankings or consult numbers. What a new site changes is how many visitors book: a consult button that works on a phone, separate parent and adult paths, a clear cost page and tracking that shows which source produced each consult.
How does our practice show up in ChatGPT and Google AI answers?
+
AI assistants lean on your Google profiles, your reviews and your own site. We write treatments, audiences, cost, hours and credentials as plain text, add Dentist and Person schema and make the site match every profile. No one can guarantee an AI mention, but a consistent, specific site gives assistants something accurate to cite.
What happens after launch?
+
You get 30 days of free support, then an optional care plan. We train your team to update hours, offers, team and cases in the CMS. If we slip a date because of us, the next month of support is free.
