Website
Five Second Challenge
Are the top items on your list things you want visitors to take away?
- Is it easy to find a way to contact you?
- What is your overall first impression?
- Does your site reflect what a patient would find in your clinic?
Why is a website important?
Your website helps the patient get information, meet your team, and sense your practice before they enter your office. Often it’s where patients form their first impressions of your clinic, so there should be an emotional connection while maintaining professionalism. An effective website can help grow your patient base and improve overall satisfaction among your current patients with the care they receive.
Main considerations for a successful site
In a study of two billion web visits over a month, 55% spent less than 15 seconds actively on a page1. Because a user needs only 15 seconds to decide whether they’re interested in your practice, it’s important to create a strategy that sparks dialogue from their very first click on your site:
Know your audience:
Understand your target audience to help determine your content and how communication will take place. Remember to include:

- Vision care products and services

- Contact us (make this highly visible and include your phone number, address, and social media links)
- Book an appointment (provide a link if your site allows online booking)
