Rx 02 — WEBSITES & BRAND SYSTEM
Medical practice websites and brand systems for multi-location groups
CC — PRESENTING COMPLAINT
The site isn't the brochure. It's the front desk.
We rebuild brand and site the way you'd renovate a clinical space — for throughput, on an instrumented stack, without closing the practice while we work.
BRAND ARCHITECTURE
One national brand, or fifty local ones
This is usually an argument already running inside the group — most often inside a dental group or DSO, where the founder's name is on three of the buildings and the chief executive wants one mark over all of them. Consolidate under one corporate identity, or keep every practice’s local name, face and feel and run the sophistication underneath.
We build for both, and we do not have a house position on which is right for you. Some groups gain from a single brand: recruiting is easier, media buys once, and the standard is legible from outside. Others know a real slice of their market will never book the corporate dentist, and that local names are an asset an acquisition paid for.
What does not change is the engine. Same instrumented stack, same templates, same measurement, same attribution, whichever way the front end goes — which is the only reason a multi-specialty platform can run one engine underneath brands that will never share a logo. Scale does not have to cost you the local trust that fills the chair.
What we will not do is recommend a rebrand because it is the larger project.
02.1
The brand system, and the operator card that carries it
One system a multi-location network can actually hold — applied by front-desk staff and regional managers, not designers.
02.2
Hub and location templating
The hub carries authority. The locations carry conversion. Two jobs, two templates, one system.
SIGNAL
Site → consult conversion, per template.
02.3
Site rebuild on an instrumented stack
Every call, form, and booking attributed from first click to chair. If it can't be measured, it doesn't ship.
SIGNAL
Attribution coverage across contact paths.
02.4
Photography, videography and illustration direction
Real operators, real rooms. Stock reads as stock — patients can tell, and so can diligence teams.
INSTRUMENTS
What gets measured on the new site from day one
A rebuild that ships without instrumentation is a redesign, and a redesign is an opinion. Before launch, every contact path is attributed end to end — call, form, chat, booking — and the definitions are frozen so the post-launch numbers can be compared with the pre-launch ones.
What gets read from the first week: attribution coverage across contact paths, expressed as the share of booked patients traceable from first click to chair; site-to-consult conversion by template, so the hub and the location pages are judged on different jobs; and page performance where it affects conversion rather than where it affects a score.
The comparison that matters is against the site being replaced, on the same definitions, which is why the baseline is taken before anything is built. A new site that cannot be measured against the old one has no way of proving it earned its cost, and that is the position most rebuilds put their owners in.
NOT IN SCOPE
What we will not do: a logo refresh as a standalone
A new mark, a new palette and a guidelines PDF, sold as a project and delivered as a deck. It is the easiest thing to sell in this category, the easiest to approve, and among the least likely to change anything on the income statement.
The objection is not aesthetic. It is that identity work of that kind is usually commissioned when the group can feel that something is wrong and has not yet found out what — and it consumes the budget and the appetite that the actual constraint needed. Twelve months later the mark is nicer, the front desk still misses a third of its calls, and the group has spent the year’s discretionary money finding that out.
Brand work is in scope when it is carrying something: a hub-and-location structure, a consolidation, a rebuild, an operator card that regional managers actually apply. As a standalone engagement it is not, and we will say so rather than take it.
SEQUENCED WITH — nothing here runs alone
Rx 01 · ACQUISITION
Traffic lands on pages built to convert it.
Rx 03 · INTAKE & OPS
The site hands off to a desk that answers.
The order comes from the diagnosis, not the org chart — see the five-phase method, or all five categories.
