The Client
Santé Dental, a leading dental clinic in Brussels, prides itself on delivering exceptional dental care using cutting-edge technology and personalized service. Despite their stellar reputation, their online presence didn’t reflect their commitment to excellence. That’s where we came in.
The Problem
When Santé Dental approached us, their website faced several challenges:

- Not Mobile-Friendly: The site was clunky on mobile devices, alienating users who accessed it via smartphones.
- Difficult to Manage: The backend system was complex, making it hard for the clinic to update content regularly.
