CASE STUDY — DENTAL CLINIC WEBSITE

A dental website that feels
as calm as the clinic itself.

A complete redesign for Oakwell Dental Studio, with a confident new brand presence, clear treatment and fee pages, and online booking in under a minute.

PLATFORM SCOPE: FULL-STACK CLINIC PLATFORM & REBRAND
< 60s Online Booking
100% Fee Transparency
Mobile-First Responsive Design

A first impression worthy of the care inside.

Oakwell is an independent family dental studio. Patients loved the clinic, but the old website didn’t reflect it: it looked dated, hid key information and only let people book by phone. We took the project from content strategy and UX through visual design to a fast, fully managed website.

Great dentistry, hidden behind an old website.

For most new patients, the website is the first visit to the clinic. Oakwell’s site wasn’t answering their questions or making it easy to take the next step, so people left to look elsewhere.

01

A dated first impression

The old site looked clinical and generic, and didn’t show the warm, modern studio that patients found in person.

02

Phone-only booking

Patients could only book during opening hours by phone, so evening and weekend visitors left without booking.

03

Unclear treatments and fees

Treatment information was thin and prices were missing, which raised doubts for people comparing clinics.

04

Weak on mobile and search

Most visitors arrived on a phone from local search, but pages were slow and hard to use on small screens.

Strategy, design and build under one roof.

Arcrux delivered the website end to end. Because one team owned the content, the design and the code, every page was shaped around what patients need to feel confident and book.

01

UX strategy & content

We mapped what new and returning patients look for, restructured the sitemap, and rewrote every page in a clear, reassuring voice.

  • Patient journeys & sitemap
  • Content & tone of voice
  • Local SEO structure
02

Visual & UI design

We refreshed the brand for the web with a soft palette, an editorial serif and warm photography direction, built on a reusable design system.

  • Brand refresh for web
  • Design system & components
  • Photography art direction
03

Web development

We built a fast, accessible website on a CMS the clinic team can update, connected to their practice software for live online booking.

  • Responsive CMS build
  • Online booking integration
  • Performance & accessibility

A website designed around the patient journey.

We organised the new site around three moments that matter: booking an appointment, previewing treatment options, and trusting the clinical team. Every page helps the visitor take the next step.

03 // TRUST & REASSURANCE

Real people, verified credentials, real reviews.

Nervous patients want to know who will treat them. Team profiles, credentials and genuine Google reviews sit throughout the site, so trust is built at every step on the way to booking.

Team profiles & credentials Google reviews integration Warm studio photography Accessible, readable layouts
DESIGN SYSTEM

Calm, confident and
quietly premium.

A trustworthy blue palette, an editorial serif and generous spacing give the studio a modern, reassuring presence. Every element is a reusable token or component, so the clinic’s site stays consistent as it grows.

What changes for the clinic.

The new website works like a calm, well-informed receptionist: it answers questions, builds trust and takes bookings at any hour, so the front desk can focus on patients in the studio.

01

Bookings around the clock

Patients can book a visit in the evening or at the weekend, without waiting for the phone lines to open.

02

Fewer routine calls

Clear treatment pages, fees and FAQs answer the questions that used to fill the front desk’s day.

03

A brand that builds trust

Warm design, real people and genuine reviews give new patients the confidence to choose the clinic.

“A clinic’s website is its first appointment. We designed Oakwell’s to feel as calm, clear and caring as the studio itself.”
