It’s been a very long time since the GDC updated their guidelines on the ‘Principles of Ethical Advertising’ but I continue to stumble across non-compliant dental websites. And it’s not just the GDC website owners need to be aware of, are you familiar (and adhering to) the EU Cookie Law and are you using secure forms for your online referrals, as required by the ICO?
There’s a lot more to website design – especially for dentists – than a pretty homepage so take 5 minutes to check your website is compliant – or better still, give us a call and we’ll do it for you!
There are a lot of advantages of being a dental specific website design agency, and compliance is once of them.
Here at Dental Design, we will check your website and make sure it is compliant and if you fall short in any area, we will update it for FREE! Give us a call on 01202 677277 if you want us to take a look at your site.
