About Specialized Dental Partners
Specialized Dental Partners, a private equity-backed healthcare services organization, unites over 80 endodontic practices and more than 200 partners across the United States. They initiated a brand refresh, including an updated website to mirror their new branding.
Teaming up with Imaginovation, their goal was to enhance their online presence with a focus on user-friendly search and directory features. This effort aimed to showcase their practices better, attract endodontists, and convey their unique value in the healthcare sector.
The Challenge
Specialized Dental Partners' challenge was revitalizing their website to match their expanding brand. The primary objective was to overhaul their website, not just aesthetically but functionally – to make it more intuitive and user-friendly.
This involved enhancing search capabilities and directory functionalities, crucial for effectively connecting their extensive network of endodontic partners and patients. Additionally, they needed to communicate their unique business model and value proposition effectively, which sets them apart in the healthcare sector.
The website had to attract endodontists and provide a compelling and clear understanding of Specialized Dental Partners' operations and benefits, aiding business development and growth.
Our Strategy

The Discovery phase involved a comprehensive analysis of US Endo Partners' existing digital presence and new branding objectives. This stage was essential for clearly understanding the project's scope and specific requirements.
Phase 2
Planning
We concentrated on structuring the website's layout and functionalities in the Planning stage. This included determining the optimal arrangement of elements and features on each page to align with the client's goals and enhance user experience.

Phase 4

Our Development phase saw the transformation of our design vision into reality. Here, we integrated Netlify CMS for its advanced content management capabilities, including rich-text editing and drag-and-drop features. A dynamic backend dashboard was also developed for real-time content updates, adding versatility to the website.
Phase 5
Testing & Security
The Testing and security stage was thorough and meticulous. We rigorously tested every aspect of the website to ensure a flawless user experience. This step was crucial in refining the site's navigation and functionality, ensuring it met our high quality and security standards.
Phase 6

Finally, in the Launch & Maintenance phase, we deployed the admin panel in a separate environment, allowing the client to manage the site independently. We also ensured a smooth transition of web traffic from the old to the new website, with careful attention to maintaining continuity and user access.
