How Much Your Website Will Cost

Be careful when shopping for websites. Any that are exceptionally cheap generally are made from templates, and the company will customize stock content for you. Websites like that are banned from the Google index, and we get calls from dentists wondering why they get no traffic and what to do about it.

We will not build a website that gets no traffic. Thus, all of our website packages include professionally written, customized content. We have no "stock content" or "website templates." Search engines are looking for unique content, and the only way to attract them is to write every website from scratch.

And Infinity Dental Web offers you something no other dental website company does—guaranteed results. Our pricing is based on the amount of traffic you want us to guarantee for you. Here are our standard prices. Every project, however, is different, and we can customize your project to meet your particular needs.

You may notice that our terminology is different from all the other website companies. Terminology like "Platinum platform" or "Diamond website" suggest a thought process that doesn't go beyond the appearance of the website. We have chosen a terminology that focuses on the performance of the website. Hence we have our "Starter", "Performance", "High-Profile", and "Dominating" website packages.

Some Guidelines on Which Package to Choose

As you look over these packages, you need to realize how powerful these websites are. A performance level website, even though it is our lowest level, is as powerful or more powerful than a platinum or premium website package from the competition. When you go up from that, you are talking about incredibly powerful websites. And one thing to keep in mind is that your credentials and reputation, as well as your market area, need to be strong enough to take advantage of the website.

The dominating exclusive package is reserved for the top 20 metropolitan areas in the United States, and for equivalent cities in foreign countries. You should consider one of these websites only if you have the skills and reputation to make prospective patients feel like it is worth their while to travel to your office from the other side of the metropolitan area.

The dominating package is four times as powerful as the performance package. It usually makes sense only for market areas of at least 250,000, and again, the dentist should have the skills and reputation necessary to attract patients away from other highly competitive practitioners. In some cases, the dentist may be practicing in a smaller community, but has the capacity to draw patients from around the state or from nearby states. Please understand that successful dental marketing involves creating trust with information of substance, and that hype really doesn't work well. So to take full advantage of this powerful website, you need to have substance to what you are offering prospective patients.

The high profile package is twice as powerful as the performance package, and it makes sense for a variety of situations. It can dominate a smaller market area of about 100,000 population, but it can also carve out a pretty strong niche in a larger metropolitan area. It probably is too powerful for market areas of say 15,000 or less, unless the dentist has the ability to draw patients from a distance.

Performance website package: $2595 plus $179/month once website goes into maintenance.
Or - $1000 down and $299/month for 11 more months,
$179/month after that.
(Monthly maintenance fee: $40, Monthly SEO: $139)
Plus $5-15/month call tracking (optional)
500 visits per month, guaranteed.*
An estimated 2-8† new patients/month.
This package is roughly equivalent to a top-of-the-line website from some of our competitors. When we take over one of these websites from these competitors, we typically find traffic in the range of 100 to 400 visits per month.

High-Profile website package: $4495 plus $355/month once website goes into maintenance.
Or - $1500 down and $579/month for 11 more months,
$355/month after that.
(Monthly maintenance fee: $45, Monthly SEO: $310)
Plus $5-30/month call tracking (optional).
(A content management website is an additional $15/month.)
1000 visits per month, guaranteed.*
An estimated 5-20† new patients/month.
A high-profile website will dominate a smaller market area, such as a city of under 100,000 people, or a suburban area. And realize that, while this is not our highest level, that 1000 visits a month is huge compared to what other dental websites are getting. We have one high-profile website that is the most heavily trafficked dental website in the client's state.

Dominating website package: $7495 plus $625/month once website goes into maintenance.
Or - $2000 down and $1040/month for 11 more months,
$625/month after that.
(Monthly maintenance fee: $45, Monthly SEO: $580)
Plus $10-30/month call tracking (optional)
(A content management website is an additional $15/month.)
2000 visits per month, guaranteed.*
An estimated 10-40† new patients/month.
Keep in mind that this is a very powerful website, and it requires a larger metropolitan area of 250,000 population minimum. It has the capacity to attract patients from a distance, and it will be most effective if the dentist has the skills and reputation to make a patient feel it is worth her while to travel from the other side of the city.

Dominating Exclusive website package: $9995 to 11,995 depending on the competitiveness of the market and the amount of work we estimate it will take us to get you to the top of that market. Plus, the monthly SEO is $730.
Monthly payment plans are available. Down payment would be $2500, with payments of $1320 to $1512 per month for 11 months, $730/mo after that.
(Monthly maintenance fee: $45, Monthly SEO: $685)
Plus $10-40/month call tracking (optional)
(A content management website is an additional $15/month.)
2500 visits per month, guaranteed* after 12 months. 3000 visits per month guaranteed after 18 months.
Dominating Exclusive websites are personally custom written and maintained by Dr. Hall, and he will work to get you a number one ranking for your primary search term. Plus, you are guaranteed exclusivity within your market for Dr. Hall's optimization work.
An estimated 15-50† new patients/month.
To be able to handle a dominating exclusive website, the dentist needs the reputation and skills to be able to draw and hold patients from a wide geographic area. We reserve websites this powerful for only the top 20 metropolitan areas in the United States.

Costs of SEO Services

If you have a well-designed website but don't have many visitors, you can hire us to do search engine optimization. See our seo services page for more details.

Using a Design Theme

You can save $900 to $1300 off the cost of your website if you'd like to use one of our themes for your design. You choose a basic layout of your website, customize it with your own colors, logo, and images, and we pass the savings from these efficiencies on to you. Click here to see some samples of our design themes.

And we want to stress that using a theme only creates efficiencies in the design, not in the content of your website. We always write the content for each client from scratch, so that every website has unique content. Anything less than that is penalized by the search engines and will depress traffic rather than attract it.

Upgrading

After we publish your website, you can, if you choose, upgrade from one level to another by paying the difference between the cost of the new package minus what you already paid. Certain restrictions and exclusions may apply and certain charges and policies could change with time, so contact us with your project request if you are considering an upgrade.

"High-Profile" and "Dominating" web designs include high-end designs with flash or other advanced design elements. If you would like a "Performance" package but want a higher-end design with that, plan on a cost of about $500. Similarly, if your focus is on performance and you don't feel like you need sophisticated design features, you can significantly trim the cost of a "Dominating" or "High Profile" website.

If you later want to do a major expansion or overhaul of your website, plan on a cost of about $100 to $200 per page, depending on what you want done with it.

All websites include:

• A comprehensive custom marketing plan designed to attract to your office the kinds of people you want to see and the types of procedures you want to do.
• A great graphic design to impress your visitors.
• A description of the services you provide.
• A Doctor bio for each doctor in the practice, as well as an "about the staff" page if that information is made available to us.
• A smile gallery displaying your work, if you have work to display.
• Plenty of searchable content, expertly optimized for search engines to be able to direct visitors to your site.
• Inclusion in "Google Local" "Yahoo Local" and "Bing Local" business listings as well as optimization for high placement.
• Make-an-appointment page (lets your visitor fill in their telephone number and preferred appointment times, so that you can call them).
• Practice hours.
• Map to your office and directions.
• Financial arrangements options explained, if you choose to do so.
• Unlimited e-mail accounts.
• Many other features.
• All hosting and e-mail charges are included in the maintenance fees.

High-Profile and Dominating Websites Include

• An enhanced graphic design, including the use of flash on the home page.
• Free set-up of a unique toll-free telephone number so that you can accurately track all calls originating from visitors to your website, and recording of those phone calls so that you can monitor how your prospective patients are being handled on the phone. (Ongoing costs of the toll-free number will be in the neighborhood of five to nine cents per minute.)
• Facebook marketing. To pull this off requires the cooperation of your office staff, but we will help you set up your Facebook fan page and guide you through the process of getting it to promote your practice.
• Blogging. Blogging is such an important part of good Internet marketing, that we completely take care of the blog for you without your having to do anything. We tie the blog into your overall website promotion, which builds up your site traffic and your site reputation with search engines.
• YouTube marketing. Again, for this we need the cooperation of your office. We can create a YouTube channel for you and help you post content, but you will need to take the videos yourself.

Optional features available for additional costs

Remember that the packages listed above are a guide. If you have needs that don't fit into any of these "packages," we can provide for those needs. We will be as flexible as necessary in order to meet the marketing needs of your practice. You can have us maintain or upgrade your existing website, for example, or provide any of a number of additional "bells and whistles."

• A walk-on spokesperson may be something that interests you. It can be used to introduce your website when visitors log on, or to explain the unique benefits of your practice. The spokesperson can be the doctor, a member of your staff, or a paid model.
• Extensive embedded video where you explain procedures, explain your office philosophy, introduce staff, tour the office, or have patients give testimonials can be impressive. We will embed some video at no charge, but if you want extensive or elaborate video presentations, that is extra.
• If you want background music, we can add that. However, studies show that it annoys most visitors and chases some away. So we strongly discourage the use of background music. But if you insist on it, we'll add it. It isn't hard at all to do. Be sure that, for any music that you use, you pay the royalties to acquire the rights to use that music.
• We can provide any other feature you have seen on other websites. Our technical and design people are up to speed with all the latest gimmicks, and if you have seen it somewhere else, we are confident that we can do the same for your site.

A note of caution on bells and whistles: Our lengthy direct experience with the Internet marketing of dentistry is that web visitors are looking for substance, and glitz can be overdone. It can end up being a negative because it creates the impression that you have slick marketing and a shallow practice. Visitors are looking for dentists they can trust, where there is substance to the practice. A website with glitz over substance creates the impression that the dentistry is also glitz over substance—not a good impression to give people.

Dominating Exclusive

If you want to be number one in your market, we offer a Dominating Exclusive website. We only allow one of these Dominating Exclusive websites in each market. There is an extra fee for this, which will vary depending on the competitiveness of your target market area. For example, it will cost more to create a Dominating Exclusive website in Manhattan than it will in Sacramento. With this website, Dr. Hall will personally write all of your content and will monitor your performance and provide continued search engine optimization. This will guarantee you maximum competitiveness for that market.

Maintenance

In order to maintain search engine ranking, it requires keeping your site content fresh. Google downgrades static sites, so this part of our services is very important. Achieving a high ranking also requires building links with other websites, and we have a strong link-building program headed by Jenni Moreno, our link-building specialist.

Maintenance also includes any minor updates that you may have, such as new staff members, new services, etc. It also includes other special requests. For example, one client ran an "Invisalign Open House" event. For a couple of weeks we posted a copy of their print ad on the site along with other details about the promotion. Others have done Halloween candy buy-back projects, or other events requiring announcement on the website. It doesn't take us long to post these things, and we're happy to provide that service. For substantive and structural changes, we will always give you an estimate before any work is done.

*Here is our guarantee: If, after one year of your site being up, you do not have the guaranteed amount of traffic, as measured by the popular Webalizer website statistics program, your ongoing maintenance and SEO will be free until that traffic level is attained.

†A note on the number of patients. Don't expect these new patient numbers right away. The performance of a website in the search engines is strongly correlated to the trustworthiness given the site by the search engines, which takes time to develop. Expect patient numbers near the lower end of the scale within the first year, and continuing to increase after that. If you want to speed that process, we can set you up with a pay-per-click advertising campaign to couple with your website.
