In 2022, Dragana, the owner of Aestiva Dental, approached me to address a critical issue with their existing website. While the website had served the practice well, it needed an essential update: removing outdated photos of previous employees and adding new staff members. Ideally, this was a task that the Aestiva Dental staff should have been able to handle using their Content Management System (CMS). However, due to certain limitations in the site’s coding, I was brought in to make these updates.
Aestiva Dental is a reputable dental practice known for its commitment to delivering top-notch dental care and a personalized patient experience. While their website had been functional, it needed regular updates to reflect their current team and services accurately.
– Upon reviewing the website, it was evident that the source code prevented the Aestiva Dental staff from making essential updates themselves.
2. Updating Employee Information:*
– I edited the source code to remove outdated photos of previous employees and add new staff member profiles to ensure the site accurately reflected the current team.
3. Enhancing Website Functionality:*
– I introduced a plugin to the website to allow for the easy display of patient videos, enhancing patient engagement and trust.
4. Enabling CMS Control:*
– To empower the Aestiva Dental staff to manage their website independently, I worked on the site’s code to ensure it was compatible with their CMS.
5. Creating a User Manual:*
– I developed a user-friendly CMS manual tailored to Aestiva Dental’s specific needs, providing step-by-step instructions for content updates, ensuring a seamless transition to self-management.
In conclusion, the project for Aestiva Dental addressed an immediate need for website updates while also laying the foundation for long-term content management independence. By removing coding barriers, introducing new features, and providing comprehensive guidance, we have empowered Aestiva Dental to maintain an up-to-date and engaging online presence, aligning with their commitment to excellence in dental care and patient satisfaction.
