DentistLink – Powered by WordPress

A redesigned website for DentistLink, a free non-profit referral service connecting Washington residents to dental care. DentistLink is supported by Arcora Foundation, the foundation of Delta Dental of Washington.

Page load speed was improved thru a 64% reduction in overall page size, a 21% reduction in web server requests, and a new WPEngine hosting platform. The new Theme integrates the WordPress Gutenberg Block Editor for more advanced layout and styling options. A Google Translate feature makes the site more accessible to under-served populations.

My latest collaborative website project for the Washington Dental Service Foundation’s Access to Baby & Child Dentistry program. This re-branded site includes a fresh logo and updated color palette by David Owen Hastings, a password-protected online toolkit for dental coordinators, and an online database of ABCD-certified dentists. Powered by WordPress, of course.

Scott has worked on two websites for us. As a non-profit organization we rely on websites to help us connect with partners and get our message out. WordPress allows a lot of flexibility and Scott is great with suggestions for optimum performance. We are so pleased with his responsiveness and expertise. Laura Smith – Washington Dental Service Foundation, President & CEO
