Within these packages you get a set of services and features for inclusion in your website.<\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;Packaging&#8221; &#8211; the up-sell:<\/h3>\n<p>So why do marketers &#8220;package&#8221; products and is buying into a package deal a good idea when compared to a truly bespoke design service? Let&#8217;s start by looking at what &#8220;packaging&#8221; a set of services is designed to achieve from the sellers perspective. First and foremost this concept allows a seller to &#8220;up-sell&#8221; their products and bolt-on additional items that in most cases you don&#8217;t want or need. A good example is the offer of a full flash website apparently designed to differentiate you from your competitors in highly competitive locations &#8211; no basis in fact there I&#8217;m afraid! Indeed this is particularly poor advice given that search engines do not rank flash websites at all well. However it would cost you a pretty penny if you didn&#8217;t know any different.<\/p>\n<p>The usual selling trick is to introduce you to a package that looks like it might fit the bill and then bolt on all of the &#8220;extras&#8221; &#8211; monthly support contracts, <a title=\"Search engine optimisation for dentists\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dental-media.co.uk\/dentist-search-engine-optimisation.html\">SEO<\/a> packs, fancy clinical images etc. Typically your budget is blown before you realise it and quite often you&#8217;ll find yourself with a costly monthly support contract to boot.<\/p>\n<h3>The &#8220;head designer&#8221;&#8230;.<\/h3>\n<p>The other question you may wish to ponder is why would a design agency offer you different levels of service either from a &#8220;junior&#8221;, &#8220;standard&#8221; or &#8220;head&#8221; designer? Do they really differentiate the quality of their work like that or are they just nudging you towards their most expensive offer? The answer is pretty clear&#8230;&#8230;..<\/p>\n<h3>The alternative way&#8230;..<\/h3>\n<p>Of course there is another way. Rather than jump into a package deal and end up with a dental website template that looks so much like all the others out there, it may be wise to consider a truly bespoke <a title=\"Dental website design\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dental-media.co.uk\/\">dental website design<\/a>. No packages, no templates, no add-ons that fail to deliver &#8211; just beautiful dental website design that properly represents the quality of your practice and services.<\/p>\n<p>At Dental Media we do not offer packaged web design &#8211; we understand that discerning clients want a bespoke, personalised and transparent offer that is tailored to their exact requirements. More and more clients are migrating to Dental Media for exactly that reason.<\/p>\n<p>So what about the cost? Surely a packaged service must be cheaper than the personalised option?
