Is Zarla a web design agency?
No. Zarla is AI. It does the design part of an agency's job, the layout, words, pages and forms, from a one-sentence brief. There's no designer on the other end. If you want a person for marketing or SEO, Zarla partners are independent agencies and freelancers who work on Zarla sites.
How much does dental website design cost?
Web designers who publish prices for dental sites charge from $1,850 one-time at a local studio, $1,999 to $3,999 setup plus $89 a month at a practice website company, $2,500 to $7,500 one-time (enterprise from $12,000) at a healthcare web agency, $3,500 at a small dental studio, $3,980 to $4,980 at a dental-only marketing company, and $2495 to $14,495 for the design plus $249 to $725 a month for SEO at a dental-only web company; a cost guide puts a freelancer's build at $3,650 to $10,150. Designing and previewing on Zarla is free; you choose a Premium or Business plan when you publish.
What should a dental website have?
An appointment request form in the first screen, the phone number as a button, the insurance you take and your financing, a page for each treatment, the dentist's photo and credentials, your hours and same-day policy, your reviews and a price for the patient without insurance. In the US, dentists are licensed by each state's dental board and specialty claims are regulated: say each dentist's name, degree and specialty exactly as licensed, and check with your state dental board's advertising rules for what you must display. Zarla adds treatment and town pages from your brief, up to your plan's page limit. Customers can attach up to five photos of the job to the form, so you can often price it from the photos instead of a site visit. The form doesn't work out a price for you — you read the request and quote it yourself.
How long does a dental website take?
Web designers who publish timelines for dental sites quote 12-13 weeks from discovery to launch at a healthcare web agency with fixed-price packages; the dental-only companies and the practice website company don't publish one, and a cost guide says 4–10 weeks. Zarla's first design takes about 30 seconds; after your changes, you can publish the same day on a paid plan.
Can patients book an appointment online?
Yes. Customers book appointments or service calls from your website; bookings sync to Google Calendar, and you can take a deposit or full payment through your own Stripe account. Open new-patient exam slots, and keep the request form for the patient who wants a specific day.
Is the appointment form private?
Use it for first contact. Zarla's forms take a name, a phone number, what the patient needs and a preferred date, and every submission lands in your inbox and your leads list; keep health history and insurance details for the intake forms your practice already uses. Zarla's forms are not a patient records system and make no HIPAA claim.
I already have a dental website. Can I move it?
Yes. Zarla keeps your old page addresses where it can and redirects the ones that change, helping you keep the Google standing you've built.
