Key Features of the Redesign
Design & Brand System
This website redesign case study began with a complete visual overhaul. The original Dr. Hurtado website lacked a strong, modern dental brand presence. The new build introduces a refined color palette, updated typography, improved spacing, and a clear visual hierarchy to position the practice as a trusted, high-quality dental provider in Santa Barbara.
Mobile UX & Patient Experience
The site was rebuilt with a mobile-first approach, recognizing that many patients research dentists from their phones. Layouts were redesigned to be scroll-friendly, navigation was simplified, and key information such as services, trust signals, and contact pathways were made easier to access.
Performance & Core Stability
A major objective of this rebuild was to create a high-performance business website. The new site achieved strong PageSpeed scores across both desktop and mobile, with improved load times, reduced layout shift, and a significantly lighter, more efficient build.
SEO-Structured Website Architecture
Unlike the previous site, the new Dr. Hurtado website was rebuilt around a clear SEO keyword strategy. Core services, supporting procedures, and patient-intent topics were structured into organized pages with optimized headings, internal linking, and technical foundations designed to support long-term search visibility.
