 Dallas the Dentist

## Family dental practice⏎  making patients smile

 Dallas the dentist has an exuberant personality that rubs off on everyone around
him. He asked us to bottle that feeling in website form. With that directive, we
came up with one of our more high concept hero ideas.

## Starting with the ⏎ end in mind

The main image on the site gives visitors a point of view of people smiling into
a camera. Taking the metaphor one step further, we added a capture a button that
triggers a flash and brings another smiling face into frame. Cool!

> GLIDE helped create my business website and establish my online presence. They
> were quick and attentive and stuck to deadlines. And  they are really good at 
> what they do
> Dallas Krommenhoek
> Dentist

Our hope is that visitors have fun playing with this novel feature and start smiling
themselves. The rest of the site is clean and professional without feeling sterile.
Visitors are never more than a click or a scroll away from the next set of pearly
whites. Not everyone looks forward to visiting the dentist, but it’s people like
Dr. Dallas who are changing that attitude in their patients. Health starts with 
the mouth.
