Solution21 dental and medical practice mobile website
More and more people are turning to their mobile devices to find their healthcare provider, so having a mobile website for your practice is crucial to your success and connecting to a growing number of patients on-the-go. At Solution21, we create a mobile website that provides seamless user experience, that is aligned to your main practice website design, to make sure your patients are one simple touch away from your practice and services all the time. 

Research reveal that 83% of American adults ages 18 and older own a mobile phone, 34% of which own smartphones. With so many smartphone owners, it is important for potential and existing patients that visit your website to see a website that is mobile friendly.
