There are many benefits WordPress Websites offer, from the ease to maintain, consistency of all pages, Google finds it inviting (which means SEO friendly), mobile friendly and allows you to share your expertise with its on board blogging platform.
Like with everything in life there are some issues. WordPress has some bugs as well. According to Here Next Year dot com, “Plugin updates and WordPress software version upgrades can sometimes be a problem. For most, it’s just a click of a button and everything is fine. For some, they’ll click an update or upgrade link and all of a sudden they have a blank screen displaying on their website. Like with any cms product that uses a database to push content to be viewed, eventually there will come a time when you need to get some technical help even if for something as simple as upgrading plugins. The key is to learn how to backup your files and database, then do the upgrade or updates, and be able to revert back to the backed-up version if you need to. And, by all means, make sure your website manager knows to do that too before just updating or upgrading out of the blue.”
Backing up your website is a good practice no matter what platform you are using. Backing up your website is like backing up your computer – needs to be done.

There are many plugin’s available to work even better. Do not get me wrong – the technology is making it easier. However, you will spend a lot of time working SEO. That is where we come in – At DW Video we have monthly maintenance packages to help you be more productive.

Medical and Health Care Video produced by Dw Video build trust.
Serving Carson City-Big Rapids-Greenville-Fremont-Grand Rapids-Medical Testimonial Videos produced by DW Video & Multimedia, LLC.
By producing patient stories, in their own words are ideal to building your medical practice. People like to do business with people they know and trust.
Medical and Health Care Testimonial Videos should be 60-90 seconds on average. Up to 2-3 minutes will work based on the content of the testimonial. When we have a patient testimonial that goes long – it is ideal to have part one, part two etc. Each video having a stand alone message that promotes your services.
Some sample questions may include: What do you like best about your Doctor and why? What sets your health care specialist aside from others in his field? Asking follow-up, open-ended questions will help expand their answers. We may ask: “What do you mean?” or “Can you give me an example?” or “How has that been working for you?”
It is important to have a very good release form for the patients to sign is important as well. HIPPA privacy is number one. At DW Video our approach is simple. This is not an investigative report – we instruct patients that this is their story and they are in control of what they share with us.
