Dentist website for UK practices — GDPR-compliant, domain and email included

What a dental practice website needs in the UK

UK dental practices — whether NHS, private, or mixed — operate under specific regulatory and data protection obligations. A practice website is not just a marketing tool: it is a point of contact for patient enquiries, a source of information about services, and a place where personal data may be collected via contact forms or appointment requests.

A dental practice website in the UK should include: a clear list of services (NHS and/or private), a contact form with a compliant privacy notice, details of your CQC registration where required, practice address and phone number, and accessible navigation for patients with disabilities.

GDPR compliance and what it means for your site

Under UK GDPR, any website that collects personal data — including a simple contact form — must provide a privacy policy explaining what data is collected, how it is used, how long it is retained, and how patients can request deletion or access.

Every QENEX website includes a privacy policy template and a cookie notice. These are written to reflect the actual data processing the site performs — not a generic imported document. If your practice uses third-party booking software or analytics, those processing activities should be added to your privacy policy by your DPO or data protection adviser.

QENEX does not provide legal advice. The included privacy policy and cookie notice are starting points. If your practice has specific data processing requirements, consult a solicitor or registered DPO.

ICO registration context

Most UK dental practices that process patient data are required to register with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and pay the data protection fee. Having a website does not change this obligation — but it does require you to display your ICO registration number and provide a compliant privacy policy. QENEX websites include a footer placeholder for your ICO number.

What is included

Every QENEX order covers domain registration, professional website build, and branded email provisioning in a single subscription:

• Domain — .co.uk or .com, registered in your practice name. Renewed annually as part of your plan.
• Website — services page, contact form, privacy policy, cookie notice, and accessibility-compliant navigation. Built and tested before billing.
• Email — reception@ or enquiries@ mailbox on your domain, with DKIM, SPF, and DMARC configured. Your emails will pass inbox filters reliably.

The Essential plan is £8 per month (£96 per year). The Pro plan is £20 per month (£240 per year) and adds an AI Design Studio and custom design brief for a more tailored site.

Built before billing

QENEX registers your domain, builds your site, provisions your email, and runs an automated quality audit before any payment is requested. The audit checks accessibility, performance, and correct rendering across three browsers and four screen sizes. Only if everything passes do we send a payment link.

This approach is unusual in the web services industry. We do it because building a site that fails basic accessibility or performance checks and then billing for it is not something we are willing to do.
