# Dental Clinic

> A five-page dental clinic website template for private dentists, orthodontists, cosmetic clinics, opticians and other appointment-led practices. A large photograph of a patient with her dentist carries the home page, a card of next week's free appointments lets visitors hold a time that follows them to the booking form, and pages change with a calm fade and rise.

## Overview

A dental practice sells calm and honesty before it sells any treatment, so this five-page template opens on people, not equipment. A large photograph of a patient laughing with her dentist runs to the top and right edges of a cool celadon page, a Young Serif headline holds the left, and a paper card bridges the photograph's lower corner: next week's free appointments. Choose a day, choose a time, and the card names the result in plain words (Tuesday at 7.15pm, with Dr Wren). Clifton Row Dental, a fictional private and family practice in Bristol, is the worked example; the same pages suit an orthodontist, a physiotherapist, an optician, a cosmetic clinic or any business that books by appointment.

"Hold this time" keeps the choice for the visit. A small pill in the header shows the held time on every page, and the booking form opens with that slot already selected and the summary filled. One list of free times feeds both the home card and the full slot list on the Visit page, so the two never disagree.

The pages cover a home page with evening hours drawn as a week chart, a specimen-style price list that adds up a rough estimate as visitors tick treatments, a whitening and bonding page that compares the two row by row, a team page that shows who is in on any day, and a visit page with a real street map, access notes and the booking request. Page changes are deliberately quiet: the page fades out as it drifts down, the next one rises into place, and the header underline slides to the new page's link. Replace the photographs, the colour tokens, the free times and the copy to make it yours.

## Features

- Five standalone HTML pages: Home, Treatments, Whitening and bonding, Team and Visit, sharing one stylesheet and one script
- Next free appointments card in the hero: day tabs and times as native radio groups, evening times marked, and a plain-English line naming the day, time and clinician
- Hold this time: the chosen slot is kept for the visit, shown as a pill in the header on every page, and preselected in the booking form, with the visit type matched to a dentist or hygienist
- One list of free times in the script feeds both the hero card and the Visit page's slot list
- Shade card on the whitening page: pick your shade now and the shade you want from eight enamel tabs, and a line turns the gap into a rough plan and price
- Dark spruce bands that any section can switch on with one class, each repainting its contents from the same tokens
- Soft page changes: the page dims and drifts down, the next rises into place, and the navigation underline slides between links; header and footer stay put
- Back and Forward mirror the change, with scroll positions restored and focus moved to the new heading
- Whitening and bonding compared side by side: what each changes, price, chair time, visits, how long it lasts and who it suits
- Specimen price list in three groups with chair time and visits, and an estimate bar that adds up ticked treatments and shows the 0% monthly figure over £1,000
- Opening hours drawn as a week chart with today marked and a live now tick
- Team page with a day picker that shows who is in and their hours, plus registration numbers
- Visit page with a real street map that loads only when needed, access notes, an emergency line and an unsent booking request form
- Phone menu as a plain sheet of the five pages, with keyboard, Escape, outside-click and focus handling
- Complete pages without JavaScript and instant page swaps under reduced motion
- Fourteen bundled, graded WebP photographs with phone-sized versions of the large ones, credited in the README, plus self-hosted fonts

## Use Cases

- Private and family dental practices publishing prices and evening hours
- Cosmetic dentistry, whitening and bonding clinics
- Orthodontists and clear aligner providers with a small clinical team
- Physiotherapists, opticians, aesthetics clinics and other practices that book by appointment

## Questions about this template

### Which kinds of business suit this template besides a dental practice?

Anything that books by appointment. Orthodontists, physiotherapists, opticians, aesthetics clinics, vets and therapists can keep the layout: a large hero photograph with a free-times card, a priced treatment or service list, a side-by-side comparison of two services, a team page with working days and a booking request. Change the free times, the clinicians and the copy; nothing in the design is specific to teeth.

### How do I change the free appointments?

They are one list near the top of the script: each day has its times and who each one is with, and a time from 6pm is marked as an evening appointment. The hero card and the Visit page's slot list are both built from it. The Visit page also keeps a plain copy of the slots in its HTML for visitors without JavaScript; update it to match, or connect both to your booking system's real availability.

### Will the booking form book real appointments?

No. The visit page is an unwired static front end, and holding a time reserves nothing: it only remembers the choice in the visitor's browser tab. The form collects a slot, name, email, phone and the reason for the visit, then shows the request on screen without sending or storing anything. Connect it to Formspree, Netlify Forms, your practice management system or your CRM, and change the on-page notice, before taking real requests.

### How do I change the treatments, prices and estimate?

Each treatment is one table row holding its name, note, from-price, chair time and visits, with the price as a number on the row for the estimate bar. Edit, add or delete rows freely; per-tooth or per-arch items keep their quantity menu. The 0% finance threshold and term are two values at the top of the estimate code, so you can match your own lender or remove finance.

### Do the page transitions need a special server?

No. Upload the five HTML files and the assets folder to any static host served over HTTP or HTTPS and links run the soft fade and rise. Opened straight from your computer, or with the animation library blocked, the same links load pages normally. To use the browser's own crossfade instead, the README shows the short change that removes the router.

### Are the practice, clinicians and photographs real?

No. Clifton Row Dental, its address, phone numbers, five clinicians, registration numbers, prices, finance terms and reviews are fictional examples. The three photographs of the consultation room, reception and the hand mirror are AI-generated concept images made for this template, not real patients or staff; the rest are licensed stock of unrelated people. Replace them with your own team, rooms, genuine registration numbers, real reviews and regulated finance wording before you publish.

## Vibe-Code Ready Setup

This template includes `START-HERE-AI.md`, a product-specific copy-paste setup prompt for Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini, and other coding assistants that can edit files. It tells the assistant to rebrand the template in place for your business, keep the design and animation, replace the fictional example across every page, and report which photographs to replace, which details it invented, and what it tested.

## How It Works

### Next week's free times, on the front page

The hero card is built from one list of free times in the script: each day tab shows how many are free, and the chosen day's times appear as radio buttons with evening slots marked. Changing day crossfades the times in under a third of a second, and a line below names the result, for example Tuesday at 7.15pm with Dr Wren. Without JavaScript the card keeps a short note and a link to the booking form.

### A held time follows the visitor

Hold this time stores the slot for the browser tab and opens the booking form on the Visit page, where that time is already selected and the summary filled. Until the request is sent or the time is released, a small pill in the header shows it on every page and links back to the form. The Visit page's slot list is built from the same list as the hero card.

### Quiet page changes

Links between pages are soft navigations. The current page dims while drifting down six pixels and the navigation underline slides to the destination's link. It stays on screen, dimmed, until the next page and its main photograph are ready, so a slow connection never shows an empty screen; then the new page settles twelve pixels into place as it fades in. The header and footer never move, and Back runs the same change mirrored.

### Prices, comparisons and the people

The treatments page is a three-group price list with from-prices, chair times and visits, and a bar that adds up a rough estimate as treatments are ticked. The whitening page sets home whitening and composite bonding side by side on hairline rows, and a shade card of eight enamel tabs turns the shade you have and the shade you want into a rough plan. Opening hours are a real table drawn as a week chart, and the team page dims everyone who is not in on the chosen day.

### Calm fallbacks

Reduced motion swaps pages instantly, removes the time crossfade and shows every section at once. Without JavaScript, or opened from the file system, every link loads a complete page, the radio buttons and price list still work as plain controls, and the phone menu becomes a link to the page list in the footer.

## Documentation

How this template works and how it goes into a page. The reference you use once you own the files (worked examples, events, the programmatic API, the class list) ships with the download.

### Quick Start

1. Upload the five HTML files and the `assets` folder to any static host served over HTTP or HTTPS.
2. Open `index.html`. Every internal link now runs the soft page change.
3. Opened straight from your computer (a `file://` address), links load pages normally and everything else still works.

There is no build step. Each page is a complete HTML file that works without JavaScript.

### Using It With Your Own Design

- **Colours** are tokens at the top of `assets/style.css`: ground, paper, ink, muted ink, action and alert. The comment above them lists the measured contrast of every text pair; re-measure if you change them.
- **Ink bands**: add `on-ink` to any `<section>` to set it on the dark spruce ground. The class redefines the same tokens inside that section, so every component in it repaints itself. Each page uses one; edit the `.on-ink` block to change the dark palette.
- **Fonts** are Young Serif (display and the wordmark) and Onest (text, prices and tabular figures), self-hosted in `assets/fonts`.
- **The wordmark** is type, not an image: "Clifton Row" in Young Serif with "Dental" as a small tracked label led in by a hairline (`.wordmark`, `.wordmark-name`, `.wordmark-label`). Change the two words in the header and footer of each page. The favicon is a one-letter monogram in `assets/favicon.svg`.
- **Pages** are listed in three places on each page: the header navigation, the phone menu and the footer page list. The script marks the current page in all three after every page change.

### Pages

| Page | Sections |
|---|---|
| `index.html` | Hero with photograph, headline, new patient exam price and the free appointments card, why people switch, opening hours week chart with emergency line, three kinds of care, reviews, finance band |
| `treatments.html` | Header with the most-booked prices, three price groups (everyday, cosmetic, straightening) with an estimate bar, finance terms, pricing questions |
| `whitening-and-bonding.html` | Hand-mirror photograph header, whitening and bonding compared, visit-by-visit track, what bonding can do, aftercare, questions, booking band |
| `team.html` | Reception photograph header, day picker and five clinicians, registration note, booking band |
| `visit.html` | Reception photograph header, emergency line, map and getting here, access, slot list and booking request form |

Every section is self-contained. Delete any one and the rest of the page keeps working: each feature in `assets/script.js` returns early when its markup is missing.

### Next free appointments and the held time

**The free times** are one list near the top of `assets/script.js`: `FREE` gives each day its times and who each is with (keys into `PEOPLE`), and `DAYS` names the days. Times from `EVENING_FROM` (6pm) are marked as evening appointments. Both the hero card and the Visit page's slot list are built from this list, so they always agree. `visit.html` also keeps a plain copy of the slots for visitors without JavaScript; the script replaces it with the list, so update that copy when you change `FREE`.

**The hero card (`[data-picker]`).** Day tabs (each showing how many times are free) and the chosen day's times are two native radio groups, with visible focus and arrow-key movement. Changing day crossfades the times (0.1s out, 0.18s in; instant under reduced motion), and the line below names the result: "Tuesday at 7.15pm, with Dr Tomasz Wren, dentist." The card opens on the visitor's held time, or the first evening slot with a dentist, since it sits under the new patient exam price. Each entry in `PEOPLE` carries a `role`; a hygienist's time preselects "Hygienist visit" in the booking form, a dentist's time the exam. Without JavaScript it shows a short note and a link to the booking form.

**Hold this time (`[data-hold]`).** A link to `visit.html#book` that first stores the slot in session storage (it is gone when the tab closes, and nothing is reserved anywhere). The router then makes the page change, and the booking form arrives with that time selected and "Held for you" in its summary.

**The header pill (`[data-held-pill]`).** Shows the held time ("Tue 7.15pm held") on every page and links to the form. Choosing another time on the Visit page holds that one instead; "Release this time" clears it, and sending the request clears it too. On phones the pill takes the Book button's place, and on narrow phones it shortens to the day and time.

### The page change

`assets/page-router.js` turns the links between pages into soft navigations: it fetches the next page while the current one animates out, swaps the `[data-page]` element, keeps history, scroll positions and focus correct, and falls back to a normal page load on any error. Do not edit it; the transition itself lives in `assets/script.js` as four hooks passed to `PageRouter.create`:

- **leave**: the current page dims to 30% while drifting down 6px (0.28s, `sine.in`), and the navigation underline glides to the destination's link (0.4s). The fetch is already running underneath.
- **hold**: the dimmed page stays on screen until the incoming page and its main photograph (`[data-hero-photo] img`) are ready, at most 1.2s after the fetch, then clears in 0.12s. A slow connection shows the old page, never an empty screen.
- **enter**: the new page settles from 12px below as it fades in (0.55s, `sine.out`).
- **reset**: clears the page's opacity and transform and settles the underline.

The header and footer sit outside `[data-page]` and never move. Back and Forward mirror the change: the old page drifts up and the new one settles from slightly above. A second click during the change re-aims it; a click during the entrance hurries it. Reduced motion swaps pages instantly. The timings are the `OUT`, `IN` and `UNDERLINE_TIME` values in the script.

**Things to know when adding features.** Scripts inside a fetched page never run, so every feature is an `init` function in `assets/script.js`, created in `initPage` and torn down in `clearPage`. Put per-page values on the `[data-page]` element as `data-` attributes, and query inside the page you are given, never the whole document.

**Swapping it for a plain crossfade.** Remove the `<script src="assets/page-router.js" defer></script>` line from all five pages and add this to `assets/style.css`:

_In your download: the working code for this step, in `style.css`._

The script detects that the router is gone and runs each page on its own; supporting browsers crossfade between pages, others load them normally.

### Page features

**Estimate (`[data-estimate]`).** Each `<tr data-estimate-row>` carries `data-price` and `data-name`; rows with a quantity menu multiply the price. `FINANCE_OVER` and `FINANCE_MONTHS` set the 0% threshold and term.

**Whitening and bonding compared (`.compare`).** A real table: one row per question, one column per treatment. On phones each row stacks into a label and two values. Add or remove rows freely.

**Shade card (`[data-shade]`).** Eight enamel tabs, lightest first, repeated as two native radio groups: the shade now and the shade wanted. The line beneath counts the steps between them and picks a plan from `SHADE_PLANS` in the script. Change a tab's code in its `value` and label, and its colour in the inline `--enamel`; keep both rows in the same order. It is a guide only and sends nothing. Without JavaScript the tabs still select and the line keeps its default sentence.

**Hours (`[data-week]`).** A real table. Each bar's `--from` and `--to` are hours after 8am on a twelve-hour scale; `HOURS` in the script sets when the "now" tick shows.

**Team days (`[data-team-days]`).** Each `.person` lists its days in `data-days` and its hours per day in `data-hours`. Keep the free times in `FREE` on the days each person works.

**Map (`[data-map]`).** MapLibre GL on OpenFreeMap tiles, loaded only when the map nears the screen and never during a page change. Set the pin with `data-lng` and `data-lat`. The OpenStreetMap link inside stays as the fallback without JavaScript or WebGL. Keep the attribution: it is a licence requirement.

**Booking request (`[data-booking-form]`).** A front end only. It validates the slot, name, email and consent, then shows the prepared request on screen. Nothing is sent or stored. Connect it to Formspree, Netlify Forms, your practice management system or your CRM, and change the note under the button. Without JavaScript the browser checks the required fields and posts the form (`method="post"`, so nothing lands in the address bar); set its `action` to your form service. Each Visit slot is read out with its day, and evening slots say so.

**Phone menu (`[data-menu-button]`).** A real button that opens a plain sheet of the five pages, the current one marked. Escape, the backdrop and the Close button shut it, focus moves into it and back to the button, and choosing a page closes it, as does any page change (Back, Forward or a back gesture). Without JavaScript a Menu link jumps to the page list in the footer instead.

### Palette

Celadon ground `#DFEAE5`, paper `#F4F8F6`, spruce ink `#133B38`, muted ink `#4E6B67`, cobalt action `#2A5BD7`, alert red `#B23A2E`. Cobalt is kept for actions and chosen states (the Book buttons, a chosen time), so it always means "this is what you are about to do". Ink bands (`.on-ink`) invert the set: spruce ground, raised card `#1D4A46`, paper text, muted `#B4CBC4`, link blue `#A9C1FF`. The eight enamel shades (`#F4EDE0` to `#D2B683`) appear only on the shade card's tabs.

### Images

All photographs are WebP files in `assets/img`, cropped, resized and colour-graded for this template. To replace one, keep the file name and proportions (or update the `width`, `height` and `srcset` in the HTML), and rewrite its `alt` text and caption. The large photographs also have a phone-sized version (`-640` or `-800` in the name).

Every photograph is an AI-generated image made for this template: concept illustrations of a fictional practice, not real patients, staff or rooms. They share one room, light and uniform so the set reads as one practice. Replace them with photographs of your own practice before you publish.

| File | Shows | Licence |
|---|---|---|
| `practice-consultation-640/1024.webp` | Patient and dentist in the surgery (home hero) | Included with the template |
| `practice-reception.webp`, `-800` | Reception (Visit) | Included with the template |
| `practice-front-desk.webp`, `-800` | The same reception room (Team hero) | Included with the template |
| `mirror-check.webp`, `-800` | Hand mirror at the end of an appointment | Included with the template |
| `hygienist-conversation.webp` | Hygienist with a model of teeth | Included with the template |
| `care-everyday.webp`, `care-family.webp`, `care-cosmetic.webp`, `care-straightening.webp` | Treatment group photographs | Included with the template |
| `team-1.webp` to `team-5.webp`, `team-1-lead.webp` | Team portraits; `team-1-lead` is a larger crop of `team-1` | Included with the template |

The people shown do not exist. Do not present them as your staff or patients; replace them with your own photographs.

### Fonts

- **Young Serif** 400, from Google Fonts, SIL Open Font License 1.1.
- **Onest** (variable; weights 400 to 600 used), from Google Fonts, SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Both are self-hosted latin subsets in `assets/fonts`, loaded with `font-display: swap` and preloaded in each page's head.

### Accessibility

- Every control is native: links, buttons, radio groups, checkboxes, selects and `<details>`. The appointment card's day tabs and times are two real radio groups, so arrow keys move through them and screen readers announce each day's number of free times.
- After each page change, focus moves to the new page's main heading (visible only for keyboard users) and the page title is announced.
- Reduced motion swaps pages instantly, removes the hero entrance and the time crossfade, and shows every section at once.
- Without JavaScript every page is complete, links load normally, the appointment card offers a plain link to the booking form, the slot radios and price list still work, and the hours chart is a plain table.
- Text contrast is measured in the comment at the top of `assets/style.css`; the lowest pair in running text is 4.70:1.

### Dependencies

- **GSAP** with **ScrollTrigger**, from the jsDelivr CDN. Works with GSAP 3.12+; the demo pins 3.15.0.
- **MapLibre GL** 4.7.1 (loaded by the script on the Visit page only) with **OpenFreeMap** tiles and OpenStreetMap data. No API key or account.
- No smooth-scrolling library: nothing on these pages is scroll-scrubbed.

### Teardown

`window.gsapContext.revert()` stops the router, reverts every page feature and its ScrollTriggers, removes the navigation underline and all listeners, and leaves the page as a plain document. Use it if you embed the template inside another application that replaces the page.
