Make it easy to ask for help.
Before vs after
Drag the handle. Left: what pet owners find today. Right: a calmer first screen with booking and emergencies clear.
Independent concept. Created from public information to demonstrate an idea. Not commissioned or approved by the business shown.


See it in motion
A still can't show the hero, the menus or how fast you reach the main action. These are ten-second visits to each version, captured the same way.
Appointments
Where the booking actually happens.
The opening page brings the appointment form forward — but a dedicated page lets the practice separate everyday requests from out-of-hours emergencies, and gives both a clear action without competing for space.

The appointments screen separates routine booking from emergency guidance and links to the clinic's current VidiVet information for 24/7 digital advice.
The reasoning, in order
Three changes to make asking effortless.
Today a collage of stock puppies and kittens greets visitors. The one thing that is genuinely theirs — the badge with its Mourne silhouette — sits small in the corner.
Change: The whole screen is drawn from the practice's own badge: its colours, mountain profile and words — Professional, Caring, Compassionate.
Book Appointments leads to a page that lists only the phone number and email. The site separately promotes VidiVet for free 24/7 digital advice.
Change: An appointment-request card on the first screen — name, pet, preferred day, phone — passing to the phone line and inbox the practice already answers.
Emergency treatment is one item in a nine-entry services dropdown, while opening hours compete with photographs in a chat popup.
Change: Emergencies get the top strip with a call action beside the published hours, and six everyday services line the foot of the screen.
Sources & limits
Clear about what is real.
Captured on 23 July 2026; by 25 July the public site promoted VidiVet for free 24/7 digital advice. Name, address, phone, email, hours, catchment villages, bereavement page and service list come from the current site and a July 2026 recruitment listing.
The pet cast, safety-net flow, life arc and catchment map are studio drawings, disclosed as such — not photographs of patients, and the map is indicative rather than a boundary survey. The bereavement line is the practice's own sentence, with its page named and linked.
This was not commissioned or approved by Donard Veterinary Clinic. It is a free website idea: make it easy to ask for help.
