Design websites: What are the alternatives to WordPress?

There is no longer only the dentist with his own practice, but even dental clinics that entice with offers or their services. Germany is particularly well-stocked in terms of dentists. That is, as a patient you have a wide choice of doctors who take care of your teeth or your dental problems quite professionally. For this reason, dentists and dental clinics have to compete for their patients and show on their websites quite impressively what they have to offer. For this purpose, there is even a top-level domain, .dentist.
Allocation
.dentist is a generic top-level domain, especially for dentists and dental clinics. This internationally understandable and memorable top-level domain is administered by Rightside Registry, which is based in Kirkland in the US state of Washington. The domain extension .dentist is intended for dental clinics and dentists, but also for bloggers who write about dental topics. The registration is completely uncomplicated. However, it is a top-level domain that is reserved for a specific professional group. Accordingly, the applicant for a corresponding domain must submit his contact and accreditation data to the responsible licensing or accreditation authority.
Use and meaning
Since the English term for dentist is also very common in Germany, the domain extension is also quite widespread and is often chosen as an alternative if the actually preferred top-level domain for the own domain name is already taken. It does not happen very often, but it does happen that a dental clinic or a dentist has the same name as another dental clinic or another dentist who also wants to be present on the WWW. Because the authorization for such a domain address must be presented, a user can assume that on a website with the domain extension .dentist really a website awaits him, on which a dentist or a dental clinic presents itself with practice and team and on which there is good information about the portfolio of the corresponding practice or clinic. Since the domain extension .dentist can only be used by a certain professional group, the importance of the domain extension .dentist is not so great internationally.
The current top-level domain for selected professional groups places special requirements on the registrant. The latter must provide the registrar with the contact and registration data of his competent registration or licensing authority (e.g. the bar association or the panel dentist association) upon request. His data deposited with the Registrar must be kept up to date at all times. Upon request, the registrant assures that he has the required qualifications, licenses and permits and undertakes to inform the registrar of any changes in this regard, as defined in the following text: Requirements for highly regulated TLDs: registrants must provide their registrar with administrative contact information for notification of complaints or reports of registration abuse, as well as contact details of relevant industry regulatory or self-regulatory bodies at their principal place of business, which must be kept up to date. In addition, registrants must have all necessary authorizations, charters, licenses and/or other related entitlements to participate in the sector associated with that strictly regulated TLD and report any material changes to the registrant's authorizations, charters, licenses and/or other related entitlements to participate in the sector associated with the strictly regulated TLD.
