That's not so bad, there's dummy copy to the rescue. But worse, what if the fish doesn't fit in the can, the foot's to big for the boot? Or too small? To short sentences, to many headings, images too large for the proposed design, or too small, or they fit in but it looks iffy for reasons the folks in the meeting can't quite tell right now, but they're unhappy, somehow.
A client that's unhappy for a reason is a problem, a client that's unhappy though he or her can't quite put a finger on it is worse. But. A big but: Lorem Ipsum is not t the root of the problem, it just shows what's going wrong. Chances are there wasn't collaboration, communication, and checkpoints, there wasn't a process agreed upon or specified with the granularity required. It's content strategy gone awry right from the start. Forswearing the use of Lorem Ipsum wouldn't have helped, won't help now.

Everything you need to know about dentistry in the UAE

We will help you compile all the necessary documents and guide you through the entire process.

How long does the DHA authorisation process take?
The time frame varies depending on the complexity of your case and the communication between the authorities. It usually takes between 4 weeks and 6 months. We optimise the process to complete it as quickly as possible.
