Brief

We originally got involved with Medicine Drop to setup new branding along with a website. Four years later we are now on the second version of the site that is now taking online medicine sales and has the functionality to track prescription orders.

Background

Medicine Drop is a UK-based online pharmacy founded in 2018 by a team of pharmacists. The company’s aim is to make it easier for people to manage their medications and to provide them with access to high-quality, affordable medication. Medicine Drop offers free delivery of repeat prescriptions, video consultations and local pick-ups from a range of bases around Derby.

Research

Analysis of Existing Website

The online pharmacy web sector is fairly competitive. It’s was critical for this project that they had an expectation of potential traffic volumes before it was built. This enables them to make marketing decisions based on their budget. From the research we recommended that Medicine Drop initially focus on organic SEO but targeting a more local demographic in three key areas; Derby, Sheffield and Nottingham. It was fundamental knowing this before we started designing as we could create all the pages and content around focusing not he keywords.

Homepage Intro

The process started by designing smaller initial homepage concepts that then turned into full pages. The design process is shown in stages below. At all points during this process we shared our working designs with he client through online software. This enables us to pass feedback and comments throughout the process.

Full Pages

Once we had identified a visual for the homepage we could then start designing the internal pages. As this process was a redesign we could use the original content as a starting point and adapt it to work with the new strategy.

Development

Web Development

The client requested that this project was built on WordPress, a website content management system (CMS). We don’t push our preference onto our client but guide them with the positives and negatives of each option. We’ve had some of our best SEO results with site built on WordPress so were completely happy to use this. We build all our sites to be completely editable by none trained staff. A good CMS enhances this process and makes it pleasant to use.

Performance

Loading Speed

A slow-loading page can frustrate users and cause them to abandon your website. Google also considers page speed a ranking factor, so a slow-loading page may not rank as high in search results. We use two tools below to measure a website’s performance.
