For creating a new website, particularly for a specialized field like a pharmacy, careful planning and consideration are essential. Here's a peek into the steps I took to transform a vision into a fully functional website.

Creative Direction and Elements from the Previous Website

The first step was to determine the creative direction. This involves answering several key questions:

• What overall aesthetic and user experience do we want to create?
• Which elements from the previous website should we retain to maintain brand continuity?
• What new features and functionalities are required to meet current user needs and industry standards?

To address these questions and map out the initial ideas, I turned to Figma and Relume AI. These tools were instrumental in creating a rough draft, which I then shared with my client for feedback. Through our discussions, we pinpointed the essential components to include in the new website.

Key Components for the New Pharmacy Website

After collaborating with the client, we identified the main components that needed to be included:

• About Us: A section to introduce the pharmacy, its mission, and its team.
• Services: Detailed descriptions of the services offered by the pharmacy.
• Prescriptions: Information on how to handle and manage prescriptions.
• Blog: A space for informative articles related to health and wellness.
• Products: A catalog of the products available for purchase.
• Symptom-based Questionnaire: An interactive feature to help users find the right over-the-counter drugs based on their symptoms.
• Contact Us: Easy ways for users to get in touch with the pharmacy.
• Home Page: The main landing page that ties all the elements together and provides an overview of what the website offers.

Choosing the Right Platform: Why Webflow?

Given the need for creative flexibility and the integration of various elements, I chose Webflow to host the website. Webflow offers a powerful platform that combines design freedom with robust functionality, making it an ideal choice for our project.

The Wireframe Outline

Wireframes are visual guides that represent the skeletal framework of a website. They are crucial in the planning stages, providing a clear blueprint for how all the elements will flow together. Below is the wireframe outline for the pharmacy website, showing the planned layout and structure for each component.

Using this wireframe as a guide, we can ensure that the final website is not only visually appealing but also user-friendly and functional. By meticulously planning each step and leveraging the right tools, we are well on our way to creating a website that meets the needs of both the pharmacy and its customers.

Stay tuned for updates as we move from planning to execution, bringing this vision to life!
