Good Neighbor Pharmacy

Industries: Health And Beauty
Services: Development, Insights

MyGNP.com is the portal for a network of 2500 independently owned pharmacies located across the United States and its territories. Included as part of their membership, each store has its own HIPAA and WCAG (AA) compliant localized page and the ability for owners to submit content additions to it, as well as to the news, gallery, and promotions subpages.

Relentless started on this project in late 2018 using an Agile Development model and worked extensively with AmerisourceBergen’s Salesforce and GNP Marketing teams throughout the project to provide continually updated timelines before reaching a MVP release in mid-2019.

A comprehensive content migration strategy and audit was necessary to ensure the existing URL structure was retained, and mitigate any potential impact on organic search traffic.

Relentless continues to provide day-to-day support for the GNP marketing team with their content strategy and management, and as they support their network of stores’ online presence, as well as completing the development of a brand refresh & front-end reskin in 2020.

Relentless has recently redesigned and redeveloped the Westaqua website. Our process began with a friendly wave in the parking lot, as Westaqua is located just a few doors down from our office. Over the years, we got to know a few members of their team over casual parking lot chitchat. When it was time to redo their website, they knocked on our door.

We started with an audit of the former website and provided technical recommendations for website enhancements. We then entered the design phase and worked with Westaqua to come up with a website design that was true to their brand and level of professionalism.

We really enjoyed developing this website for our great neighbors at Westaqua.
