Pharmacies and medical stores
Websites for pharmacies and medical stores in Kolkata.
People search for a chemist at ten at night, on a phone, in a hurry. The site that wins is the one that says "open until eleven, delivers to your area, here is the number" without making anyone hunt for it.
For a pharmacy, the website is mostly a trust and findability job: opening hours including the late ones, whether you deliver, what you stock, and your licence details. Selling medicines online is a separate, heavily regulated business and most shops should not attempt it on their own site.
The brief
What a pharmacy site actually needs.
Late hours, stated plainly
If you are open when the others are shut, that is your single strongest line and it belongs on the first screen. "Open until 11pm, seven days" does more work than any amount of design.
Whether you deliver, and how far
Name the areas. A visitor two streets away needs to know they are inside your range before they ring, and naming the neighbourhoods is also what tells Google which searches you belong in.
Your licence, shown not hidden
The drug licence number, plainly displayed. It is the fastest trust signal a chemist has and almost nobody uses it. Same principle as showing a registration number: it is the one thing a stranger can check without asking you.
Categories, not a full stock list
Nobody maintains a live inventory of four thousand items and nobody reads one. Broad categories, the things you are known for, and anything unusual you keep that others do not.
No prescription uploads, no online sale
Selling medicines online in India is its own licensed activity with its own rules, and a form that collects prescriptions collects health data. We keep both off the site unless you have specifically taken that on, and then it is a different conversation entirely.
The number, everywhere
A chemist site is a phone call waiting to happen. The number is a tap-to-dial link on every page and it matches the Google listing exactly.
Built, not promised
Open one and scroll it.
- Larkspur Chemists — A pharmacy site built the way described above, with a 3D capsule that turns as you scroll.
- Wrenfield Medical Stores — The same problem for a medical store, with stock categories and a 3D bone.
These are concept sites: complete, real designs carrying a fictional business name and no real address, phone number or customer. They are ours to show. Work built for actual clients is not named here, because nobody has agreed to be named yet.
Questions
Questions people ask
Can I sell medicines from my website?
Not as an ordinary shop website, no. Online medicine sale in India is a separately regulated activity and the rules around it have moved several times. If that is genuinely your plan, it needs proper legal advice before a single line of code is written, and we would tell you to get that first. What we build is a site that brings people to your counter and your phone.
Should I take orders on WhatsApp instead?
Many shops do, and it works, but understand what it is: you are holding customer messages, sometimes with photographs of prescriptions, in a chat app on your own phone. That is your responsibility rather than the website’s. We will link WhatsApp prominently because it is what people use. What we will not do is build a form on the site that quietly collects the same thing.
How do I get found for "chemist near me"?
That search shows a map, and the map is won by your Google Business Profile, not by your website. Verified listing, correct primary category, real opening hours, photographs, and reviews from actual customers. The website supports it by saying the same things in the same words. Get the listing right first; it is the faster half by a distance.

Tell us the business and we will tell you what it needs.
No form, on purpose. We work in English, Bengali and Hindi, and we will say plainly if something you are asking for would not earn its cost.
