Launch of new website

We have been really busy during the past few months trying to improve the performance and functionality of our website http://netpharmacy.co.nz.

When we launched our new website last October we had hoped it would improve the shopping experience for our customers. NetPharmacy was one of the first online pharmaceutical and health shopping sites when it launched in 2000 and our website at the time was considered to be at the forefront of shopping experience. Flash forward 10 years and it simply wasn't practical to keep the same software and website layout.

We worked for months implementing the new system and launched in October 2009. The launch wasn't as smooth as we had hoped. Although the user functionality was vastly improved from our previous website there were performance issues.

We have been working tirelessly since October 2009 to correct all of the errors and slowness the website had.

Our new features include:

1. An improved search engine that allows the user to refine search results by price, brand, specification (e.g. Kosher, Vegan, Vegetarian) and many more options.
2. A drop down navigation menu that allows the customer to directly go to the page they want without having to trawl through pages of sub categories.
3. A simplified and compacted home page which is fast loading and great for people on slower or dial-up connections.
4. Faster website speed and (fingers crossed) minimal to zero downtime.
   

Unfortunately we were unable to transfer the old user ordering history. This means when customers log into their account they will not be able to see previous orders. We wish that we could have transferred over the history but this simply isn't possible. We think that the great new features on our website will make up for this issue.

We are constantly working to improve our website and appreciate any feedback you may have. A website is an ever evolving machine which requires constant attention and we are dedicated to being the best online pharmacy, health and beauty store on the web.
