Central Pharmacy and Compounding Lab in Santa Monica have a new look to their website. Markovision has converted their existing site to a WordPress site.
Here is the new site: www.myCentralPharmacy.com
The Internet Archive keeps copies of the interweb – literally! Using their amazing WayBack Machine technology we can view the past. Here is the previous incarnation of the website, before WordPress.

Pretty, but hard to update! Hard to change text (it is all graphics), and hard to add menu items. With a design like this they are locked into their early choices. A great design for it’s time, it is small on the screen, optimized for 800×600 monitors, and very challenging to change.
Ideally, a website is dynamic, and allows ease of update. Someone in the store needs to be able to change words, take out a page, or add a picture – without hiring a professional! And as technology changes, a website needs to change too.
I love WordPress as a Content Management System (CMS) because anyone can use it, it works on Mac or PC, it is simple to use, and offers dynamite results, with endless possibility.
WordPress is cutting edge web technology, and continues to grow and change. It is easily integrated into social networking.
WordPress offers great flexibility, easy to update, lots of plugins available to customize and expand your site. And unlimited themes and modifications available to tailor your site to it’s purpose.
WordPress can work for most situations – it is used by individuals, bloggers, small companies, and large corporations. WordPress can be a single site, or a network of 10,000,000 sites!
You can learn to update your own site without learning code. If you can use Netflix, Gmail, Facebook, or other online services, you have the skills to work with WordPress – it is that easy.
The set-up can be more daunting, and that is where I can help.
I convert websites to WordPress. I am happy to look at your existing site and let you know if WordPress is the best solution for you. I can also work with existing sites as is, if all you need is some updates.
If you are considering starting a new site, I would be happy to talk with you about WordPress. I can also help you navigate the worlds of Domain registration, Web Hosting, eCommerce, and more.
