Independent pharmacies and drugstore chains face growing competition both from the big chains (Catena, Sensiblu, Help Net) and from online pharmacies. A professional digital presence is no longer optional — it’s a prerequisite for survival in an increasingly digital market.
A pharmacy website has two main jobs: to inform customers (hours, location, services, promotions) and to build trust through quality medical content and an introduction to the pharmacy team.
This guide shows what your pharmacy’s website needs to include to keep your current customers loyal and attract new ones from Timisoara.
What should a website for pharmacies and drugstores include?
A professional website for pharmacies and drugstores is an active marketing tool that works 24/7. Here are the elements it should never launch without:
Clearly displayed opening hours and location
Full opening hours (including after-hours duty, if applicable), the exact address and the Google Maps link must be visible on every page, especially on mobile. A customer who can’t find your hours within 10 seconds will call another pharmacy.
Product catalog or promotions
Even a limited selection of products with current promotions (supplements, cosmetics, medical devices) drives repeat visits to the site. Customers who follow a pharmacy’s promotions online are more loyal than those who land there by chance.
Introducing the pharmacy team
Photos and specialties of your pharmacists build trust — people want to know who is giving them medical advice. Showcasing certifications and areas of specialization (dermopharmacy, oncology pharmacy, etc.) sets the pharmacy apart from the competition.
Pharmacy information and advice section
A blog with advice on taking medication correctly, common drug interactions or seasonal health tips brings in steady organic traffic and shows off the team’s expertise. Useful content = trust = loyalty.
Contact form and an option to ask questions online
Letting customers send a question to the pharmacist through the website (with a reply within X hours) is a valuable service for people with limited mobility or for sensitive questions. It builds loyalty and sets the pharmacy apart.
Pharmacy-specific design and UX
A pharmacy website’s design should convey cleanliness, reliability and medical credibility. The dominant colors are white, pharmacy green and blue — associated with health and medical professionalism. Avoid visual clutter — simplicity and readability come first.
Opening hours and the phone number should sit in the site header, visible on every page and device. On mobile, the “Call now” button must be instantly accessible — many customers open a pharmacy’s website just to make a quick call.
Must-have features for pharmacies and drugstores
- A current promotions section you can update from the backend without technical help.
- An interactive map with the location of every branch (if there is more than one).
- A medical blog with pharmacy advice — draws organic traffic and showcases your expertise.
- An ask-a-pharmacist form with a reply within 24 hours — a valuable service for loyal customers.
Local SEO for pharmacies and drugstores in Timisoara
Pharmacy search terms in Timisoara include: “pharmacy [neighborhood] Timisoara”, “after-hours pharmacy Timisoara”, “drugstore Timisoara”, “herbal products Timisoara”. Each location (if there are several branches) should have its own location page.
A Google Business Profile with the “Pharmacy” category and exact opening hours (including after-hours duty) is the main factor in showing up for “pharmacy open near me” — one of the most common local pharmacy searches.
Pharmacy schema markup gives Google structured information about opening hours, services offered and location — boosting visibility in urgent local searches.

Frequently asked questions about websites for pharmacies and drugstores
What can be sold online from a pharmacy in Romania?
Under Romanian law, OTC (non-prescription) medicines can be sold online with an authorization from ANMDM (Romania’s National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices). Supplements, cosmetics and medical devices can be sold without restrictions. Prescription medicines cannot be sold online. ProjectMedia sets up pharmacy websites in line with the legal requirements.
How much does a pharmacy website cost?
At ProjectMedia, a presentation website with a product catalog, blog and promotions section starts at 2,000–3,500 RON. Pharmacies that need a full online store with system-managed inventory can run 5,000–8,000 RON.
Can I update promotions and stock levels myself?
Yes. Every ProjectMedia website includes a CMS where you can update promotions, prices and blog posts without any technical knowledge. You can manage all your content from a laptop or tablet.
How do I compete online with the big pharmacy chains?
Through local SEO (targeting Timisoara and specific neighborhoods, not all of Romania), quality pharmacy content (a blog with useful advice), extended hours and personalized service (ask a pharmacist online). Independent pharmacies can beat the big chains in local searches if they are better optimized locally.
