Chapter 1
PharmacyBroker.ca
Pharmacy brokerage and valuation platform
Canada wide
Live
What the practice needed
A brokerage needed more than a listings page. Buyers wanted to search real inventory, sellers wanted a defensible number before they would talk, and both wanted to deal with someone who had stood behind a dispensary counter.
What was built
A transaction platform with a searchable directory of Canadian pharmacies, a calibrated valuation engine, and case material that explains the method rather than advertising the outcome.
- Directories covering 1,544 pharmacies in British Columbia and 5,440 in Ontario
- A valuation engine calibrated against completed transactions
- First party enquiry tracking, so the practice knows which pages produce calls
- A public interface that lets AI assistants answer questions about the catalogue
What was reviewed
Written against College advertising standards and Canadian privacy law. Confidential listing material never appears on a public page.

Mediglen Pharmacy and Compounding
Independent community pharmacy with a compounding laboratory
Coquitlam, British Columbia
Live
Live at mediglenpharmacy.com.
What the practice needed
An established pharmacy next to a medical clinic, serving seniors, their adult children, and prescribers. The previous site could be read but not used: its forms silently lost every submission.
What was built
An action oriented site where a patient can request a refill or a transfer, complete a weight management intake, and arrange free local delivery, instead of being told to telephone.
- Refill and transfer requests that reach the pharmacy and are acknowledged
- A seven step clinical intake that saves as you go, so nothing is lost if you stop
- A summary document produced in the patient's own browser at the end of the intake
- A compounding section with eight specialty areas, and a cold chain delivery service across ten cities
- Pharmacist review bylines and a dated last review on the clinical pages
- 19 pages
- 41 internal links, all resolving
- Independent pre launch review, July 2026
What was reviewed
Clinical pages reviewed by two pharmacists licensed in British Columbia for accuracy, current Health Canada authorization status, and consistency with College of Pharmacists of British Columbia practice standards. Last review 13 May 2026. Privacy posture reviewed against PIPEDA and BC PIPA in July 2026.

SkinOnMain
Prescription skincare and hair programme
Vancouver, British Columbia
Built, awaiting launch
Finished and private. Launch waits on remaining sign offs.
What the practice needed
Prescription skincare is usually sold as a subscription box with the formula hidden. The brief was the opposite: let an adult build their own formula, see what each ingredient costs, and be told when a combination does not make sense.
What was built
Two formula builders, one for skin and one for hair, each screened by a safety questionnaire before anything can be built, with a pharmacist check and a prescriber decision at the end.
- A questionnaire that routes to a gentler option, a prescriber flag, or an in person referral, and declines to sell when a red flag appears
- Per ingredient pricing shown as the formula is assembled
- Evidence grades on every active ingredient, so a weak option is labelled as one
- Verified molecular structures drawn from a public chemistry database
- Alerts that fire when two ingredients overlap or do not belong together
What was reviewed
Written to the College of Pharmacists of British Columbia framework for compounding, dispensing and returns, to PIPEDA and BC PIPA for privacy, and to the prescription drug advertising limits in the Food and Drug Regulations. Clinical sign off is pending and every clinical page says so.
Chapter 4
Carebridge Pharmacy
Independent community pharmacy
Vancouver, British Columbia
Built, awaiting launch
A finished build of 68 pages, waiting for the practice to open under this name.
What the practice needed
A pharmacy that does compounding, multi dose packaging, seniors care, delivery and a set of virtual clinics needed all of it to be findable, and needed a patient, a caregiver or a prescriber to be able to start the right request without telephoning.
What was built
Sixty eight pages organised so that every service has a real entry point, from a refill to a compounded preparation to an enrolment in a packaging programme.
- Eight request paths, each going to the people who can act on it
- A compounding section with a forms table and eight specialty pages
- A seniors programme presented as a comparison a family can act on
- Twenty neighbourhood delivery pages and eleven city pages
- Care consent and marketing consent kept as separate choices, never bundled
- 68 pages
- 212 structured data blocks, all valid
- Zero broken links at the last full check
What was reviewed
Prescription drug pages written to section C.01.044 of the Food and Drug Regulations, which limits what may be said to name, price and quantity. Licensure and pharmacist identification applied per College of Pharmacists of British Columbia guidance. Privacy policy written against PIPEDA and BC PIPA. Counsel review is outstanding and is required before launch.
Chapter 5
Vytals
Preventive laboratory testing platform
Vancouver, British Columbia
Live
The website is live. The service itself is pre launch, and the site says so on every relevant page.
What the practice needed
Private laboratory testing is sold either as a mystery panel or as a wall of test names. The brief was to make a catalogue explorable by a person who is curious but not clinical, without implying that any of it replaces a doctor.
What was built
A catalogue of 68 tests across 15 categories, explored through the body, through a line of work, or through ancestry, with a panel builder that shows what a selection would cost.
- An interactive body explorer with reference profiles
- An occupational view that maps a trade to the exposures associated with it
- A deliberate distinction between a test that exists and an exposure with no validated marker
- A results view that explains a number in plain language and tracks it over time
- Clear labelling of every illustrative figure, including the sample dashboard and the placeholder prices
- 68 tests across 15 categories
- Page speed 83 on mobile and 99 on desktop, one laboratory measurement on 5 September 2026
What was reviewed
Occupational and ancestry content built on an internal evidence discipline: named monograph sources cited for specific exposures, groups kept distinct rather than merged, and no exposure limits reproduced. Last internal review 6 September 2026. Regulatory counsel review has not taken place and the site does not claim otherwise.

quitOH
Alcohol support programme
British Columbia
Built, awaiting launch
Built and briefly live. Currently behind a holding page while the programme waits to open.
What the practice needed
Most people who wonder about their drinking never ask anyone. The brief was to make the first step private, free, and impossible to feel judged by, and to route the small number of people in danger to help immediately.
What was built
A screening and intake pathway that treats drinking less and stopping as equally valid goals, with safety gates that interrupt the flow when the answers call for it.
- A recognised screening questionnaire, one question at a time, saving as you go
- A withdrawal safety gate that stops and redirects to urgent care when needed
- A self harm question answered with crisis guidance rather than a form field
- Crisis lines present in the footer of every page, not buried on a contact page
- An evidence page that states plainly what is well supported and what is not
What was reviewed
Content written against the 2023 Canadian guideline for high risk drinking and alcohol use disorder, the WHO screening instrument, Health Canada limits on prescription drug advertising to the public, and College advertising norms for pharmacists and physicians. Clinical reviewers are named on the site.
Chapter 7
NovaMed Pharmacy
Independent community pharmacy
Burnaby, British Columbia
Built, awaiting launch
Published at its own domain and deliberately kept out of search until the legal review of the privacy and terms pages is finished.
What the practice needed
A new pharmacy opening beside a medical clinic, sharing a front door with it but not a legal entity. It needed a presence that stood on its own, in English and Farsi, and that never read as a department of the clinic next door.
What was built
Twelve pages that explain what the pharmacy does before it opens, with every service described in the language a patient would use to ask for it.
- Bilingual presentation in English and Farsi
- A three tier delivery service set out as a table, mirrored exactly in the underlying structured data
- Minor ailment prescribing explained against the provincial list, rather than implied
- Compliance packaging written for the family member who arranges it, not for the pharmacist
- Request forms that state plainly that they are not live yet, rather than quietly failing
- 12 pages
- Built in parallel with the clinic site, roughly five weeks for the pair
- One H1 per page, and no horizontal overflow at 1440, 720 or 390 pixels
What was reviewed
Content reviewed on 9 September 2026 in an independent website audit against College of Pharmacists of British Columbia guidance for pharmacy content and the provincial PharmaCare minor ailments policy, alongside the practice's own pharmacy regulatory review dated 7 August 2026. The audit identified items to correct; it is not a clearance, and the legal review of the privacy and terms pages is still outstanding.
Chapter 8
NovaMed Medical Clinic
Family medicine and walk in clinic
Burnaby, British Columbia
Built, awaiting launch
Published at its own domain and deliberately kept out of search until the legal review of the privacy and terms pages is finished.
What the practice needed
A family practice opening at the same address as the pharmacy, under separate ownership. The site had to make the separation obvious while sharing a design language, and had to say what a visit costs when the province does not pay for it.
What was built
Twenty one pages covering each service a physician here provides, with the two things patients most often cannot find anywhere else published in full.
- A published fee schedule for services that are not publicly insured, rather than a number quoted on request
- A patient facing notice explaining the clinic's use of AI assisted documentation, which is unusual for a practice this size
- A separate consent page for electronic communication
- A service page for each line of care, from walk in to chronic disease
- A cross reference to the pharmacy that keeps the two businesses visibly distinct
- 21 pages
- 149 structured data blocks across the two sites, all valid
- Independent website and content audit, 9 September 2026
What was reviewed
Content reviewed on 9 September 2026 in an independent website audit against the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia Primary Care Provision standard dated 1 April 2026, current College advertising guidance, and the provincial privacy commissioner's guidance on AI scribes. The audit identified items to correct; it is not a clearance, and the legal review of the privacy and terms pages is still outstanding.

PawsOnMainRx
Veterinary compounding service
Vancouver, British Columbia
Live
Live at pawsonmainrx.ca.
What the practice needed
Animals refuse medication for reasons people do not: the wrong flavour, the wrong form, a dose that does not exist commercially. Owners and veterinary clinics needed to see what is possible before asking.
What was built
A catalogue of example preparations, browsable by animal and by health concern, with guidance on the forms, strengths and flavours that make a medicine acceptable to a particular species.
- A single page that speaks to owners or to veterinarians, changing its language and palette at a switch
- Photographs that begin to move a moment after the page settles, with a still fallback and full respect for reduced motion
- Six species sections and nineteen health concerns, cross linked both ways
- Flavour guidance by species, which is the question that actually decides whether a cat takes a dose
- 691 example preparations
- 285 active ingredients
- 19 therapeutic categories across 6 animal families
What was reviewed
Written with reference to College of Pharmacists of British Columbia expectations for a pharmacy website and to Canadian privacy law. Claims specific to a licensed practice were removed when the site was converted to a demonstration.

GLPonMain
Medically supervised weight management programme
British Columbia
In preparation
What the practice needed
Weight management medication is advertised aggressively and dispensed casually. The brief was to build something that screens properly, refuses politely, and never takes money before a prescriber has agreed.
What was built
An assessment that recomputes every safety decision on the server, so a determined person cannot click past a contraindication, paired with pricing published in full.
- Safety screening that ends the process, with an explanation, when an answer requires it
- An explicit option to deny every screened condition, so silence is never read as a no
- Consents presented as separate cards, with marketing consent visibly optional and never a condition of care
- No payment taken at assessment; a card is only charged once a prescriber has approved
- Answers held in the page and never written into the browser's storage
What was reviewed
Written to section C.01.044 of the Food and Drug Regulations, College advertising norms for pharmacists and physicians, provincial rules on patient choice of pharmacy, and accessibility guidelines. Internal review 7 July 2026, including a check for efficacy claims attached to any named medicine. Counsel review is the outstanding item before launch.
Chapter 11
ADHD on Main
Adult ADHD assessment clinic
British Columbia
In preparation
What the practice needed
The people this serves are, by definition, easily overwhelmed and likely to abandon a long form. Every decision followed from that: nothing lost, nothing rushed, nothing that reads as a test you can fail.
What was built
A free three minute self check that leads, at the person's own pace, to a fourteen section assessment which can be left and resumed without losing a word.
- One question per screen, with real life examples instead of clinical phrasing
- Continuous saving and no time limit, so an interrupted session costs nothing
- A focus mode that hides everything except the question in front of you
- Three text sizes and a light and dark setting, chosen by the reader
- A clear statement beside the payment button that an assessment does not guarantee any particular outcome
What was reviewed
Written to College advertising norms for pharmacists and physicians, a recognised Canadian assessment framework, PIPEDA and BC PIPA, anti spam law for reminders, accessibility guidelines, and the restriction on advertising controlled medicines to the public, which is why medicines are discussed only by category. Review by health law counsel has not taken place.
Chapter 12
TRTonMain
Testosterone assessment and monitoring programme
Canada
In preparation
What the practice needed
This is a field full of sites that sell first and test later. The brief was to invert it: no diagnosis without blood work, no prescription promised at any point, and an honest answer when the problem turns out to be something else.
What was built
A labs first pathway, where confirmatory morning blood work is ordered and interpreted by an independent prescriber before any treatment conversation happens.
- A statement in the first screen that only blood tests diagnose the condition and a prescriber decides
- An assessment that stops for age, province, or a goal the programme will not serve
- A gate that cannot be passed until laboratory results are on file
- Six separate consents, including one about effects on fertility
- Results shown with reference ranges, so a number means something
What was reviewed
Built to the advertising restrictions that apply to controlled substances, College advertising and inducement rules for pharmacists, College advertising norms for physicians, privacy law, and accessibility guidelines. Education pages reviewed by two pharmacists licensed in British Columbia, 8 July 2026. External legal review has not taken place.
