The scrutiny continues! Hehehe. For this batch, I got offers from several companies... Eight out of ten offers being from plastic surgery companies. It feels weird, but what the heck.



Scrutiny #3: MyBodyPart.com



MyBodyPart.com is a network of plastic surgeons in the United States. Aside from (obviously) giving surgeons a place in the Internet, the website's aim is to be a directory to help people who are looking for plastic surgery. Like, if you're looking for Orange County plastic surgery, all you have to do is go to the website and look at their directory.


Okay, I'm going to be honest here: As a web designer, I didn't like the website. At all. About the only nice thing I liked about the design is that the banner has a nicely masked photo.

Colors: Although my favorite color is blue, and I tend to like blue-colored websites, this one made me wince a bit. The blues and white would've been fine, but the red boxes here and there totally destroyed the design. They stuck out like a sore thumb.

Layout: The sidebar on the left would've been better off with a background color, too. Maybe the dark blue they used on the banner? Also, they have WAY too much advertisements, too. Or maybe they just couldn't fix adds in an attractive way? I mean, it IS possible, as I've seen websites with a hundred Google Ads on them, but they didn't look annoying...

Navigation: The good thing about this is that the navigation tools are right where they're supposed to be, and I guess they're pretty much organized. But to tell you the truth, I still felt kind of lost as I browsed the site. In the homepage, it says on the introduction that the website is a network for surgeons. But as I browsed through the site, I kept thinking: where is the network? Okay, maybe I just couldn't see it when it was right in front of my eyes, but isn't it that important links should be visible? So visible that it should be seen even when someone isn't looking it?

Content: Maybe this is the second thing I like about the site. It has a lot of literature about plastic surgery. On top of that, they have literature about surgery in the cities they've got listed.

*sigh*

I'm sorry if I sound oh-too-critical, but...yeah. I would rate this site 1 out of 10. Lots to work on, really. Maybe they should get professional web designers to work on improving their site.
