eNutritioncare.com - We provide Medical Nutrition Therapy(MNT) delivered entirely by registered dietitian.  There are no canned diets generated on this site, everything is custom designed by a real person for a real person.  We can manage nutrition related issues as simple as healthy eating and weight loss to issues as complex as celiac disease and pediatric failure to thrive. I look forward to your critique.

Keith,
 
I really like the site. Great look and colors. Easy navigation. Enough info, not too much or too cluttered. I`m into fitness and health big time and I understand what you are doing. I think if you reach the right people it will be a hit for sure.
 
One suggestion....If I were interested, I would like to call a 1-800 number and talk to a real person first.

Hi there,

Pretty good start.  A few things I`ll mention:

  1. The middle content area on the home page is way too jumbled.  Not sure where to look and cannot tell if I can click on things or not. 
  2. You need to look at your site in browsers other than IE. In firefox, font sizes and other issues appear.
  3. Your home page has a critical HTML validation error that might be problematic in some browsers (I think there is a missing quote somewhere).
  4. That jumbled approach to the content seems to be replicated in the various content areas.  If you make me work to hard to read and understand and pull my eyes in too many ways all at the same time, I will probably give up.
  5. It is very uncommon for a "home" button to have sub-categories like on your site. 
  6. The sub-navigation style could be significantly improved to look like the rest of your site without much effort.
  7. The send button on your contact page is just text - which many people may not even notice since it is so small and it is very uncommon to use text as contact submit buttons.
  8. The design of the contact page with the contact info next to the form like that is not as nice as it could/should be for an online store like this.
  9. Contact Us should be one of the links that is obvious on each and every page.
There you go, hope you find some of that useful. ;)

Thank you for the support.  We are trying very hard to make it better,  we`ve been kicking around the 800 number for a while, the only problem is that it moves us away from our model.  Thank you again for the kind words.

Hi Keith, Jc had good points. Here`s a couple of mine:
1) Same Flash banner on the left of every page - what`s the point?
2) Most content comes as images. Doesn`t really help your site to be seen by search engines.
3) HTML code not clean.
4) On one of the pages I was scared by a male voice which started saying something. Autoplay audio/video is a no-no unless you`re specifically on an audio/video sharing site such as Youtube.

Infilta - Thank you, my past experience with web developers have been awful.  This site cost me about $150,000, $100,000 over budget and nine months late.  Now I`m trying to market the site and fix all the short comings as I can afford it.  Thank you for your comments I really appreciate it.

Are you serious??? Wow. Well, it was a complete rip off.
So how are you intending to fix it?

I`m working with a freelance developer and we are doing it bit by bit.  I`m thinking about going out and getting more financing.  I`m working with a few wellness companies that are thinking about using our services, so there is some definite interest.  I`ve had to stop the google ads, because of budget, but we are still getting traffic.  Really all I can say is that it is very slow going.

I had an interesting comment from some one yesterday, she is a main contact with one of the wellness companies.  I`m working with them on co-branding the site.  She said that I should not worry about them stealing the idea, because the infrastructure is too hard to put in place and it would be easier and cheaper for them to use us. Now I`m worried about them stealing the idea.  If I had more funds I would pay for the co-branding myself to take that hurdle away from in front them. This would make adoption easier from their standpoint.

It`s been a real tough road.
