RE: Look and feel critique - HealthStatus II

35 secs on a 33.6 modem connected at 21.6kbps. On the font size, I happen to like the larger text, but I am far sighted, thus larger
text is easier for me to read. Typically for me 12pt text is the easiest to read. Running Win 98, viewed the site with IE 4.01 "of
course:)", 1024x768x16million colors. On the main page, the green column on the right, I think you should make it wider so the text
does not wrap so badly as to have only 1 or 2 words per line. Thats about it. As for overall "feel", I'm not sure if you have
accomplished the feel of a "comfy" site. The reason for this I believe is the bright green and blue. In my humble opinion, Earth
Tones seem to be soothing or very sub-dued tones of other colors.
take Care, Nicholas

Subject: Look and feel critique - HealthStatus II


Good evening,
   Thanks to those that visited my site and commented, I have made some
adjustments, and would now like some second pass feedback.  I KNOW the code
is a mess we are transitioning away from Frontpage, I am looking for look,
feel and flow.  I'll pass this along as FYI, almost all reviews thought my
font size was a little excessive. 85% of the people utilizing the site thus
far have been 40+ so we felt a little bigger was appropriate to the
audience.  These users are concerned about their health and lifestyle habits
(maybe a tad insecure in those areas), so we don't want a "slick" looking
site, but more a warm comfortable site, that instills trust and sense of
wanting to help them.  The new modified site is at
http://www.healthstatus.org the original site is still at
http://www.healthstatus.com  It has surprised me in reading the critiques
over the last six months, that very seldom is the target audience considered
in the critique.  It seems that is the MOST critical part.  Artists and
creatives very seldom like what 80% of the population likes (at a given
moment) yet it is the 80% we are trying to appeal to.  Well enough
rambling....

Thanks for the critiques performed and the ones to come.

Greg White
