First impression:
When I first visited fitness2k’s home page I experienced a healthy and peaceful feeling, I guess brought up by its simple and clean design. Its relaxed ambiance made me want to read more, in search of the story behind the main page.

Look and Layout:
Colors and fonts are consistent in their look and feel, which make the site a subtle place to browse through.
Their choice of natural, soft colors make you feel like anything you get here will be only pure and beneficial for your health. The look and feel of each page is consistent throughout the site. The green colored leaves on the main heather and the pictures of people with white doctor’s coats work well together and help to bring out a message of credibility.

Content:
After reading their welcome message on the home page (Welcome to Your Source for Independent Information about Weight Loss!)
I expected to be in one of those sites where you could retrieve lots of information on different weight loss products and weight loss methods. It was only after being smartly directed to their (3) recommended products that I came to understand the real site’s purpose.
At fitness2k you can buy weight loss pills based on natural ingredients.

Navigation and Ease of Use:
Fitness2k is relatively small site. It has only a few pages which can be easily accessed through the links on the left site.
All information is nicely and smoothly presented and it is easily accessible.
The various links included to their recommended products’ home page, add extra credibility to the site’s information.

In Closing:
Neat, refreshing looking site, easy to navigate and easy to find your way around.
I would have liked to see more detailed information on nutrition and health food than just some superficial quotes on fast food and fat. But then this is just my personal taste.
I also would have liked to read more about the site’s owner/s on the ‘about us’ area; this space simply shows a picture of a group of doctors and tells nothing specific about the site’s owner/s.

My rating: 4 out of 5

Review:

I have now been looking at this site for a few mins, I understand the concept behind the site and think its a very good one, but please dont take offence or in the wrong way when you read this review – Please read the full review.

Layout:

Very basic, this is really the only problem I have found with this site. I does look like a few tables have been put together. The only colours can be found in the menu buttons, some small pic’s on the menu and in some of the writing.

I personally think that, yes adverts are the main income for most sites, but sometimes they can be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Its going to sound evil but I honestly dont like looking for good deals on food etc whilst a oxfam ad flashes at me to help people poorer then me (long story why, will post in general).

- note: Just clicked the side menu and it turns out it was a banner -

The layout is the only thing which has let the site down

Content:

Impressive to say the least, it must have taken alot of time to amass this much information on differnt products then add them to a database alongside having the latest offers and the codes. Im suprised you can keep it so up to date. Well done

Ease of use:

When you get past the confusion I had (thinking that the pic’s to the side was a menu when it really was a banner lol) its very VERY easy to use, its the only time that the simple constant layout comes into play as a winner, yes I said some bad things about the layout but it does come in handy.

Overall:

Once you get past the look of the site you will be suprised how much information and good deals you can get from this site, I was very impressed by how much information is on the site. A good 4 out of 5 happy faces (only 4 because the layout is still to simple for my liking – sorry)

Raiting: 4/5
