Comments:
The website is constructed as a toolset and resources to achieve a healthier lifestyle. The website is successful in helping to implement better habits in people’s mind and as a marketplace for sharing interests in healthier living.
The use of Videos is prominent on the website but they appear as advertisements . This shows a very limited use of such feature.
The use of Wellpoint and sms reminder are both very interesting concepts I am eager to reproduce in a similar form.
