I was just wondering because it looks quite OK, but I saw some small graphical quirks that made me think 'professional design with modifications by a programmer' (no offense, I have the worst taste and no skills in design myself, but I've been studying design basics lately and I'm starting to notice things like the wrong color green box on the right on the 'IMC Femme' page which sticks out like a sore thumb).
Also the 'main' box where you enter height and weight can I think be made much nicer looking with a few small modifications, I think it's important for you if you want others to put your widget on their site. The numbers in the stars are too big and not properly centered, the stars themselves are too big, the alignment of all elements is off (text not centered, button not aligned to other elements, no padding in the box title, bottom padding too big or not in balance with other padding).
All of this from somebody who doesn't know anything about design so I may just be talking out of my ass here.
I have mixed experiences with getting design off odesk/elance-like sites, and I'm a cheapskate and afraid to spend money on my own products without being sure that it will pay itself back. Which is a self-fulfilling prophecy because crappy looking things will sell badly, too.
Anyway I'm quite impressed how you're coming up with multiple ways to spin such a basic thing like a BMI calculator. I hope you will find ways to make this work and make money for you.
- toumhi 15y agohey Roel, thanks for the detailed critic :-) It's true I'm a software developer and design is difficult for me. I've noted your points and will try to address them with my designer. BTW, are you dutch (your name)? I'm French but am based in Amsterdam :-)
