What do you think of this chiropractic practice website?
This is an unusual website for a chiropractic practice. It has been running for several years, and I used to use it as an example of what NOT to do in a website, because it took several clicks to get into the site and I didn’t like the sound (personal preference - I don’t like sounds/music on websites).
I recently saw on a group discussion that the chiropractors who saw this site loved it.
My question is this: Pretend you are NOT a chiropractor. Would you like this site? Would you go through the trouble to click to get to the “real” home page? I know it’s difficult to imagine yourself without a chiropractic background, but as a web user, I’m sure you can look at it like any other site. Ask family and friends.

Post a comment and let me know what you think of this as a website. Compare it to other websites you see and like, not just to other chiropractic websites.
Here are a couple of Chiropractic Economics articles on this subject:
i personally do not like the site. too much going on! and it scared me some.
No, I did not like it for a health care provider. It might work for a medical supply house selling plastic spines and equipment but not a health care provider.
It is clever, catchy and non-serious which conveys a professional clown image instead of a professional chiropractor image, imo.
However, if it works, then its a good site regardless.
I find this website wonderful! It will put a smile on people’s faces and at the same time it is professional yet, light.
I think it’s funny, and I think the web animation was good. Would I use it for my business? No. I’m not a fan of the sounds and having to click through to find any content. Although they at least had the address and phone # on the first page.
I made the website www.health4lifechiropractic.com. It’s “barebones”, but I think it gives all the facts that are necessary without all the frills. It could use a prettier home page and I would like to add the patient forms. www.primespine.com is another site for the same office that a professional was paid to make. Which do you like better?
I liked it. Why do we always have to be so serious. Chiropractic is about making your life fun and full of living. Have a look at our website and see how it makes you feel. www.TotalLifestyleChiropractic.com
