Product Features
Once we entered the homepage, we noticed several tabs at the top of the page which consists of Fitness, Food and Diet, Health, Beauty, Forums and Community and Calculators and Programs. To the right there was a video clip from a celebrity cooking one of her favorite recipes. There was the option to sign up for a free newsletter although the contents of the newsletter was not mentioned. You simply have to enter your email address and click submit. You can take “today’s poll” which is what we assume is a question that changes daily but there is no link to see the outcome of the poll. There is a “tip for the day” which consists of diet, fitness or beauty advice. At the bottom of the page, readers can purchase Self merchandise such as Self DVD’s.
Advantages
Disadvantages
- The magazine features thin models who seem to have no diet and fitness related issues and there is no customer service phone number found on the website.
- In general, the website is a bit too busy.
- It would be better if the Self.com website was displayed in a more simplified format where readers can simply click on what they want to read instead of including so many things on one page.
