Web page design - help needed

[watervole]

I'd really appreciate it if you could look at the four websites below and give me your feelings regarding them.  The Dupuytren Society are looking to redo their website and have had various recommendations made to them.  I'd like people's reactions to some sites that have been used as comparisons.  We need a rather larger sample of reactions than we currently have.

British Heart Foundation

Dupuytren Foundation

Diabetes UK

Dupuytren Society

Please imagine that you are interested in heart disease/diabetes/Dupuytren's as patient/friend of a patient/doctor

What is your reaction to each of these sites?

Do you feel they are likely to have useful information?

Is it easy to find the information?

Does the site look interesting?

Does the site look professional?

Does the site make you want to carry on reading?

Does the site feel trustworthy?

What are the good and bad things about each site from your personal viewpoint?

It would help if you would say with your comments whether you consider yourself an academic or not (I have a feeling - and I don't know if it's right or wrong - that this may affect the kind of site that you prefer.)
