The BHF site is a bit "in your face", I opened the link and almost mentally took a step backwards as I was presented with the "Angina Monologues" banner and Victoria Wood.
If you can get past that, it's pretty good, the sub-pages are reasonably well laid out with the menu on the left, information in the middle and "highlights" on the right (although I don't particularly like the font they've used on the top of the highlights boxes, but that's a minor niggle)
The Dupuytren Foundation site isn't too bad, although they waste a lot of space with the images on the left. Apparently research shows that people look at sites in an F-shape, ie looking across the top, down the left hand side, then across the middle, but on this site the visible part of the left side is occupied by pictures which don't really give any useful content and you have to scroll down to find the information About etc or look on the right hand side.
(It also annoys me where it says "Dupuytren's Disease is a benign condition which affects millions of Americans" as if nobody else in the world is affected by it!)
The layout of the Diabetes site is also a bit poor IMO, there's too much information crammed into the space without much thought for ease of use, Latest News/ Recipes/ Highlights. I almost missed the "Essential Information" box because it's on a grey background and gets "shouted down" by all the colour around it.
Finally the Dupuytren Online site says "Amateur!" in big letters. It looks like so many other "plug in your own content" sites. There is information there, but the left hand menu is poorly laid out and the sub pages lack good titles, highlights etc to draw you to the important bits.
PS A week or so ago there was a question on University Challenge asking which part of the body was affected by Dupuytren's Contracture and I thought "I know that!" :-)
