An organization that has it all

The website for the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition, NOCC, is by far the most impressive and attractive sites I have visited thus far in my research on the topic. Any visitor to the site is welcomed with a beautiful slideshow of images representing women, femininity, strength, and vitality all of which are NOCC's core values. The color scheme and graphics used throughout the site is also very complementary to the serenity and comfort that the coalition wishes to provide to women dealing with ovarian cancer and/or are recent survivors of the disease. The website organizes its contents in an easy and navigable layout. The side menu provides links to message boards, support services, and a variety of resources including books, periodicals, and links to other cancer centers. The main purpose of this website is to raise awareness and educate women about ovarian cancer. What I liked most about this website was the fact that that when it does not have the expertise or credentials to answer certain questions, the site makes suggestions for outside web sites that could be of better help. NOCC is a legitimate organization with a valid address and contact information. Its disclaimer acknowledges the coalition's role as a secondary source to a patient's primary health care provider. I found this website to be inviting, honest, and most importantly helpful. NOCC receives a solid rating of 10.
