The Egyptian IVF-ET Center - Home Page - 1 views

Nisha Polavarapu on 10 Nov 08This website was strikingly different from the various other IVF websites from other countries. The homepage does not go into the procedure or results, but instead presents its doctors. Looking at the picture of the group of people dressed in scrubs and hair nets, I felt as though the website was focused on expressing the importance of their staff and the professionalism that they can offer. There were very few colors and the layout was very plain and dull. I felt that the website wanted to stress the credibility of their employees, listing publications and giving descriptions of some of the members of their doctors. Moreover, the one bit of information provided by The Egyptian IVF-ET Center was that it was established in 1986, further stressing their integrity. I did find this website to be appealing as it did not provide any information about the procedure, results, prices, etc. There is quite a difference between the Egyptian standpoint of marketing and representing its company and the Western viewpoint. Although this technique may not appeal to us or the Western viewers, the Egyptian culture may pride itself on credibility, in which case, viewers from Egypt may enjoy the facts about the staff.
