One Stop Centre for Anorexic

Anorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder that leads to death if left untreated. Anorexic
will strive to be as thin as they can. They will deny food and do extreme exercise to
have an ideal weight, but they not realize that they already underweight. The purpose
of this project is to develop a website that uses persuasive theory in order to persuade
anorexic to overcome their eating disorder and to develop an Anorexia website
especially for Malaysian that will act as support system and interaction medium
between anorexic and dietician. By login to this website, Anorexic would able to
follow diet and nutrition plan and can communicate with dietician directly in forum
column. In order to achieve this objective, the author will do a lot of research in
order to have deep understanding about anorexia nervosa, persuasive theory and how
to design and develop a website. The methodology used for designing and
developing this website is Rapid Application Development (RAD) which consists of
four core phases which are planning, analysis, design and development and
implementation. Apart from that the author also included the result and findings from
the survey carried out. The website interface designs are also included based on the
comparison of existing anorexia website and user feedback. Finally, the result from
the usability test that has been carried out is also included. Last but not least the
author concludes with few recommendations in developing this website.
