Just one comment. You should not put the green color when the BMI is below average. That could make people think that their correct weight is when they are too skinny. I think that this is not a good thing for the people who are worried for their bmi.

Apart from that it looks great :)

What's your background - software or design? Did you do the design yourself?

Hey roel, I'm a software developer. I outsourced the design through Odesk (for something like 200 euros). You have to test a few designers to find one you like but it's so worth it not to spend tons of time myself to end with a crappy design anyway :-)

I hadn't realized that. I got several comments because of other color problems. Other people have told me that they thought there was a problem because of the result in red text (it's always red). So you're skinny uh? :-) Thanks for the feedback!

Red should probably be on both ends of the scale, with green in the middle. Also I had to go and convert stuff, but obviously not aimed at Americans.

Have you thought about expanding the scope and making this into a possible larger business? It seems you could provide calculators for other stuff too like calories, cholesterol, etc

Yeah that's true but I chose the domain specifically to calculate the BMI (calculerimc.com -> "bmi calculator").It could still potentially accomodate more calculators though. For now, I want to build traffic to "BMI calculator" keywords and then possibly branch out to more calculators.
