The use of a methodology for the evaluation, comparison, and quality improvement of Health Web Sites is justified by its widespread adoption and visibility to Internet users.

This chapter proposes three different dimensions for the development of quality evaluation methodologies of Health Web Sites: contents, services, and technical. The authors consider that these dimensions should be addressed transversally, providing an integrated and better overall evaluation.
