For any university, attracting the right fit and talent is the ultimate goal. A university website serves as a tool in finding the right talent and allows potential students to find the right university. With this purpose in mind, a university website must give an open picture about the university and let students find important information such as courses and application deadlines. Let us see what makes a great university website:
Authentic & High Quality Photos & Videos
Every prospective student would like to know what is the kind of life that people at a particular university lead. With authentic and high-quality photographs, you can show this effectively. Make sure that you employ photos that show diverse activities ranging from sport activities at your campus to academic events to cultural festivals. This is important as showcasing diverse activities promise a holistic growth to prospective students. Moreover, in order to let prospective students know about the life at the university, you can employ videos which feature students sharing their university experience.
Succinct Information About The University
It is important that you give information about your university in a brief and interesting manner. So, make sure the about us page is not loaded with text that most people leave only halfway through. With respect to the information about the university’s achievements and rankings, highlight these in brief bold statements along with infographics and statistics.
Bold Call To Action (CTA) Buttons
A university website must provide relevant CTA buttons such as an “apply now” button, and “plan a visit” button on its homepage and if possible, on the page of every department since it is very likely for a student to want to take a relevant action after viewing essential information about a department of his/her interest. Bold CTAs allow a prospective student to perform a relevant action with ease and speed.
Clearly Laid Out Course Details
All courses and departments must be clearly laid out in a bold typeface. Prospective students must be able to find courses of interest easily and find sufficient details too. A drop down menu enlisting all the departments can work fine. Additionally, important details such as coursework, application deadlines, and companies that have previously recruited from a particular department must be mentioned.
A Suitable Platform
Lastly, you would need a suitable platform for building a website that can be rendered with the aforementioned features, and holds a good reputation in delivering website solutions for universities. Additionally, it must be easy to upgrade important content such as news and application deadlines on a university website. For requirements such as these, you would be required to employ a content management system, which has been previously used for building websites for universities. There are two names in the arena of CMS platforms which have been successfully deployed for big university names such as MIT and Harvard. They are - Drupal and Joomla. Moreover, a customized design solution can be implemented upon these platforms with the deployment of PSD conversion services.
Therefore, with a PSD to Joomla or PSD to Drupal Conversion Service, you can have a website for your university whose design features are customized to perfection.
