You have ten seconds.

Ten seconds for what, you may ask? Ten seconds to impress upon a visitor that your institution is trendy. Up to date. Current with the culture of it’s perspective students. Elegant. Diverse. Upscale. Larger than life. As intimate as possible. Faith-inspired. All-inclusive. Dedicated to serving it’s community. Focused on giving back to it’s city. Inspired by a larger entity. Simply outstanding.

Truthfully, ten seconds is all that you need. That is, if you have an up-to-date website.

Ten seconds is all it takes for a user’s eye to scan across the logo of your site, across the navigation, down past any photos on the page… looking for something to literally catch their eye. In those three items mentioned above, all fourteen descriptors can be addressed with the use of solid web design principles.

Think of what your potential customers - prospective students - are looking for. Think about those things at which your college or university excels. Furthermore, think about strong points for which your college or university are known. Does your website point out these points?

Take a look at your institution’s promotional mailers, and compare them to your school’s website. Do they seem equal, or is something definitely missing. Can you spot the difference? Trust me, your prospective student can.
