Long gone are the days when college recruiters visited high schools to advertise their academic programs in an attempt to achieve student’s registration to their courses. Now, with the aid of web technology, most famous universities have created their own website as an effective marketing tool used to entice students to their institution. With the university’s website, students can easily scope out what the university has to offer and compare it with other universities.

What makes an effective university website then? It should provide great user experiences such as smooth user interactivity, attractive design, informative content and ease of use. Among these requirements, website’s design is what initially captures the user’s attention and attracts them to explore the institution’s offerings.
