Education Institute Website Fate

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE WEBSITES

Among many other possible purposes, your website should first represent your educational institute. Everything that an educational institute and its staff with student does represents the campus of the educational institute and its various activities. From the way you provide basic information to the way you information relevant to the institute leave and impact on the brand value of the educational institute on web.
All organization hire a best vendor to create your work environment (labs, building, furniture and class room), promotional materials (Brochures, Prospectus, Banner,etc), menus and so forth.

Some basic thought which can be worked on with a reasonable answer
1. Why do so many educational institute let someone with no training or experience create their website that represents their Educational organization?
2. Educational Institutes  have a good website created, but then do nothing with it for years?
3. How frequently an institute  website is updated?

A website is an extension of your organization and also a promotional tool for marketing just like the brochure that everyone labors over for months before an event or before start of new admission session. Hopefully you treat the website with the same attention to detail just like one treats the other promotional and infrastructure of the institute.

Relevant Content & Updation
The website should end up with perfect content too, but with more interactive elements to get your potential students to act (much more actually, but that is not what this blog entry is about).

So moving on - when your website is not updated it tells the potential students you are unorganized and don't care if your students  have up-to-date information. Now the potential students if they are still actually interested, needs to call to make sure they have the most recent information. Or you may have lost  new student every time in new session .

Cost Saving And Save Paper
Having a good website can make everything else cheaper. Your radio, newspaper, yellow pages and television spots can be shorter, which saves you money.
Students can download tutorial and latest syllabus with detail course content which should be easily available from website …SAVE PAPER

Your website is one of your marquee marketing and providing support to existing students for various activities. If a good website is working for you 24 hours a day, a sub par website is working against you 24 hours a day. A good one can even add to your bottom line.
Spending on promotion of website

Many management blames that website is not effective tool for promoting business of increasing students registrations. How many times has someone advised to the management of the colleges to promote their organization website on web, just like they are advised to promote their business  in news paper, Banners, Hoarding, TV commercials, have the management ever spent 5% of the total marketing annual budget. As the saying goes you get what you pay can work perfectly if one calculates the amount of revenue spent on website promotion and business generated from the website in terms of effective leads.

Placement Assistance
Best colleges are rated from the placements that is achieved for the final year students and also the salary package offered to them. A management of the college can preview their own website and try to justify themselves whether their current website can be of any assistance to the placement cell of the institute….if not its time to rething about the features that should be available on the website to ease the placement operation and also organizing it in a structured way.
