This would then lead to the information about applying for each student type.
Website Template Layout
The website template layout is generally set out well although some aspects of it particularly the top half appears very mediocre. . A search bar is present as well as side navigational bar and top navigational bar. The top navigational bar looks squished and would benefit greatly with a size increase and a font change. A click on the current student tab in the homepage sends the user to a page with a number of different headings about different aspects of information current students may need. The page is set out well and explanation of what each heading is about is written underneath.
Home page Layout
The homepage is definitely a strong point for the university website, the "for" and "about" navigational menus categorize information well making it easy to determine where information is, r relevant to each different user type. News board located on the right home page is a good addition to the website. Keeping users informed with important updates about the university and its subsidiary organisations.
