    The site takes awhile to load. The site has a very clean and professional layout though. Very nice

    Simple but efficient, now if the content is interesting to some people looking for scholarships, then at least the design doesn't come in the way, so if it is useful, it will be used.

    So... of course it is the fault of the 80 readers and not yours for asking a very general question?
    Of course, don't change anything, complaining will help.

    Contents in the first page not enough.

    Maybe use some more interactive methods for visitors. (Since it's wordpress you may find bunch of plugin's that will work for you)

    Yes they can, and then they can complain about the lack of answers.. It's the land of freedom here.

    Oh, yes, it is Pro, i like it :) This simplicity is good nowadays. You know, surfing all day long through hundreds of over-complicated websites is... boring, so, sometimes it is nice to park at a website like yours -- not to much to read, all clear and soothing, pure relaxation :) No, really, i like it. Maybe because my sites are also too heavy and too business, and i am unable to assemble anything like yours. The only thing -- too much air. I would prefer to place the elements a bit closer to each other, i mean VERTICALLY, maybe some millimeters closer. Anyway, it is just my opinion. All the rest is good!

    Hi, It looks very clean and is organised well. Perhaps having a visible phone number, email address or livechat button in the top right could also help. i see you list the features but what about the benefits? What would want to make a student want to sign up with you - how will it benefit them? Perhaps a couple of inbound links on keywords to could improve the onsite optimisation? Will try and think of some more...

    thanks paypoint
    the only reason we have a registration system is for the forum you can enjoy all of our features unregistered
    currently not working 24/7 for the site, but i eventually will, live chat was a great idea and i will add it to my future features list
    can you plz explain inbound links... i dont think you are talking about ads and if thats the case i am oblivious to inbound links, thanks a lot

    the layout and design is real good. i think using ajax will make moving between tabs a bit smoother if u are not using it already

    The site is well done. However, the .me domain doesn't hold too much weight on your niche. A .org is better for that type of niche.

    The site loads very slowly. It has been over 10 seconds and it still has not loaded yet.

    Thanks everyone, the site is inconsistent. At times it can load in 3 sec and many times it can take up to 12 seconds. When it's finishe I will use a cache software and re-index it.

    Inbound links can also be called internal links (link a key word from one page to another - as long as it is relevent).

    The site is clean and well organized. The colors are soothing. But the only problem with the site is that it takes longer to load.
