    Hi there,

    I have recently made my website www.oneclickprospectus.com live. It aims to encourage students to use online prospectuses, giving them easy access.

    I would appreciate any feedback (or criticism) on the functionality, design or anything else!

    The heart looks fairly out of place for a site trying market online use, I don't know what would look better but it just looks funny to me.

    Hi..
    1. I think the green background is good enough and you don't have to make any changes in that
    2. Your idea is good and above all the message of saving trees should be promoted more as it has lot of power to attract advertisement from NGO and other organizations
    3. Your site is particulalry dedicated to one country, you should have the option to make it Global by adding one more drop down box of "Countries"
    4. You need to add more content
    5. Connect your site with social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook and add their icons on your site.

    Rest your site is good and is an innovative way to save trees. All the best

    I think viny has a good point that you should focus on saving trees/environment. So for the heart maybe you could do something in that direction like some kind of recycling sign or tree.

    Nice idea, that could become something. I would shorten the text on the right side - better three bold eye-catching sentences, than three paragraphs that no one reads. Also, the heart-leaf should have some more leaf-indicating features ;)

    The green color is soothing. I have some suggestions:
    1) Provide some search in the quick links
    2) In the TextArea for "Your Postcode" when we leave withour enterung anything it should again show "Your Postcode"
    3) "Quick Link" and "Search Institutions Near You" should not be horizontally alligned.
    4) When we click on any coolege, it should show "You will be directed to the official website of the university/ college".


    Rest its a good idea, a small website and informative too.
    Thumbs up to you

    1.In my oppinion,with this website you let your visitors to go away too easy...try to build step by step a database about all these colleges,and offer this info on YOUR website(pictures welcome)
    2.Probbably you may specify the COUNTRY for ZIP code(USA,UK,etc.).
    3.I like your fresh,light and clear design.

    Thanks for the help. I'm not sure what other content I could add without it getting too far from the focus of the website (if you follow me). I agree that I need to do some social networking - it's a shame oneclickprospectus is too long for a Twitter name!

    I'm not sure whether it needs to be global. It would make things too messy, in my opinion.

    That was the impression I was trying to give with the heart, but I'll see what else I can think of.

    I want to get it all across, though. Do you think it's still possible in a few sentences?

    It isn't, no. I've made a few before and then sold them soon after. I'm not sure what my plans are for this one!

    So you think you should be able to search for say Cambridge and get results? Okay I'll consider it. Also, do you mean every time you revisit, you won't have to re-enter the postcode?

    The thing is, UCAS.com, individual universities and whatuni.com seem to have this all covered. I wanted to fit into the niche of an environmental onlook whilst offering a quick solution to finding prospectuses.

    Did you use a CMS to build pages?

    Just wondering how you worked out to get those "simply looking" pages... I mean: clean design. Most of the time CMS's are messing the pages with thousand widgets that you don't want.

    the only remark to makes is How about changing the discordant plural form of Latin word "prospectus" with the synonym, such as "brochures" or like that? I believe it would be more efficient.
