Students and Universities Value Security Over Style

London, United Kingdom, January 06, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Students and universities value security over style in website design when using services designed for them say the results of a straw poll for university prospectus request service OneUniForm.com.

Following a website redesign over the Christmas period, the newly developed service found that website traffic from students and institutions increased gradually but the amount of time spent on the website increased by up to 400%.

With universities and colleges struggling to meet the government’s 2010 target for 50% of all young people to be in higher education the results prove that NGO’s and businesses must place more emphasis on clearer, safer and more secure website designs.

Whilst it is apparent that some institutions need to be attracted by an appealing website in the first instance, creator of OneUniForm.com, John Salvador believes this must be strictly limited to the home page. “Statistics do not lie. Businesses and NGO’s working to the 2010 target must sit up and take notice.”

As the 2010 target approaches fast, it is unclear what impact businesses and NGO’s will have on its success but it is apparent that universities and students know what they want to see to attract their business.

OneUniForm.com is a university prospectus request service.
