What is the purpose of a college website? Some say it's about putting across the college's academic point of view to help people improve in education. Others will say it's just to attract people with extra programs and fun things to do on or around campus. I believe the real goal is to attract people who want to better themselves while showing the other benefits of attending said university, while helping them through every step of the attendance process. The Davidson.edu website does a very good job of presenting it to attract a younger audience with academics and various student activities. At first glance, the website is intriguing with photos and videos of things to do in Davidson. As one digs deeper and clicks through to other pages, it shows the academic benefits and how far Davidson can take them. So I think the goal of Davidson.edu is to attract a wide variety of people and help them participate and I think it does that well. The homepage is the most attractive part that attracts people. is a younger, nature-loving crowd. The very first thing seen on the homepage is a slideshow of the main attractions, including the surrounding lakes, rivers and mountains. The homepage also shows how students, such as nature lovers, can visit the college's ecological reserve and enjoy activities including whitewater rafting. Nature lovers will also appreciate the information in the slideshow regarding research and investigations that students may choose to do regarding the work they wish to undertake, such as research in the nearby woods. Davidson also targets a younger audience by placing sports as one of the main attractions on the homepage. Sports is one of the main reasons......in the middle of the paper.......For people who don't really understand Considering how all these things work they give you a number to their admissions office to help you with the entire process. I don't know how they could make things simpler or be more useful. In my opinion, the Davidson College website is about trying to attract a wide variety of diverse people and not limiting the college to a set standard of people. It does this by appealing to athletes, but also to nature lovers who prefer to join clubs that involve whitewater rafting on rivers. Also, not only to get people interested, but to help them every step of the way until they get registered and apply. It helps students by being specific and all important information is obvious and important connections are in sight. Make it impossible not to be interested and make it impossible not to be able to apply.
