Prospects Launches New Look Website

Feb. 12, 2010 - PRLog -- A new website to provide visitors with a virtual experience, information and industry knowledge, in education and careers and much more is launched this month.  The site is designed by Prospects Services as a resource for educationalists, employers, young people and adults, and is the result of months of analysis, design, and programming.  It will complement and enhance the expert delivery of the company’s nationwide services and will showcase Prospects’ expertise and experience as the leading provider of careers, education, advice, and guidance and training services in the UK.

The website has been re-launched with a vibrant new look, new content, significant layout updates and features new characteristics, such as  the ability for customers to subscribe to the company’s quarterly industry publication ‘Prospects in Partnership’, along with first-hand views of best practice case studies.

New easy-to-access navigation is one of the main features, and it offers additional elements such as events booking and the latest education and career news from across the country. The site also features a keyword cloud, so that visitors can search on keywords, with phrases or keywords displayed in the box in different sizes dependant on popular searches. Using the keyword cloud, visitors to the website can view the cloud when looking for specific topics or words for example: a customer wishing to find out about Prospects ‘Leading Parent Partnership Award’ would click on the keyword ‘parental engagement’ - making their experience both more effective and saving valuable time in obtaining relevant information from Prospects’ vast service offering - from school governors to adult services information.

Mary Palmer, Prospects, Director of Marketing and Communications, was leading the redevelopment of the website, said:
“We are delighted and believe that our new website offers not only a shop front for our range of services but also an invaluable insight into Prospects products and services. Whether you are interested in finding a job, attending one of our leading career or educational events, training, consultancy or educational resources, information is easy to find at the click of a button.   I am confident through future customer feedback that we have achieved many of our initial goals, we look forward to reaching new challenges throughout 2010 and beyond”.

In addition to the site’s many new technical features, the graphic design and interface present a dramatic improvement.  We have streamlined the site’s navigation, making it more intuitive and user-friendly.  We also created a visual navigation system for the many visitors who simply want to browse around the site without a specific destination. We think this dual presentation will allow our "power users" the ease and efficiency of rapidly getting to their resources, while simultaneously inviting new users to learn more about our services as they can casually browse through articles, media, and archives.  

In the coming months, we will be introducing new site features including special offers and content, downloadable resources for local authorities, employers, government departments, schools and colleges and additional multimedia.
