? A website is a collection of hyperlinked html documents (web pages) with related information, meant to creating awareness about something on the internet. In a university setting, there is a lot of awareness required between the administration, staff, students and parents. Below are the major reasons why a university should have a website:
• Making of a website quickens the publishing of information to the community such as abrupt announcements, circulars, results, . Once uploaded, it will be already accessible to the targeted readers Through a website, the university can get feedbacks from the community through online user comments and questions. If students are involved in the Website development process, this enhances skill building such as writing, editing, layout and design. A university website provides motivation and pride of ownership. This can be evidenced through use of customized email. Example xxx @jinjacol.sc.ug instead of [email_address] Information listed on a university website removes doubt. Information such as university fees, and everything presented at the site appears in a positive light, as compared to information from other sites about the university which may be false. If a university has a website, they can use the web mail service to send parents and other stakeholders items such as newsletters, remainders. A website increases ways of contact. Once you have a website you can list your website address on your business cards, report cards, and even the university signpost. • Internet today is being used 24 / 7 and is accessible from every house. People are becoming highly dependant on the internet. By having a web presence, the market of the university expands your significantly. A university website helps students and parents to make a wise academic choice after using the vast quantities of information about a given college or university.
• In conclusion, a well-designed website is just as important a public relations tool as university catalogs and brochures. If a university has web presence, it can be listed in web search engines and know worldwide. Today everything you need is achieved at the click of a button. They should be original and avoid violating copyright laws. The web pages should have valuable content for public consumption
