    For all MBA, master of business administration courses, I have created a specific website aimed at them: eMBA.co.uk, which aims to help students through the whole process. I'd be appreciative of comments and feedback and any suitable articles that people might like to contribute.

    Thanks

    I like it disruptive, nice clean & simple design, easy to read & get info quickly. :)

    Personally I wouldn't have used the 'blog' style of 'article posting' as it dates things and sometimes puts people off from taking a site as seriously as it deserves (in my exp anyway) as well as it can also look a bit 'spammy'?

    I can see you've prob got a script running here and I prefer to manually create templates/use templates with PHP, but that's a personal choice I think.

    Not keen on the centre-aligned Google Ads above some of the text, e.g here - looks out of place and not so well blended in?

    Overall though a long-term winner I reckon (and good demand for MBAs) - can you get any of the MBA providers in the UK to sponsor you or place ads perhaps? :)

    Good luck with it! :cool:

    Yeah the blog style isn't too bad, but you have some things on there that make it look less professional than a site about MBA and EMBA's should do. The RSS feeds on the right should be higher up if not central where you have all your topics sitting saying "No comments" and as the term is EMBA.co.uk... you should make your main focus thee executive MBA's (as would be the main real for people searching for "EMBA") and the nhave a side page for MBA's - as it stands you have it set the other way around. Maybe you could get on at the FT to syndicate rankings also as that plays a major part in deciding where people go to complete their MBA and EMBA's.

    I think you have used a ready made template for your website which is very good as it helps you to a good amount of bucks. You need to add some more content in your website for making it more user friendly if possible and good luck ahead.

    Thanks for the comments...

    I have taken what I can onboard with limited time and in particular fixed the date issue - so no more dates. Now I need or require more content and currently working on Rankings page.


    Also have photovoltaics.co.uk - which will prob go down the same road as nano-technology.co.uk, but more sales oriented, unless you have any ideas?

    Personally I like the look of it. Can't say I have a problem with the blog format, I think using any format that gets the message across and makes it easy for people to find what they are looking for is a win win situation. I can't tell you how many "educational" sites that I've been on, and they are poorly designed but yet they are from respectful institutions. So point being, just keep it nice and easy to find what people are looking for :D
