The design of UNI’s website is very neat and organized. The website is also pleasing to the eye and nice to look at, very colorful. The links are all on the side or on the top, so it is very easily navigated and used for educational purposes with a hint of fun. People can use the website for educational purposes, such as academics, admission, and financial aid. Also for supporting the school by sponsoring or donating to education funds, for safety and health, the library, registrar, athletics, outreach and partnerships, computer services, arts, events, and exhibits, and about the University of Northern Iowa. There is also a link for the parents of current students’ parents, where moms and dads can access their child’s bill, events and calendars of what is happening at the school, the parent E-newsletter, and how to stay connected to the University of Iowa.
The focus of the website is the center slideshow. The slideshow includes pictures of UNI’s students during homecoming and the panther at a football game. The pictures are all of some of the events that are going on at the school currently or have happened recently. The slideshow is at the direct center of the page and is very noticeable.
The content of the website includes information about the school and it’s history, academics, admissions, cultural events, and a lot more information on attending the University of Northern Iowa. There are also events, news, and schedules for sports.
I find the writing style of the University of Iowa’s website very relatable and informative. It is straight to the point and does not include a lot of non-sense that people do not need to read. The words are professional and easy to read.
The grammar and punctuation of the sentences that are included in the website is nearly flawless. I found very little mistakes with the website’s grammar.
The site puts out it’s message very clearly. The message is very proud, UNI has a lot of school pride and uses it’s school colors to create the website’s image. There are plenty of links for current students to access all the information the students need for their classes and other events that are taking place at the school currently. There are also a lot of links for prospective students to look at what the school is all about and what it offers for majors and minors. There are places for academics, where you can apply for admission and pay your acceptance fee, and also there are places to apply for financial aid and outreach programs. There are also a lot of main focus on events that anyone can attend at the school such as football, basketball, and many other sporting events.
The intended audience for UNI’s website is for the students. Either current or prospective. The students are not the only intended audience, however. The website can also be directed toward sponsors of the school, or prospective sponsors, sports fans, exercise conscious people, news interested people, or just people interested in the University of Northern Iowa.
