Today’s Tip:
Keep it simple and focus on the user. Users visit a page with a purpose, not just to browse around and waste time, that’s what Facebook is for. Every word on your page should be putting the impression that you care about your users goals and you can help. Tasmanian Academy does just that by sticking to the point and getting out of the way. Clear paths make for the best conversions.

Wow, I just happened to stumble on this page randomly from Google. I’m a student at one of the school’s campuses.
One thing I’d like to add is that for a lot of prospective students, the website probably wouldn’t be their first source of information as the Academy distributes handbooks to all the feeder high schools and the high school career advisors generally have most information as well.
Another issue is that they are yet to update the site to represent the fact that Rosny and Elizabeth aren’t actually Academy campuses (they were supposed to enter the system in 2010 but voted out of it – big political thing)
