Hello & Welcome

This website has been designed specifically for 1920:1080 pixel display resolution monitors (FHD). Unfortunately this results in most reports presenting illegibly on phones and badly on tablets.

1366 resolution monitors are hard work on the eyes.

Low display resolution monitors are okay but for desktop work stations the price point benefit is really not worth it. That said, low resolution monitors work okay but require a 75-67% zoom out to present the tables reasonably well.

Site Visitors' Display Resolutions

  1. 1920x1080 FHD
  2. 1024×768 XGA Introduced in 1990!
  3. 1440x900 WXGA+ Prevalent in 19" displays
  4. 1680x1050 WSXGA+ Prevalent in 22" displays
  5. 1366x768 HD
  6. 1280x1024 SXGA Prevalent in 17" & some 19" displays
  7. 1536x864 (1920x1080 FHD local driver reporting error)
  8. 1920x1200 WUXGA Prevalent in expensive 15" & 17" laptops and in 23"-27" displays

The benefit of designing the layout for Full High Definition (FHD) is to present multiple column data tables. With 450 Colleges on the Y-axis, the X-axis is crucial in presenting full reviews of data, especially for variable length data such as team names and email addresses.

FHD desktop monitors are all priced reasonably and a new Asus, Acer, Lenovo or HP FHD laptop or Chromebook starts at £270.

Colleges' Contact Us Pages

https://www.collegewebsites.ac.uk/content-reviews/contact-pages

Contact Us is a staple of Main Menus and are basic enough that we hypothesised that it would be very hard to get them wrong. Wrong being subjective we set a simple five point test: Does the Contact Us Page contain 1) an E-Mail Address, 2) Telephone Number, 3) Contact Form, 4) Postal Address, and 5) Map? All five would need to show on the one page and navigated to by clicking only once on the Contact Us menu item.

The first meta result was an absolute majority opinion that the Menu Item needs to be titled Contact Us with a substantial minority preferring, on behalf of their site's visitors, the title Contact. Oddly 15 College websites do not have a Contact Us menu item; is your College's website one of them?. Additionally two websites have multiple campus specific Contact Us pages, and one website has two distinct menu items in the header that navigate to the same page.

All College Website Logos

https://www.collegewebsites.ac.uk/content-reviews/logos-website-social-media/website-logos

This is a redesign of the original technical report into a grid table similar to the five Social Media Logos reports. The original College Website Logos Report goes through the reasons why some logos look poor and the importance and value of using a basic file naming convention. Most of the logos are presented live with the exceptions being those that use pesky multilayer SVG files.
