Product, Services & Activities
This company will primarily operate through its website. Through the website, prospective students from all over the world can search through various courses and directly find links to the application processes of any university that fits their program preferences. The most appropriate course is found by going through a list of options that begins with the country, then the fields of interest, and finally the university or specific course you want, with one leading to the selection of the other depending on what was chosen first. Everything will be managed in a user-friendly manner to ensure proper accessibility.
In 2 ways users can register. Either as a student or as a guardian. Students can find their perfect course right after registering and guardians will have to submit documents proving their experience in a specific field such that they can later help students by replying to questions answered by students.
student: opening account --> select continent --> select country --> select field of study --> intended course OR select university --> links to application process of chosen university and course
guardian: opening account--> selecting field --> uploading documents --> "Thank you, we will review your registration and give you access if everything is deemed okay"
Furthermore there will be a specific website "ask questions" site for students, in which they can select a field (and then afterwards a specific course in that field if they want), leaving their e-mail for a future reply.
Guardians will have exclusive access to a "frequently asked questions" website. Guardians can only see questions in the fields for which they have registered. There should be a table with questions and their headers, and a guardian can click on it to see the full message with a text-field that is a reply body, which will later be sent to the original student who asked the question's e-mail.
These steps should be helpful to you to implement the website. This will be the flow of information step by step. So that users can have the best user experince with our website.

Job market demand
We are not choosing our study field based on our abilities or our capabilities most of the time. We often don't have a good central point in which we can easily find the most suitable options based on our own interests
So, A student who is told to take Science never knows whether he would be good in Commerce or Arts or Humanities. In his long run, he may find that if he would just study those things he maybe in a better situation. So it's important to deliver some kind of solution to easily find any course in any country in any unviversity, to help future students make a decision on what they really desire rather than trying to find something that fits the bill.

How should the website feel and look?
It is important that the website is inviting to anyone from all around the world. It should be fairly simple to understand and not try to aim at a specific audience but rather be very inviting. Also, it should invoke a feeling of advance and interest. Meanwhile, everything should still remain informal and educational. Thus it is important to choose colors that mix a feeling of education content with exploration and progression. We recommend to avoid overly gloomy and dark colors and making the website look "too corporate", while also not making it look too playful with extremely bright and too many colors. There should be a single base color like a medium blue that is complemented in cases some important information needs to be highlighted. Furthermore, none of the pages should contain too much elements or text. The importance is easy of navigation and easily finding an university and course, thus unecessary big pages with a lot of distraction should be avoided. Pictures and images are mostly to be used only in the pages like contacts and about us to give a more inviting feel but avoid them in the nagivation process until the actual course is reached. Only then it is okay to use more images and decorative elements again, as the user already reached the end of the nagivation and won't be confused by distractions. It is also important that the website can function on any kind of device with any kind of resolution. Text should be big enough that impared people can still easily dael with it. As a font something simple and not too fancy should be chosen, like "open sans condensend". It is important that the font looks pretty and inviting, but still simplistic and does not take away too much attention from the user.
We recommend the following color palette:
- Jan Robert Meyer
- Nils Fiete Noerenberg
- Tristan Mark Nuck
