My Individual Project
Story/ Content
LondonStudentLink - is an online student directory created for students living and studying in London.
Its aim is to guide Students on saving money and making the most of London life.
The Website will offer information to London student on the best places to go and also the latest offers and discounts that are available. the site will have : Homepage which is the directory itself, a News page for any articles related to students, London, and Money, a Deals & Discounts page, to access the discounts and offers available from businesses for students, and lastly the contact page for anyone one who wishes to contact the team.
Why is this a good idea to do now?
- Online Journalism if growing and becoming even more accessible with a high number of students using smartphone's and tablets.
- The recession means money is tight, being clever with your money have never been more important, with a site that directs students to student friendly businesses and great deals and offers, it will allow them to enjoy London Student life without breaking the bank.
- This could also be beneficial to International students staying in London, research shows an increase of students choosing to study in London, with LondonStudetLink they could find what they are looking for in just a few clicks.
Online approach
I decided to create my idea on a website format as I wanted LondonStudentLink directory to be a brand and websites are the best approach for online media brands and businesses. I could have chosen to do the directory on a blog, however I feel blogs appear less professional and more personal. Also in my opinion websites are more user friendly, I also feel that I have more options with website formats, in terms of features and layouts.
Professional examples of similar operations
www.studentnoticeboard.com
www.ukstudentdirectory.com
These sites deal with students in the whole of UK rather than just focusing on London, and also there does not seem to be an extensive directory, the sites include many other features like forums, games, and competitions.
