An effective school website design must invite and inspire prospective students, while also complying with compliance regulations for educational institutions and accredited schools.

Knowing this, National Tractor Trailer School (NTTS) partnered with ACS Web Design and SEO for a website redesign.

NTTS wanted to make their school website design cleaner and more impactful, with a more inviting look and feel. The new school website design for NTTS also aimed to humanize the school more by including more images of truck drivers and NTTS instructors. The redesigned NTTS website also required a more intuitive navigation, making it easier for prospective students to find information that matters most to them.

The new NTTS school website design also aimed to grow enrollment by improving how content is presented on the website, as well as increasing the frequency and visibility of Calls-To-Action (CTAs).

NTTS school website design project objectives also included the creation of a dedicated section of the website for prospective, new students. This part of the website needed to address things that were most important to a prospective student's decision, such as options for housing, financial aid and career prospects after graduation.

The NTTS website also needed to improve the overall presentation of individual course information, aiming to make course information both more informative for prospective students, while excluding confusing or overly specific details.

ACS Web Design and SEO delivered a custom school website design for NTTS that achieved our client's project objectives.

School Website Design That Complies With Educational Institution Regulations

As an accredited truck driving school and an educational institution that receives federal financial aid, the new NTTS website content needed to be compliant. Accredited truck driving schools and schools that receive financial aid must adhere to certain messaging requirements. For example, the NTTS school website design could not suggest that graduates were guaranteed a career-related job upon graduating.

The ACS team of professional copywriters used their years of content writing experience for educational institutions and close collaboration with NTTS staff to ensure all website content was compliant with industry regulations.

Beyond website copy that adheres to industry regulations, the NTTS school website design needed to include required compliance disclaimers and information for students. Educational institution regulations also dictated that these disclaimers and student information needed to be sufficiently prominent and easy to find on the website. ACS Web Design and SEO successfully integrated this required compliance information in a way that was accessible, yet presented in a way that was not intimidating.

A School Website Design That Clearly Explains Financial Aid Options

The NTTS school website design makes financial aid options easy to learn about. This includes prominent placement of financial aid options, and an intuitive navigation.

Financial aid options are presented in a way that reassures prospective students that an NTTS education is affordable. In addition to reassuring and informing prospective students, ACS presented this financial aid information in a regulation compliant manner.

School Website Design With Detailed Information on Courses

However, the previous website presented this course information in a way that made it difficult for prospective students to determine which course was the best fit for their personal career goals.

The school website redesign for NTTS features more informative content on offered courses. The new courses section of the NTTS school website design clearly differentiates offered courses, while removing overwhelming or confusing details.

A School Website Design That Makes It Easy for Prospective Students to Schedule a Campus Visit

Whether it's a trade school or university campus, it can be hard for prospective students to see themselves at a school until they see the campus in person. The school website design that ACS provided for NTTS makes it easy for prospective students to schedule a campus tour.

The NTTS school website design features an integrated third party form that allows NTTS to capture contact information from students who would like to visit the NTTS campus. This empowers NTTS to initiate an important first step in turning prospective students in to enrolling students who have made a decision about their education.

The NTTS school website design features prominent, strategically placed prompts for prospective students to schedule their campus tour. These prompts naturally lead prospective students to the decision to schedule a campus tour. ACS accomplished this by presenting information in a way that generates sufficient interest for prospective students to want to learn more by visiting an NTTS campus.

Secure Online Student Application

This lengthy application resulted in lost opportunities, as many prospective students were intimidated by the time and attention to detail required to complete the online student application.

The NTTS school website redesign features a securely integrated third party online student application. This secure, integrated online student application simplifies the online application process for NTTS. As a result, the secure, online student application in the current NTTS website eliminates the intimidating length of the previous version. This helps the NTTS school website design in terms of increased effectiveness for generating new student applications. This makes the NTTS online student application an important part of growing enrollment.

School Website Design with Target Audience Landing Pages

With women being underrepresented in the trucking industry, and military veterans having transferable skills for truck driving careers, both women and military veterans are audiences of interest for National Tractor Trailer School (NTTS). Knowing this, ACS Web Design and SEO improved upon the existing landing pages for these two defined target audiences.

Both audience landing pages reflect their respective target audiences; the women in trucking audience landing pages shows female NTTS graduates, and the veterans audience landing page shows NTTS graduates who are military veterans.

The content on both of these target audience landing pages also speaks to the unique concerns of each audience.

In addition to demographic target audience landing pages, the NTTS school website design also includes a dedicated landing page for new, prospective students. This new students page addresses common concerns for prospective students, naturally leading prospective students to contact NTTS admissions representatives.

Does your school or organization have defined audiences of interest, or types of customers or students that you would like to have more of? ACS Web Design and SEO can effectively reach your target audiences.

School Website Design with FAQ Section

Choosing a trade school or university is among the biggest decisions of a person's life. Because of this, it's common for prospective students to have a lot of questions about a school. Understanding this, ACS Web Design and SEO created a user-friendly Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section of the NTTS website.

Working closely with NTTS admissions representatives and front desk staff, ACS Web Design and SEO developed Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) content based on the most common questions that NTTS receives from prospective students. ACS then created FAQ content that addresses prospective student concerns. These FAQ answers also naturally lead prospective students to contact admissions representatives or apply online. This makes the FAQ content that ACS developed for NTTS both helpful for prospective students, and conducive to growth in terms of student applications.

A School Website Design Made with a Responsive Website Design

Over 60% of all web traffic today comes from mobile devices, such as phones or tablets. With most online activity now coming from these mobile devices, if your website isn't made to look and function properly on phones or tablets, you're at a competitive disadvantage.

If someone arrives at your website on their phone, and your website isn't made to look and function just as well on a phone as it does a desktop or laptop, they will likely have a frustrating experience. When a website isn't made with a responsive website design and the site is accessed on a mobile device, the website may be difficult to interact with. When this happens, people may click on parts of a website they didn't intend to, or text may be illegible.

In brief, if your website isn't made with a responsive website design, more people than not are likely to have a difficult time just interacting with and reading your website. This can quickly turn otherwise interested potentials in to lost opportunities, as people are quick to move on to a competitor's website that is easier to use on a phone or tablet.

The NTTS school website design is made with a responsive website design. This means that the website looks and works equally well on all devices, including phones and tablets as well as desktops and laptops.

All ACS website design projects are made with a responsive website design. To reduce missed opportunities with a responsive website design...
