Big Changes at SchoolSeek
Well, the regular visitors amongst you may have noticed some big changes around the site recently. We’ve been laughing at the idea of sleep for the past few days and added several cool new features, as well as streamlining some old ones.
This post is probably indicative of the most substantial change to the site. We’ve gone all Web 2.0 and put a blog on the site. The aim of the blog is to become a major resource for education related information, obviously with a focus on Australian issues such as changes in education policy, interesting programs offered by various schools etc.
We’ve also been at work on some site design changes. Most of the work has been relatively subtle, aimed at making the site more accessible and more user friendly.
Upcoming Features
A sneak at some of the new things that we’ve been working on:
- Subscription levels to allow schools to edit their own information,
- Mapping and travel information,
- A massive addition to the database, raising the number of schools to well over 2,000!
- Changes to the “Compare School” feature to allow you to compare up to 5 schools,
- Improvements to the search functionality, to make it easier to “find the right school for your child!”,
We’re also going to add the ability to add comments, so we’ll be able to get your feedback to blog posts like this one. Once it’s ready to go, let us know how we’re doing.
