In-efficient use of Homepage space. – A large space is un-utilized. – All relevant links are in place, but their target users are unable to understand the usability. Overall theme is maintained on almost all pages, but still some links follow an altogether different theme. Content in websites is not complete in all senses. Complete information desired from the perspective shall be provided on the site.

Some of the target sites for Rural Marathi population are available in dual language modes. – All pages shall have multi-lingual navigation. If a student visits, he is unable to find different possible programs available at MKCL centers. Reason being, the micro-sites of programs are not well defined.

No links for potential customers to attract business. – Merely displaying available products is never sufficient. We must also provide ‘ask quote’ and contact info under each such program. – Case studies for all successful programs shall be made available so as to attract more and more customers. No such feature displaying success stories is there on website.

Download section should provide user specific downloads. Education or awareness focused micro-sites for student/parents are missing. – Student is never able to find suitable information at one click. Some of the content at certain pages quote different figures at different pages. – At some pages, we quote to have a network, while at others we quote of network strength.

Basic Homepage should be divided in 4-5 major sections targeted for different stakeholders, say for groups 1 to 4 containing a brief description under each head so as to target that specific stakeholder. A common menu with relevant corporate links should also be there. Search/Drop-Down listing/Extension List for all links possible will be an added feature.
