When your website is your shop window it’s vital to make sure it looks good to tempt the customers through the front door.
While Northampton College may not be in the retail sector, attracting prospective students and building long-lasting relationships with employers is a key part of our strategy – and a modern, easy-to-use website is an essential part of that.

The eyes of the world are on Glasgow this week as global leaders gather for COP26 – the UN Climate Change Conference.
The summit will bring key parties together to accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. It’s likely we will be placed on red alert to go green.
There’s no doubt there is a place for life online. Whether it’s a spot of ‘buy it now’ retail therapy or catching up with friends on social – our digital footprint is bigger than ever, but nothing quite beats the feeling of doing it IRL.
We’ve all been there.
You sign up for something because you think it’s the right thing to do, yet deep down you’re not quite sure it’s right for you. You plough on, not wanting to lose face, but the further you go the more you realise you should have stuck to your guns. It simply wasn’t for you. Sound familiar?
