About Lower Mainland schools

Cruising around the local post secondary favourites and thought I'd do a comparison. Warning! My bias may be obvious.

Capilano's website looks to me to be the easiest one to navigate for someone who is new to this college or any other. The "Who Are You" tab at the bottom is very user friendly.

Langara's appears to have the least user friendly page of the three. Maybe it's only me, I'm not fond of that much orange.

Douglas college underwent re-branding recently. I was a student at the time and saw a change in theme that washed through the campus. The theme is classy, classic, and very engaging. The new website was a bit different at first, but turned out to be easier to navigate because it reflects other current trends in technology. I especially like the gallery in the way that it specifies the course taken by the student and shows the student applying what they've learned. I also find that the color does not compete with the information.
