The Solution:
Professor offers university students a unique and easy-to-use website building tool based on the WebsPlanet Creator platform. This platform enables Professor’s users to build multi-lingual personal websites; upload pictures; create and manage forums; communicate with friends, and much more. Students using the WebsPlanet solution don't need any programming or graphics skills, or experience with web design. They can use the websites they create with the WebsPlanet solution for several purposes, including personal, study-related, and business.
Professor provides the basic website building package to the students for free, including advertising. Some students buy advertisement-free upgraded packages that include a large number of advanced features.
To date, more than 80,000 websites have been built by students using the WebsPlanet platform. Professor utilizes these websites as a customer relations management tool to develop brand loyalty and recognition; and for information dissemination, marketing, and advertising.
Testimonial:
"We recognized that today's student is exposed to so much information that we needed a more interactive and direct way to communicate with and provide useful and relevant information to our target market, the student community. Accordingly, we looked for the most advanced, easy-to-use website building tool so that with the push of a button we could open tens of thousands of sites, all specially designed and meeting Professor's specific technical requirements. The cooperation between Professor and WebsPlanet's technical team enabled us to get this ambitious project operating within days. As of today, over 80,000 students in Israel use this tool for personal, academic, and business purposes."
Eli Dahan, CEO Pisga Group.
