CLEMSON, S.C., Aug. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Almost 7
million students, comprising 32% of all those enrolled in a higher
ed institute, are enrolled in online schools. These numbers have
only continued to grow, undoubtedly placing more pressure on
schools to have exemplary on-screen campuses — made up of their
platform, their resources, and even their social media presence. In
this day and age, it takes a prospective student less than 30
seconds to size up a website; if a school doesn't have a good
presentation, then it can easily fall off a student's list for
good. OnlineCollegePlan.com understands this, and took to doing a
lot of research for these students.

OnlineCollegePlan.com has published a college ranking titled
"Top 50 Online Schools with the Best Websites"
(http://www.onlinecollegeplan.com/online-schools-best-websites/),
which walks the reader through 50 top schools that have mastered
the art of having a clean and functional website that is also
pleasing to eye. Navigation and functionality were the key
criteria, but the design and information presented within the
college websites were also considered in the rankings.
