Perfect Web Pitch to Prospective Students: Why Choose FHU?

With the submissions for the 2011 eduStyle Awards closing today, the past week has seen many shared their best higher ed websites at eduStyle.

That’s why I kept an eye on the eduStyle twitter account and quickly checked Why Choose FHU? after seeing this tweet from Stewart Foss:

And, gosh, was it worth my time.

This website is indeed the perfect pitch to prospective students, a pitch providing a compelling argument to convince the right students for this institution presented as a neat package of web, infographics, photos and video wizzardery (yeah, I really loved it, I bet you can tell ;-) on a single web page.

While the complete package looks really great, I really liked the infographics (a new pet peeve of mine) used to present some important numbers.

I also loved the “handmade” video (it was created at the end of 2009, and I can’t believe I’m just discovering it now). This is a beautiful work inspired by a technique widely used in the Common Craft videos.

So, you know I loved it, but what do YOU think about this site? Have you seen other interesting higher ed websites lately?
