We feel that black/silver/grey and dark yellow are good colors. 2)The site should convey, a clean, crisp, modern and "classy" look. The “LESS IS MORE” concept needs to be ultra-clear to anyone visiting the site. Every possible thing that a user may click on should be very specific and there should be a CLEAR REASON it's on the site. I want users to come to the site and WANT to pay for our services and learn from our company. We want the site and text to draw people in as opposed to blast them with information. 3)Strong USER FRIENDLY Admin Console 4)IMMEDIATE acknowledgement /CONFIRMATION to the applicant that their CV / Resume has been submitted. This can be online after they apply or via email. 5)Sign-Up Opt-In Email to be notified of new job postings. 6)OPT-OPT feature when new job posting email is sent. 7)List of open positions with our clients - this would be a list of jobs which are available with our clients.
