8.2 Activity Group Minisites
The USSU website receives around 60,000 hits a month and the Activities page is one of the most popular pages, so huge numbers of potential members could be looking at your minisite.
Make sure it has all the information you’d like them to see – what your group does, when you meet and how interested students can get in touch.
