KoveliStudenti.com, our Georgian site
That would be the Georgia that lies just south of Russia, as apposed to the Georgia that lies just south of Tennessee. We’re building an EveryStudent.com site for this language, KoveliStudenti.com, and we’re finding the Georgian alphabet to be a bit of a challenge to display in a normal web browser. There aren’t many Georgian fonts out there, and even fewer that work on both a PC and a Macintosh. Georgia uses their own unique alphabet, and since they are a small country there is not as much developed for the Internet in this language. While this is a difficulty for us now, we anticipate this will give us greater visibility later as our site will be one of a smaller number of sites in this language.
After we figure out how to produce this site, advertising it will be the next challenge. Google, our main ad supplier, does not offer Georgian ads, so we’ll have to be creative.
