Contact the web designer in Communications to discuss the site plan and arrange for the appropriate accounts and set a training date for the CNC Content Management System.
Organize content that will be used on the site. If content needs to be rewritten for the web, or if you wish to have promotional videos on your site, please contact Communications for assistance with this.
Build your site in the Content Management System
Continue to monitor the site on a regular basis by checking for broken links (reports are provided), reviewing “Rate this Page” information (reports are provided), and removing outdated material. A website is a living document; try to keep it current and ever-changing.
Three tips for effective websites
Before beginning to design the site, discuss the goals of the site and identify your audience. Who uses the site: Is it students, faculty, the public, or a combination?
Organize the site based on audience needs, rather than the organization of the office or department.
Assemble departmental information and publications and determine content that can be added, excluded, or rewritten to be appropriate for the web. Whenever possible, link to information rather than reproducing it.
