Creating Web Pages

The Communications Office's web team can provide faculty and staff assistance to make the creation of web pages for the University's public website an easy task. You can do this one of two ways:

  • If you think you will be making frequent updates to your unit's website, sign up for a training session to learn how to operate the website's Content Management System.
  • If you only plan to make occasional updates to your unit's website, you don't have to know code or the technology. Just do the following:
  1. New websites or major revisions to current web pages
Contact Dick Buhr, web editor, by email or at extension 2780. The web editor will work with you to write the content of your website, which can be submitted in normal Word documents. Once the content and structure of the website is agreed upon, the web editor will work with the web site manager to format and design the website.
     
  2. Updating webpages
If you have a simple update for a web page, you can email these updates directly to Web Support.

In submitting these changes, first copy the url of the page you plan to change into your email and then explain the changes below the url.

For example:

  /giving/default.asp
Please replace the sixth paragraph on this page with the following text:

The Kresge Challenge was truly a "down-to-the-wire" effort. But thanks to many generous trustees, alumni, friends, faculty and staff, corporations and foundations, and the hard work of dedicated campaign committee members, volunteers, and fundraising staff, we made it.
     
  3. Photographs
The Communications Office web team can also assist you in gathering good photographs for your website in one of three ways:

a. If you have good photographic prints, negatives or slides, the web team can scan them for you to create digital photos for your website.

b. The Communications Office also has a large collection of slides and digital images of the University grounds and many of its programs. Stop by and take a look to see if any of the images on file meet your needs.

c. The Communications Office also has a digital camera, and several members of the staff are good photographers. If you have a class, an event, or need photographs of individuals, email Dick Buhr  to see if it is possible for someone in the Communications Office to take some photographs. Scheduling won't always be possible, but the Communications Office will try to accommodate your photo needs.
