University Website
The Office of Marketing and Communications Web Services Team is responsible for developing and overseeing the university’s website. After the Web Team finalizes and prepares a sub-unit site for launch, ownership of the site shifts to an individual in the sub-unit who serves as the website administrator. The website administrator is responsible for regularly updating the site in order to ensure the site’s accuracy, currency, relevance, and appropriate branding.
Training
The Web Team provides training sessions to enable website administrators to manage their sub-unit sites. Website administrators can request a one- to two-hour training session by submitting a M&C project request form as described in the Ongoing Support section, below.
Ongoing Support
For ongoing support please submit a Asana project request form. Asana is the project management system that Marketing and Communications is uses for website edits.
New Web Projects
To request a new web project, please submit a Asana project request form. The Web Team will schedule an initial meeting to discuss the project, its requirements, and how it aligns with the strategic plan for the university. At the meeting a document outlining the Marketing and Communications website development process will be shared, as will a list of client responsibilities. New projects are prioritized based on their relevance to the university’s strategic plan, visibility, and recruitment goals, and based on project scope.
Website Content
Copy, photos, videos, and other content on sub-unit websites should reflect the standards outlined elsewhere in the brand guide and in the Illinois Tech Editorial Style Guide.
