Overview
The main college website is maintained by MarCom staff. It uses Percussion as its content management system (CMS) and contains content that is reviewed and submitted by staff around the college. The college also has a news website and online knowledge base that use WordPress. The college websites are required to be 508 compliant. In order to keep the website content accessible and consistently branded, staff are asked to work with MarCom to find the best method to update content or give feedback when changes are needed. The methods depend vary in the amount of training required, and are listed below from simplest to the most involved:
Request content edits in a project request
If you need a small amount of content updated a page, complete a simple project request. Be sure to include the URL and the exact language that needs to be changed.
Provide content edits using PageProof
PageProof is a powerful tool that is simple to learn in just a few minutes. If the changes you need to make to your website are less frequent and more comprehensive – like if you and your team are doing an annual refresh on an older page – this is the perfect tool. Reviews are able to see each others comments and either approve them or ask for further changes. You can PageProof to suggest content edits on our live website, or on unpublished sections that are still under development.
Request access to edit the website using Percussion
For areas of the college that need to do constant updates, staff can be trained on Percussion. They will be able to submit changes which are reviewed by MarCom for accessibility and branding. Staff should obtain their supervisor's approval and complete the form at the link above. Percussion access is subject to approval by the MarCom director.
Request access to Siteimprove
Siteimprove is a software system that monitors our website and checks for broken links and misspellings. If you want to monitor a specific section of the website to improve the quality of your content, you can request access.
