First Steps in Requesting a New Website

The general process for developing a departmental website is as follows:

  1. Email ga_webpublishing with your request.
  2. A meeting takes place with a Digital Engagement staff member and the PageMaster to discuss the outline of the site. Brainstorming is also done about the purpose and layout of the site.
  3. A flowchart of the site is created and sent to the PageMaster for approval.
  4. Once the flowchart is reviewed and approved by the PageMaster, a site template is built by Digital Engagement.
  5. A training date is coordinated with the PageMaster (send training request to ga_webpublishing).

New PageMaster for Existing Site

When a new PageMaster is assigned to an existing site, the department or organization head (chair, director, etc.) simply needs to send an email to the ga_webpublishing with the new PageMaster's name and email address.
