Requests for new websites must be submitted by a supervisor-level individual (e.g., department chair, director, dean, etcetera). All requests must first be reviewed through the Web Communications Help Desk.
Before submitting a request, please review the checklist below.
Note: The primary use of www.union.edu is for official offices, departments, programs and high-value strategic communications.
Checklist
- Review web governance policies and expectations
- Familiarize yourself with basic digital accessibility concepts
- Designate a content maintainer*
- Work with the Registrar to update or add courses and requirements to the catalog.union.edu (if applicable)
- Identify your audience (prospective students, current students, faculty, etc.)
- Outline the new site's organizational structure
- Gather content for the site (consider what you want visitors to know and do with the information on your site)
- Include a URL list of staff/faculty profile pages
- Come up with some URL ideas for what follows union.edu/ (spaces are not possible)
- Please carefully review this page
- Submit a request to Web Communications via the Help Desk and include the relevant materials
*We highly recommend choosing an existing content maintainer and consolidating responsibilities among fewer individuals within the academic or administrative division. A smaller, dedicated team managing content consistently will be more efficient, effective and proficient than expanded groups of users that access the system sporadically.
