Benefits Of Using The CMS
The new web platform provides many benefits to campus clients:
Content templates
Content ownership is back in the hands of subject matter experts—eliminating content bottlenecking and ensuring content is timely and accurate.
Layout consistency and accuracy of content
You can create new content quickly and easily, using templates that ensure design and brand consistency.
Automatic content backup
All content is hosted in an Acquia cloud so if there's a power outage or disaster, you're covered.
Responsive design
Sites will look great on computers, tablets and phones. The layout automatically adjusts to the device accessing your pages.
Single Sign On Access
Easy and secure access to edit your pages, using your campus ID and password.
Editing
All site editing can be done through your web browser with minimal training. This allows for timely and easy updates.
Google Analytics
See how people are accessing your site with direct access to Google Analytics.
Training and Technical Support
We provide training and ongoing technical support.
Authentication
The campus Content Management System is integrated with the campus Single Sign On system and uses your staff or faculty ID and password, creating a seamless way to access the site.
Roles
Roles include Administrator, Editor and Content Creator. The Web Team controls initial role setup and Organic Group Administrators are responsible for adding additional staff to their group.
What The CMS Is Not For
- Heavy custom HTML or CSS-styled pages
- Pages dedicated to one-off events (use the Events plug-in for these).
- Specialized scripts of web apps
