Web Development (CMS) Roundtable University of California, Berkeley June 14, 2012
Avoid Reinventing the Wheel • Campus departments have been on their own to implement their web solutions: • Inconsistency • Inefficient processes • Inability to keep content or supporting technology current
Project Objectives Promote more cohesive brand management and user experience Improve resource efficiency Enable timely content management and maintenance Coordinate and optimize infrastructure support resources
Consistency with Flexibility VCAF has 41 department websites with varied scope and content: 18 sites with fewer than 50 pages 17 sites with 50 – 499 pages 7 sites with 500 – 10,000 pages
Base Implementation Design Objectives • Visitors should recognize that they are on a Berkeley website • Visitors should know which department website they are on • Leverage existing brand/identity assets and resources • Recognize that different sites may have different navigation and content requirements • Design should be adaptable to CMS theme considerations • Consider feedback gained from Perception Study Technical Objectives • Create consistent theme that will allow department name, parent organization, and optional logo • Allow site administrators to choose from provided headers • Allow site administrators to change layout • Add content editors to easily update content • Allow CalNet Logins (security) • Websites use a consistent hosting solution
Demonstration Responsive theme and framework Panels to change layouts and content
