IRM supports the Content Management System (CMS) that is being used to brand and unify the entire FAU web site. The Content Management System is an essential tool in FAU's Branding Initiative.
University Communications & Marketing has asked that all web sites be developed through the CMS. Any sites that cannot use CMS must provide written justification to the Creative Services department.
All areas of FAU and anyone using the Florida Atlantic University name including departments, groups, clubs and student organizations that wish to have a public web site at FAU need to contact Creative Services for approval of the initial site.
The process for requesting a new site is as follows:
- Contact Creative Services to request a design template for a new site and to approve the URL (www.fau.edu/site_name) for the new site
- Creative Services approves design template and forwards to IRM
- IRM converts approved template and enters it into CMS
- IRM schedules CMS training with department or group requesting site
For help using CMS to develop your web site, refer to this User Guide.
For questions and inquiries regarding web standards, contact Creative Services at 561.297.1352. A comprehensive guide to Web style can be found at www.fau.edu/publications. Make sure to also view FAU's Visual Standards Manual which provides the University community and designers with the visual standards to be used for all printed, web and retail items.
