Campus Web Office

Campus Web CMS

The campus offers a Web content management tool to manage your UC San Diego Web site. The advantages of using the campus CMS are:

  • It allows people with little or no experience to build and maintain professional Web sites, using the campus templates.
  • It creates a more coherent Web presence across the UC San Diego Web space.
  • We'll help you migrate your website and teach you how to use the system.
  • It's free for campus units.

What product is the campus using?

Based on extensive analysis, we've chosen to use Hannon Hill Cascade Server.

What is the cost for clients?

The Campus Web CMS is free for UCSD units and departments.  The system and services are funded by a partnership between Academic Computer & Telecommunications (ACT) and the Libraries.

How does it work?

Based on the interest across campus, we can work with units from the department level upward to utilize the CMS.  Once, we've established the CMS is right for you, we'll

  • set up a shell site,
  • assist in developing a high level Web site taxonomy,
  • and train you on using the system. 

From there, you'll populate the site content and we'll be there to answer questions. Once the site is deployed, you'll have full access to edit the content.

Next steps

  1. Review the Web CMS Service Level Agreement (SLA).
  2. Decide if you are comfortable with the design templates.
  3. Schedule a 30 minute demo and consultation to determine if the campus CMS is right for you.
