Supporting You

Our goal is to develop and maintain the best possible websites for you, our visitors, and the institution as a whole. We do that with a focus on the following areas:

An Accessible Website

We adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA so that our websites can be used by everybody.

Ease for Editors

We work closely with web editors as needed to provide the training and tools necessary to feel successful. See more at Self-Service below.

Self-Service

We encourage editors to manage and maintain their own web work with documentation on everything from components to best practices, and we offer workshops as needed.

Clear Design

We work hard to make sure our websites should be easy to navigate, straightforward in purpose, and form a cohesive whole with other institutional sites.

Everywhere, Any Device

You can view our websites on a laptop, tablet, phone, watch, scoreboard, or any number of things in between. We optimize for performance.

Stability and Security

We strive to keep our websites available and have back-up plans for when that’s not possible. We keep them secure through regular maintenance and clear direction about their appropriate use.

User Privacy

The website does not collect unnecessary information. When using third party tracking and analytics services, we have a defined business objective and examine what is collected.

An Extensible System

Going through constant website migrations and redesigns is difficult for everyone involved. We’ve created a platform that we can extend year-after-year rather than reinvent every five or ten years.

Transparency

We want to be open about the work we do. Each quarter, we email and post a website update, and we encourage you to read it and share with your team.
