BEFORE WE BEGIN
Your questions,
answered.
Can we preserve existing search visibility during a redesign?
We plan URL mapping, content migration and redirects where required. This supports continuity, but search performance cannot be guaranteed.
Can departments update their own pages?
An appropriate CMS role and approval model can be included. The editing permissions and publishing responsibilities are agreed with the institution.
What is included in a academic website development engagement?
The agreed scope identifies which of the capabilities above are included, the required access or inputs, deliverables and acceptance checks. We confirm any third-party costs and follow-on work before the engagement begins.
What do you need to prepare a proposal?
Start with your current situation and desired outcome. For this service, helpful inputs include institutional workflows and policy inputs, existing platform and data information and academic and administrative reviewers. We then clarify scope, dependencies and timing.
