  11. Our Goals • More uniform navigation throughout the site. • Common header and footer throughout the site. • Some unification of the design of individual sites. • Structured content forms for easy updating and automatic styling.

  12. What is WebEdit? • WebEdit is a content management system (CMS), which is an enterprise, automated system, used to manage the content of a web site. • Allows non-technical content managers or authors to manage the creation, modification, and removal of content from a web site. • Separates the process of design development from the process of content development and then merges the content into the design to create the published web page. • WebEdit is your access to updating your department’s content on the web!

  13. Why A CMS? • Provides advantages to: • website manager • content contributors • website visitors

  14. Advantages to Website Managers/Content Contributors • Ability to update the site: • without any technical knowledge • in real time • from any computer with Internet • Ability to enforce common look and feel, standards, style guides • Easy to delete content, add content, verify content • Find and delete redundancy • Correct broken links • Set review and archive dates • Easily archive content • Delete out-of-date or inaccurate content • Create content once, use many places.

  15. Advantages to Your Website Visitors • More accurate content • More timely content • More consistency • Less duplication and redundancy

  16. Assets Templates Page Regions Blocks Publishing WebEdit Lingo

  17. WebEdit Lingo • Asset—Any entity within the CMS that can be used to generate content. • Templates—The basic format for a page’s layout. The template defines where each page region is located on the page.

  18. WebEdit Lingo • PageRegion—A portion of a page that contains content. • Blocks—Containers that hold content. Each page region is usually associated with a block of content.

  19. WebEdit Lingo • Publishing—The process of assembling content in the development environment (WebEdit) and transferring complete pages to the web server. The publishing process can operate via manual user action, or on a timed schedule.

  20. What is Structured Authoring? • Structured authoring— Some pages in WebEdit are created and maintained using a structured content form. This simplifies the maintenance of the page, and also increases the consistency for all pages of this type. • Example: CLA faculty bio pages
