Website Migrations

All academic department websites are planned for migration by summer 2024.

Department website liaisons provide me with updated content for your department,
which I use as a reference to build your new site with a fresh look.

Read about the Next Generation Web Project (NGWP) in the UNCG Technology Initiatives website.

Here are some pooled resources for your information:

FROM THE UNIVERSITY LEVEL

The following resources can help you plan and set expectations. None are required.

UC Guide on auditing your website
- Website Content Audit Checklist*
- ROT Template* (Redundant, Outdated, Trivial): Spreadsheet with categories for auditing content
ITS Web Assets site: Contains list of available feature “blocks” and examples of migrated sites if you’d like to see what kinds of features are available in the new design theme
ITS Content Migration Guide: A detailed layout of what to expect and how to proceed
UNCG’s Photo Database, Merlin: This is where all professionally taken UNCG-owned photos are located. You must login with your UNCG credentials to get access to all of the photos.
Photography Request Form: Complete this request if you are in need of fresh marketing photography for your department and have a good photoshoot idea in mind.

*If you would like to use this, download a copy and work from that copy.

NGWP Training

As part of the migration process, ITS requires training for all site editors. This two-hour, in-person training session is held in the Bryan building on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. Registration is required. After attending a training session, editors are granted access to their respective websites.

Upcoming NGWP Training dates can be viewed here. Contact Craig Biles for more information.

2. Once you have completed NGWP training, you will have more familiarity with the new design blocks in our sites. However, there is a learning curve. I am happy to meet with you and walk through the editing process for your site. This should help you get comfortable with your site setup, and I can share some tips and tricks for using the new design blocks.
