Website Design Guidelines and Tips

Updates to Cedarville University Web Pages

Faculty and staff are encouraged to submit an online ticket request to initiate a dialog with the CU Web design team regarding any updates to existing Cedarville web pages or to initiate the creation of new web content.  

The CU web team launched a Web Content Management System (WCMS) in 2010 which allows targeted users to take care of day-to-day web content editing. 

Web Design Training and Resources

Adobe Dreamweaver is the web design package recommended by the web team. Dreamweaver CS6 is the current version available on the network, but technical resources for Dreamweaver CS5 may also be helpful.
