Change artwork/graphics on a page
Contact Elaine Keough, who will determine whether artwork request is part of template design or part of content.
If it is part of content:
The designated department maintainer will be able to add images to content sections of the web site. See design guidelines for specifications of file size.If it is part of template design:
Due to the volume of sites being migrated to the content management system, the Web Team will be unable to revise template designs until all of the existing sites have been imported.
Review new site design
Occasionally, departments design their own sites or pay contractors to design sites. While Web Services does not recommend this solution during the migration to the content management system, we understand that some department’s have urgent needs. The department must use the design guidelines outlined by the Web Services site. The site is then reviewed by Web Services prior to launch.
