Web Content Management Guidelines
Executive Summary:
- Website content on lbcc.edu is owned and maintained by individual departments and areas across the college.
- Each department or area is responsible for identifying page ownership by submitting the Content Ownership Form, designating a web content team approved by the appropriate Dean or Vice President, and maintaining content using the Content Management System (CMS).
- Content owners and their web teams are accountable for ensuring their pages are accurate, current, relevant, and actively maintained.
- The Web Coordinator provides website main structure, CMS tools, training, and technical support; content quality and upkeep remain the responsibility of each department or area.
- Clear content ownership and participation in CMS training are essential as website content is reviewed and prepared for migration to a new website; only content with active ownership will move forward.
