Web Content Management Guidelines

Executive Summary: Website Content Ownership and Management

• 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 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—available on the CMS Training & Resources page—are essential as website content is reviewed and prepared for migration to a new website; only content with active ownership will move forward.

Who Are These Guidelines For?

These guidelines are for anyone who creates, edits, or maintains content on the official Long Beach City College website.
