Getting Started by Starting at the Beginning
What is a web site?
A web site is a collection of informational documents
or pages made up of electronic files that contain selectable elements.
What does it do for me?
A web site allows you to make your information
available on the World Wide Web (Web) and the local intranet. The Web is the universe of
network-accessible information supported by a backbone known as the
Internet. The Internet is a structure made up of many interconnected
computers whose users can communicate with each other and share
information. The local intranet is the connection of computers on
campus.
How is a site put together?
A site is developed (or put together) using HTML.
HTML is HyperText Markup Language. Advanced development tools such as
FrontPage, Dreamweaver, ColdFusion, and others make it possible for a user
to create (develop) a site without knowing all about HTML. These tools are
based on HTML so understanding it can help the site developer tremendously.
How many people does it take to create a site?
A single person can create a site. This person will
fill multiple roles as they put together the site. Planner, Content
Expert,
Developer, Administrator, Test Expert, and others are just a few of the
roles needed to create a site.
What do I use to create a site?
At UCO, you are encouraged to use the Content Management Suite (CMS)
as your site creation tool. If you are currently using FrontPage as the
site creation tool, you may continue that until your site is scheduled for
inclusion in CMS.
Do I need training?
IT Web Services in cooperation with the Technology
Resource Center offers support and training for
CMS as the site creation tool. Contact Web Services directly in order
to schedule your site conversion and training sessions.
What do I need before creating a site?
Prior to actual creation (development) of your site,
you will need to have made contact with the Web Team.
Now you are ready to know more
about UCO's resources.
