Requesting a new website

If your unit, school, department or conference needs a new website on the University's public-facing site, the Web Team can set up a blank folder for you to edit in the University's content management system (CMS). 

How to request a new web page(s)

You will need to provide: 

  • confirmation that you have discussed the web page(s) with your Web Coordinator
  • site name e.g. Institute for Medieval Research
  • details of CMS trained users who will be populating the site
  • purpose and target audience

After receiving your request, the Web Team will:

  • review your request and respond within two working days
  • set up the basic structure of your page(s)
  • give the users access to the location in the CMS
