IMPORTANT NOTICE: Effective Nov. 23, 2009, the "old" NDSU Web server (known to some people as WebDev) will be retired. Please see the WEB SERVER RETIREMENT PAGE to determine if you have a site on this server and what to do about it.

For many faculty, departments, programs and business units, the TYPO3 content-management system will provide a robust option for presenting information on the Web. That system has the benefit of providing consistent navigation, a professional design and it also ensures accessibility for people with disabilities.

Because some individuals and departments require more technical options, the PubWeb system provides a more traditional Web hosting. Sites on PubWeb allow greater flexibility, but users of this system will need to ensure that their sites are accessible to people with disabilities and meet university graphic standards.

We'll help you decide. Start by selecting the individual or group who needs the site:

• Individuals:
  • Students at NDSU
  • Faculty or Staff

• Groups/Entities:
  
  • Department, Program or Business Unit
  • Student Organizations

What are the requirements for Web sites at NDSU?

• To ensure a professional image for the university, NDSU Web sites must follow the graphical standards established by University Relations. Additionally, NDSU sites must be accessible to individuals with disabilities. The CMS/TYPO3 system was created to make it easier to meet those requirements. Other options are available as well, depending on the specific need.

Can I use the NDSU logo on my Web site?

• Departments and business units may use the NDSU logo on Web sites. Electronic version of the logo, and information on proper use, are available from the Vice President for University Relations Web page.

Still have a question about Web service options?

• Please e-mail NDSU.HelpDesk@ndsu.edu or call 231-8685 (option 1). We'll your make sure the appropriate person receives and replies to your question.
