Website Content & Edits
Need a web page updated?
The Office of Marketing and Communications can edit the content on the website.
- If you want text edits made to a particular web page, copy all the text on that web page and paste it into a Google doc.
- At the top of the Google doc, paste the URL of the web page that you want to be edited.
- Highlight in yellow any changes you want to be made (new text or deletion of text).
- And then, either share the link to the Google doc in an IT Workorder, which you can find on the Portal, or email it to help@cornellcollege.edu.
Want to make a new page on our website?
If you want new pages made (instead of updating existing pages), please email marketing@cornellcollege.edu to discuss the goals of your proposed page and any other essential details. We can determine if a new page is the right choice, and if so, develop a timeline for your project.
Need a complete overhaul of a page or a section of the website and you're not sure how to get started?
Contact marketing@cornellcollege.edu and we'll meet with you to discuss your needs and determine a timeline if you want assistance.
Uploading PDFs and image files to the website
Institutions of higher ed are required to make all digital content accessible. What does that mean for you?
- If you are uploading a PDF and linking to it, that PDF must be checked for accessibility before uploading it. Use Adobe's Accessibility Checker (a tool in the Adobe Suite) to make sure the document is accessible to screen reading devices.
- Consider storing documents outside of the CMS by making them Google Docs stored in Google Drive and linking to the Google Docs or a Google Drive Folder with all your viewable or downloadable files. They will automatically be accessible with no extra steps on your part! Remember you can set up sharing permissions in a Google Drive Folder or within a Doc. You can make them viewable only or editable.
- All image files must have an image description and no images should be uploaded that are larger than 500k (header images only) or 200k (within the body of the page).
