<strong>Template</strong> <strong>Website</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> & <strong>Consulting</strong> <strong>Process</strong><br />
<strong>Process</strong> & Hand<strong>of</strong>fs<br />
Even for a small website, the creation and launch process requires the contributions <strong>of</strong> a number <strong>of</strong> people<br />
in different areas at different times. Any breakdown <strong>of</strong> communication during the process slows the<br />
whole procession <strong>of</strong> efforts required to launch the site. This document and the supporting documents<br />
are intended to keep everyone on the same page throughout the process and give all contributors the<br />
necessary lead time.<br />
Where possible this document will indicate who’s responsible for each stage and who takes up the following<br />
stage. The “stage handler” will indicate on Yammer when the stage is finished so everyone will know.<br />
There are a number <strong>of</strong> additional supporting documents that will be<br />
referenced here as they enter into the process. Their initial reference in this<br />
guide will be marked with a document icon on the right side <strong>of</strong> the page.<br />
Kick Off<br />
Once you notify Loren Kielly (loren.kielly@du.edu) that you want a new<br />
site, then things get under way. To facilitate conversation and keep<br />
everyone up to date, we use Yammer. Loren or someone in <strong>University</strong><br />
Communications (UComm) will create a Yammer group for the project and<br />
invite you to join.<br />
In addition to sharing conversations, Yammer is also used to post and share<br />
files throughout the process. As things progress, the Yammer group will<br />
contain site maps, content documents, images, style guides and checklists.<br />
The first document you’ll need is the Site Checklist. This checklist<br />
will inform all the following steps and get everyone on the same page<br />
regarding your website’s requirements. Please answer all the questions<br />
and feel free to ask about anything you’re unsure about. Once you’ve<br />
completed this step, post the Site Checklist to the Yammer group.<br />
You’re ready to move on to the Information Architecture and Content<br />
phase.<br />
