Schedule your website launch

Pick a launch timeframe and work with the CMS team to schedule the specific launch date. We schedule launches 2-4 weeks out and typically launch websites every other Wednesday morning.
3

Start building

Once you have access to your new website, you can start building your content and navigation structure.
4

Initial consult

You will be contacted by the Web Customer Success & Training Professional to set up an initial consult to kick off your website project.
5

Check your website's navigation

Click through your website to be sure the navigation is consistent. Primary navigation should display the same throughout your website and whether you are using side navigation, breadcrumbs or both, there should be consistency on the child pages. Sign up for an Open Lab if you need help or advice!
6

Get help

You may have questions once you start working in Sitefinity. The CMS team holds weekly Open Labs on Monday mornings to provide one-on-one help with visual/user interface design, web accessibility, technical questions and more! Our @Web resource site is also a great reference guide for widgets in Sitefinity.
7

Identify your goals and audiences

After the initial consult, we will ask you to complete some questions to identify your website goals and audiences.
8

Make sure each page has an H1

H1 Headers are important both for accessibility and search engine optimization (SEO). Each page throughout your website should have one H1 Heading that is a short, descriptive title of the page. These can be added in Hero Images or in a Content Block on the page. Learn more about accessible headers.
9

Check that all headers are in ranking order

Headers on each page should be in ranking order, starting with H1 and then moving to H2, H3 and so on depending on your content. They should not skip from H1 to H5. If you find yourself using a header for styling, instead use paragraph text and change the size from the inherited size to the desired font size in the Content Block. Learn more about accessible headers.
11

Add alternative text to all images

As you add images to your website, you must add alternative text for each image. Alternative text should be a description of what is seen in the photo (ex. Nursing Student on Anschutz Campus). If you need to go back and add alternative text to an image, select the option on the image to "Edit properties". Learn about accessible images and alt text.
12

Test your links and check that they are descriptive

All links should be working on the website and the text should be descriptive of where the link will take the user. Please refrain from using “Click here” and “Read more” links as these do not have enough context for the user. Learn more about accessible links.
13

Events & Activities

Stay engaged and active through various events and activities.

Check out the Campus Happenings for fun virtual events that keep you connected to the CU Denver experience.

14

Complete page descriptions and keywords for each page

Add page descriptions and keywords in Title & Properties for each page. Page descriptions help Google know what your page is about. They help your site's SEO and support users in finding the content on your website that is relevant to their search. Learn about setting up pages.
15

Student Organizations

Join a student organization or virtual events and activities.

Participate in a student organization and connect with other students while building leadership skills.

16

Publish all pages on your website

Publish all pages on your website that you want to go live with your website launch. If there are any pages that aren't ready for launch, please unpublish them.
17

Financial Aid & Scholarships

Submit requested documents for financial aid and scholarships.

As a CU Denver student, you have exclusive access to ScholarLynx+. The application allows you to apply for scholarships offered by CU Denver and private donors.
Submit
18

Get stakeholder approval on content

Be sure stakeholders have seen and approved the content on your new website. Anyone that needs access to edit the website will need to complete Sitefinity Training. If stakeholders just need to view the website before launch, submit a request to ucd-oit-helpdesk@cuanschutz.edu so that we can grant them Site Shield access before the website is live.
