SOE Website Support
The Communications, Media, and Events group provides support for editors within the School of Education (SOE) charged with maintaining content on any section of the beta-soe.uncg.edu website. This includes managing the content management system, consulting on information architecture and user experiencing, and providing training and support materials. We also assist with custom sites to support new initiatives and marketing campaigns.
Having trouble with the website or need a web-based solution? Contact Carla Wilson, Instructional Technology Consultant and Digital Media Specialist.

+ Website Development
Website Development through the University
The University offers two options for site hosting to choose from, a Lamp Site or a Multisite, each with their own set of advantages and disadvantages. We have put together this website guidelines cheat sheet to help you make your decision about which direction you should take for your site. If you would like to schedule a meeting to discuss these options, feel free to contact Carla Wilson, Instructional Technology Consultant & Digital Media Specialist.
Website Development outside the University
Outside the constraints of the University there are many free options available to you to create websites. If you decide to go this route, then your site will receive minimal support by the University or by the School of Education (SOE). Sites can be linked to the SOE website but if you have technical issues with your site you will oversee troubleshooting, maintaining the site, and keeping your content up to date.
By going this route, it makes it more difficult for SOE to assist, however, we would still like to be a resource for your site. We urge you to share access to your site with our Digital Media Specialist, so that we can maintain of record of the sites that are linked to from the SOE website. With access, we would be able to assist with your site in emergency situations.
+ SOE Google Sites
Through the UNCG SOE Web account, we will create a Google Site for you that can be used for your initiatives, conferences, and programs, specific to the School of Education. SOE Web maintains the ownership of the site but share appropriate privileges to the site with all those who need it in order to create and maintain the site. By taking part in this service, you are afforded extra support when and if it is needed to ensure that your site maintains the SOE and UNC Greensboro branding. We also offer consultation services to help you identify the best way to structure your site and can also assist with including graphics and other content for your pages. If you would like to schedule a meeting to discuss this option, feel free to contact Carla Wilson, Instructional Technology Consultant & Digital Media Specialist.
