You will own and manage the content on your Arizona Faculty Site.  We will train you to build your site.

At Campus Web Services, our goal is to support the website needs of the whole university. We currently host around 300 websites both large and small and our portfolio is growing rapidly. Our team specializes in the technical aspects of website maintenance, including security, functionality improvements, and testing/troubleshooting. 

To be able to do this at scale, we empower faculty members to build and maintain the content on their website(s).  We provide free, weekly trainings, email support and one on one consultation to aid you in becoming confident and comfortable building and editing your site content. 

Migrating your existing site (moving the content from one website to another) is a manual process. You and your team will need to rebuild your current website in Arizona Faculty Sites. Depending on the size of your site, it can take several hours to a few days of work to migrate a website.

You will be able to customize the layout of your site pages, the structure of your site, and some elements of your look and feel. Some elements of Arizona Faculty Sites will not be editable. These may include University branding elements, available site element colors, fonts. If your site is for a project that bridges between multiple universities, templates without University of Arizona branding elements may be available.

Yes, you will be able to add additional content editors to your site. They will need to have a University of Arizona NetID, but they are not required to be a faculty member.

• Web applications that require transactional capabilities.
• High-profile/high-impact sites that might require capabilities to handle large amounts of traffic.
• If a faculty member’s website requires restricted access requiring limited NetID login, Sharepoint sites are their best option.
• Complex sites with large amounts of data would be better served through one of the many other web offerings on campus. See https://web.arizona.edu/for more information.
• Students, as they have Google Sites available to them.
• Using website as a Learning Management System (LMS). D2L is the recommended solution.
