As a content manager for the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, you will collect, manage, and publish information to your website.
Collecting
Collecting content consists of receiving website update requests and creating or editing pages and assets. Content Managers who create and edit pages and assets need to be aware of best practices, guidelines, and policies for CAES and UGA Extension websites. We adhere to the CAES Web Publishing Policy.
Policies and guidelines for making websites accessible to persons with disabilities are set by the Federal Government, University System of Georgia (USG), University of Georgia (UGA), and the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES). A required Web Accessibility 101 self-paced course for web content managers will provide more information.
Managing
Although managing content can be summed up simply as updating and cleaning up outdated content, it is the most important part of keeping our websites fast and our servers running smoothly. The CAES Office of Information Technology (CAES OIT) offers guidelines for digital asset management (DAM) that can greatly increase the effectiveness of our websites. These guidelines are covered in Digital Asset Management.
Publishing
Publishing content is the last and most satisfying part of content management. After carefully creating or editing content, it’s ready for public consumption. You and your audience can see the hard work you have invested into making your website relevant and engaging.
