All Nicholls State University departments are encouraged to have a presence on the University’s website. Each department may request access to the server to produce a website that can provide information about their department.
The department director, head, or chair, will be listed as the primary responsible party for the website. Department or organization leaders can choose to select department employees or members that may have access to edit content (see Guidelines for Choosing a Department Web Content Manager).
Web Design and Website Templates
The Nicholls website is designed to reflect current branding and marketing initiatives. University departments should use these templates so visitors have a consistant interface to the web services offered by Nicholls State University.
Nicholls departmental websites that do not wish to follow the templates or these guidelines will need to have their sites reviewed by the Communications Committee. Any departmental website that does not use the Nicholls web template will also need to follow these basic guidelines:
- All departmental websites should adhere to University Policy and Procedures.
- Departmental websites should also follow Communications Committee guidelines.
- Departments should incorporate the Nicholls State University logo with a link to the Nicholls website. Usage and placement of the Nicholls logo should follow the branding guidelines.
