Obtaining Approval for New Sites at IU Kokomo

If you are working on an official IU Kokomo Web site, you will need to obtain approval prior to launching your new site. This is usually completed as a four-step process (you can use this checklist for the complete process of setting up an official IU Kokomo Web site):

1. Contact the Web Manager and the Office of Communications and Marketing prior to beginning your project, so you can discuss the scope and planning for the project. We recommend that you have a clear idea of your site's content and information architecture before beginning this process. The Web Manager will provide information about Web development at IU Kokomo, and will help you set up an account for you on the university's Web server.

You must designate a web manager to maintain your site.  This manager's name needs to be provided to the campus Web manager BEFORE your account is set up.

2. Contact the Web Manager for the appropriate IU Kokomo template for your project.
3. Develop a few pages of your site using the templates and this online standards guide. Contact the Web Manager to review your work-in-progress.

4. Finalize your site; inform the Web Manager and the Office of Communications and Marketing that it is ready for launch. The Office of Communications and Marketing will review your site and suggest any necessary revisions.   If the site is ready for launch, the Web Manager will "make it live" or give you instructions for doing so.

If your site is already completed, notify the Web Manager and the Office of Communications and Marketing that your site is ready for review. Please be aware that developers of official IU Kokomo Web sites will be asked to bring their sites into compliance with the official IU Kokomo Web site template standards and guidelines. For this reason, we strongly recommend communicating with the Web Manager and the Office of Communications and Marketing before beginning, or making changes to, your project.
