As the size and complexity of websites increase, well delivered and managed content is essential to ensuring that the process of updating, revising and redesigning does not become an obstacle to maintaining an up-to-date and relevant website.

To that end, the IT Division is implementing a content management system to assist the campus in meeting University objectives for websites. Objectives include:

• Communicate a Texas State identity and relationship.
• Ease the web maintenance effort, especially for non-technical web authors.
• Implement best practices and standards for web sites for look and feel, navigation, accuracy and consistency.
• Provide actionable metrics for development and decision making.

A number of colleges, academic departments and service departments have already launched their new websites in Gato. Visit the Gato website for information and training.
