Sub-project 3: A new web platform for the University website
- Sub-project 1: Student gateway
- Sub-project 2: Staff gateway
- Sub-project 3: External website
Technology to be replaced
The sub-project involves the technology behind the University’s external website being replaced. The new system is called Sitevision and has already been implemented for the new student gateway (2021). It will also be implemented for the staff gateway as part of sub-project 2, which will provide a range of coordination benefits for editors, system administration and economically.
A more modern and cohesive website
The replacement of the web platform will mean Uppsala University has a more modern, uniform and cohesive website that supports our target groups’ needs more effectively. To achieve this, and to provide support for the web editors who will implement the migration, clear page templates will be produced. The aim is to furnish the departments and other units with ‘complete’ webpages as far as possible, providing links to data sources such as the course catalogue, staff directory and DiVA database. It should then be simple to add any further information required using clear page templates.

The project will run until late 2023/early 2024. This timetable also includes some aspects outside the framework of the project.
