Description of Services

Jumpstarts

Jumpstarts are content management and strategy projects designed to get your site up and running as fast as possible on our SiteBuilder platform. Jumpstart projects start at a minimum of 40 hours and we are happy to meet with you to further scope your specific project. To best make use of this offer it is recommended that you have the following prepared in advance of requesting the service:

• Comprehensive content inventory
• Proposed site-map
• Media assets (appropriately permitted photos, videos, logos, and graphics)

Website Services is happy to help scope a Jumpstart plan at your request, for such requests please use the website consultation form.

Custom Website

In some cases, Site Builder cannot provide the tools or flexibility to meet your web presence needs.  In these cases, Website Services can manage a custom website solution.  As part of these custom projects, we will thoroughly evaluate your requirements and specify solutions that satisfy your specific needs while maintaining compliance with UC standards for security and accessibility.  Our experience in delivering these projects allows our group to leverage our existing developer relationships to ensure the highest quality end product that Web Services can confidently host and support for years to come.
