On Wednesday, August 12, the College of Charleston launched its new website. Along with the positive feedback received by phone, e-mail, and twitter, we have also received several questions. These are some of the most common questions and answers.
Q: Where is the link for CougarTrail?
A: The link for CougarTrail has been moved under the audience navigation links in the upper left hand corner of the new website. As the new MyCharleston portal becomes available to more audiences, we will eventually replace the audience navigation links with one link to MyCharleston. The new MyCharleston portal will contain everything that was in CougarTrail and much more in one centralized location.
Q: Where is the link to WebMail?
A: Just like the link for CougarTrail, the WebMail link has been moved under the audience navigation links in the upper left hand corner.
Q: When will my department adopt the new look?
A: Web Strategies will announce when departments can begin migrating into the new content management system. Look for something in about 2 weeks. In the meantime we will be updating the content management system to a new version and addressing any errors with the new site.
Q: Should I begin changing my current website to match the new template?
A: No. Please continue to maintain current information on your site, but please do not attempt to “frankenstein” the template onto your existing site. Web Strategies will work with each department to migrate their old site into the new content management system and new templates.
