Create a Web site.
All of the new Web sites go through Web Communications. You can contact Amy Filardo at x5576 or afilardo@loyola.edu to discuss your needs. Your requirements for the Web site will determine what platform it will be hosted on. Internal Constituents
If the main audience is internal constituents, your site will most likely be housed in side of the University's portal system, powered by ActiveCampus, which is developed on top of Sharepoint. External Constituents
If it is determined that your site is mainly meant for external audience, Web Communications will work with you to create the appropriate content and it will be hosted on Sitecore, the University's content management system. Internal and External Constituents
If it is determined that your site has portions that are for internal and external constituents, Web Communications will work with you on the appropriate content and then will determine which platform the content will be hosted on. The content will be updated in once place, but will be accessed by both the internal and external platforms. Personal Web site
If you are creating your own personal Web site and would like to use Loyola's personal page space that is offered, you would create all of your HTML pages and then put them inside of your WWW folder in your G Drive. Follow the instructions that are found on the OTS site on how to access your G drive and space for your site. http://www.loyola.edu/ots/webdev/
You can get some good HTML tutorials from HMTL Goodies.
