Web Publishing

Overview

Overview

With the TerminalFour content management system (CMS) you can create and maintain a dynamic and engaging UCD website using our latest templates and components. Our WebSmart site provides a Design Library and other resources to support UCD web editors, plus with Silktide we can ensure our sites meet the highest standards of accessibility for our website users.

Getting Started

To edit an existing UCD website for your school, college or unit you first need to complete TerminalFour training. We then provide you with the guidance and resources you need. If you need a new website, either on the UCD Internet or intranet, you can request this from us too.

Find out more about our web publishing services in our Knowledge Base articles on the UCD IT Support Hub:

UCD Design Library Guide

The UCD Design Library is a set of Terminalfour template components designed to deliver a modern & fresh look for UCD websites. The content is tailored to UCD branding guidelines and optimised for accessibility and SEO.

Measuring accessibility: Silktide

Not only is web accessibility a worthwhile investment to improve visitor experience, but it is also a mandate by the European Union. UCD uses the Silktide platform to determine if our websites comply with the (opens in a new window)WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Silktide is available to all UCD website managers to review and optimise their accessibility scores.
