How Do I Update My Existing Web Site?

If you do not use OmniUpdate to maintain your site, please complete the online work order form. Faculty/staff can find this form in http://my.newpaltz.edu under the Faculty/Staff Services tab > Employee Resources > Work order form for Web projects (updates & new).

Please be as specific as possible when submitting change requests for existing Web sites. We will need to know the exact addresses of the pages that need changes (ex. www.newpaltz.edu/academics/descriptions.html). If you send us electronic files with new text to add to your site (Word compatible files only please), or if you are sending new photos to be used, please send them in a Photoshop-readable format (preferably JPG or TIF), and let us know the name of each file attachment, the exact address of the page it is to be used on, and the exact section of the page it is to be added to. Please do not embed photos within the Word document.

If your updates require you to send files on media such as CD/DVD or USB flash drive, please drop them off in the Office of Public Affairs and indicate the project name you submitted online. In addition, please note in the online submission description area that media is coming.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND CHANGES IN HTML FORMAT WITHOUT CONSULTING WITH THE WEB OFFICE FIRST.

Requests for updates must come directly from a faculty, professional faculty, or classified staff member to our office.

If you make updates more than once a month to your site, you may benefit from using our content management system, OmniUpdate. Contact the Director of Web Communication & Strategic Projects for more information.
