Role: Webmaster

Official website for Southern Connecticut State University.

I serve as webmaster for the Southern Connecticut State University website from 2005-2007, and again from 2013 to present. The university website has been through many iterations from a simple Adobe Dreamweaver website, to using a Gravity Switch’s content management system (CMS), to OU Campus (currently Modern Campus), to its current iteration in Drupal.

Typical Duties

  • Consult with university departments and offices regarding their web and marketing needs.
  • Build, update, and delete pages.
  • Review web requests and either perform updates or re-assign them.
  • Design and develop customized web forms.
  • Manage overall site organization.
  • Create accounts and train users.
  • Enforce content and quality standards.
  • Analyze the website’s performance. Track web traffic using analytics tools. Provide analytics reports to departments.
  • Meet with a team regularly to discuss CMS version updates, new features, and troubleshoot issues.
  • Manage content migrations over the previous website iterations.
  • Write documentation on how to perform various web tasks.

In addition to my typical duties, I also train student programmers, build internal applications for students, and assist faculty and staff in finding technology solutions for web and video.
