Constant Gardening, Constant Editing

A website requires constant attention, much like a thriving garden, with thoughtful planting, pruning, weeding,  removal and updating of content.

This is how we charm and satisfy those who visit our website to learn about 17³Ô¹Ï College. We want prospective students and their parents to land on a welcoming page, one that points to the information they want and need — to come back again and again, to engage as students and alumni.

This training guide provides the tools and methods we use to achieve this goal.

What is Omni CMS?

OU Campus is a web content management system (WCMS) — licensed by the 17³Ô¹Ï-De Anza Community College District from OmniUpdate to help Marketing and all our departments and programs manage web pages on foothill.edu.

Content Editors

• Each 17³Ô¹Ï division dean has been asked to assign Content Editors to learn OU Campus to help maintain department and program websites.
• Content editors are trained and supported by the 17³Ô¹Ï Marketing Department Web Team.
