Sitebuilding Widgets

A widget is a tool used on pages within our sites to help present information; there are over 30 to choose from. The ideal widget to use in a given situation depends upon the type of information you want to present and your goals. The digital content management training course that Howard sites' content managers complete describes how to implement them. If you would like to become a content manager for your unit's site, you can send your request to the Web Innovation & Strategy team (formerly UXWS team) of the Office of University Communications. The following is a full list of the available widgets in the site. You can find more information about each one throughout this website.
