Site
Component Library
How much do they cost?
What's free:
- The format, page templates, most preprogrammed site
components, and images from Institutional Relations Image
Library.
- The content. Your department writes the content (or
hires one of the Web resources listed in the Kit to help).
What costs more:
- Site Component Three: Faculty Expertise Database and Component
Five: Web Courses both need additional programming to link to
particular databases. Once your site is linked though, all of
your data will be updated automatically.
- OIT's JAWS unit charges $58/hour for this type of work. They
have Component templates, so the work will cost minimal time and
money.
- Inserting graphics, charts, photos, and other simple visuals
is relatively easy. You may need a scanner if you graphic aren't
already in digital form. Again, any of the units listed in Who
Can Help can help you.
- The more interactive and animated your site becomes, the more
it will cost to create. Who Can Help
has information about U departments that can help with animation,
video, and interactivity.
The preprogrammed Site
Components
The Site Components are preprogrammed scripts or links that you
copy and paste into your Web pages using a Web page editor.
The Site Components are:
- Navigation: The headers, footers,
sidebar buttons and links that tie your site together and link
you to the U's umbrella Web site. The Navigation Component comes
in two versions:
Header and Footer bars alone
for existing pages
An HTML table to use as a template
for new pages
- Student Career Opportunities:
Showcases career choices by using alumni examples. Also provides
links to U career services.
- Faculty Expertise Database:
Includes a link to the database and key word search. Will require
additional programming available from JAWS.
- Department Information: Includes
a template for a Welcome Message, What's New section, and other
information.
- Current Course Web Pages:
Links to the on-line Course Catalog and Course Schedule.
Requires additional programming.
- Undergraduate Special Opportunities:
Includes links to Global Campus for Study Abroad, Undergraduate
Research Opportunities, and Alumni Association's Mentoring Program.
Simply enter information about department-specific scholarships
or internships.
- Related Publications and Professional
and Student Organizations: Will need additional formatting
and linking to enclude publications and organizations that are
of interest to your students and faculty.
- K-12 Involvement: Enter links
to local schools or other partners that your faculty or other
staff are involved with outside of the University.
