Building a Website at YSM
Created in 2006, the School of Medicine’s Web Planning Group is directing the effort to rebuild websites for YSM organizations in the school's web template and in the school's web content management system. This is of particular urgency because the info.med server, which hosts many YSM websites, has become a major security risk and is scheduled to stop receiving support from YSM in October 2010.
This website is here to provide you with more information on the process of rebuilding your website in the CMS and to give you guidance on maintaining your new website’s content once it has gone live.
How to Get a Website
The Web Group has two solutions for building a YSM website: 1) official YSM organizations use the YSM web template and CMS; 2) lab and personal faculty websites use the YSM lab solution.
Website Building Process
Whether your old site is being rebuilt in the YSM web template or you are having an entirely new site built, it is important to understand that building a website up to YSM standards is a multi-stage process that takes a great deal of time, resources, and input from you.
Web Template Design
In October 2010, the YSM Web Group introduced a new web template to replace the "orange bar" template design. This new template was designed to comply with the Yale University and School of Medicine’s branding guidelines. We call this exciting project Template 2.0.
