Each academic department is responsible for managing the content of their respective departmental website. Program representatives can have editing access to update as needed. Please reference our comprehensive list of who has editing permissions.
Note: if you’re seeking to remove/add editors, email help@case.edu and medweb@case.edu.
Getting Started
Before access to edit your department/program website is granted, you will need to complete Drupal training. Drupal is the Web Content Management system used to operate all CWRU web pages.
If you are not Drupal trained, please register for an upcoming training session by emailing help@case.edu. Keep in mind there can only be a limited number of website editors per site. Please check within your department/office and review the editor list to see if anyone else is managing your site that you can work with for needed edits.
Once trained in Drupal, UMC offers frequent drop-in sessions should you need a refresher or have a question. Additional helpful resources related to web page management and Drupal are outlined below.

Managing Your Website
Web Writing
Your webpage content should be written in a way that is conducive to those who scan for key information. Websites should also read in the same voice to viewers. To aid in this effort, UMC has put together an Editorial Style Guide.

Accessibility
Web accessibility is the practice of creating web content that is usable for individuals of all levels of ability. As a federally-funded institution, CWRU webpages must abide by accessibility standards.

Biographies
Biographies are used to capture information on CWRU faculty, staff, and other key players within departments. However, biography pages are created and edited differently than standard web pages.
