Create and maintain a website
McGill webpages are built and maintained using a content management system called the McGill Web Management System (WMS). To access the WMS, you must complete the required online training.
To find out which courses you will need to take, review the table of required courses by role on the Web Services website. You may register for these courses by submitting the Training Request Form. Finally, requests to add or remove site contributors may be done by completing the WMS Website Permissions Form.
Additional resources
- McGill's Digital Standards provide guidance on website accessibility, security, usability, and optimization.
- The Web Services team offers technical support and one-on-one consultations for larger projects, including website redesigns.
If you have questions or need assistance with your unit’s website, our team would also be happy to help. Reach out to us!
Build a following on social media
Many units at McGill interact with their communities across multiple social media platforms, including Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Bluesky, and YouTube.
Below are some resources for creating and maintaining McGill-affiliated social media accounts:
- Customized and Branded Social Media Avatar
All McGill social media accounts are required to use an official McGill-branded icon/avatar. Please complete the Customized Social Media Avatars Request Form to request one for your department, school, or unit. - McGill's Social Media Guidelines
Anyone who posts to an official McGill social media account should be familiar with the university’s guidelines for social media. - McGill's Visual Identity Guide and Visual Assets
Your unit’s accounts should project a consistent and coherent look as described in the McGill Visual Identity Guide, which provides download links for visual assets, including logos, as well as an overview of McGill’s visual system.
