It’s been a busy couple of weeks. Find out what we’ve been up to, and what’s coming up.
Go Mobile programme
Linda’s been getting the Clearing site migration under way – the site has been migrated into T4 and is undergoing a post-migration check.
The alumni site is gearing up for go live on the 20 April – we’re running final checks and adding final content.
Linda’s set up a process to manage the content work coming through Go Mobile – using a combination and of technology (Trello) and Blue Peter (pin board, sticky tape and post its) – we’ll get this programme cracked!
Careers websites
Jane has project managed the Go Mobile process for the huge Careers website – and it’s finally on the last leg. Fair to say this one has been… ‘tricky’. She might need a lie down now.
It was so big, we’ve created four new, audience-focused websites:
• Careers Service
• Careers Occupations (information site)
• Employers
• Staff (internal)
The new Employers website went live on Monday 4 April, and both the Careers Service and Careers Occupations will go live on Wednesday 13 April.
Andrew is continuing to populate the Careers Occupations site, which is substantial. He’s certainly finding out a lot about the different kind of jobs you can get. He’s still very happy with being a web content officer – so no career change imminent.
Jane and Lisa finalised the post-migration work on the Careers Service site and handed over the final sections to editors. Jane is also organising some extra editorial and T4 training for Careers staff.
Lisa is also helping populate the Careers Occupations site, and is writing some handover notes for managing events on the Careers site after it goes live.
Emily is proof reading the Careers Occupations website, while Emma C is proof reading the Careers Service website – phew!!! All ready for go live next week.
Campaigns and other developments
Emma C is reviewing our editorial style guide with a view to making it more accessible and easy to use.
Andrew wrote a blog post with tips on how to avoid broken links on your site, and Jane added a quick guide to lists. Lisa wrote this month’s newsletter for the blog.
Training and support
Linda ran a media training session.
We’ve received 41 support requests through the NU Service Helpdesk and have resolved 19 of them.
Plans for the next few weeks
There’s induction planning for another content officer starting with us on the 25 April.
We’ve got another round of Planning and Writing Web Content workshops coming up, as well as a session on T4 Basics.
