How to Become a Site Editor

---

Important Blackout Notice

As part of our 2025 website design upgrade, we have temporarily paused our CMS New Site Editor training and are not accepting enrollment at this time. This blackout period is to ensure our CMS administrators can place all resources and time towards the demands of this project. We will resume new site editor training following our go-live date. For more information, please vist our upgrade timeline page.

If you are already trained within the CMS, you may still request access to a CMS site. Training will be verified before access will be granted.

 

What if I don't have a site editor?

If you are in need of basic website edits or this blackout impacts your ability to maintain your website, please contact fast@uwyo.edu. They have a team of fully trained CMS site editors who can make standard website content edits for a low cost that can be paid via a university IDT.

Training & Getting Access

CMS training is extensive to ensure site editors are equipped to independently manage their website. Once you have completed training, you will be prompted to request access to your site(s) through a ticket.

 

 

Page Building & Branding

Site editors are given several templates to choose from to build and maintain their web pages along with an introduction to UW’s branding guidelines. You will learn more about these in training.

Importance of Accessibility

UW is committed to providing an equitable experience for individuals using screen readers and other assistive technology to access our website. This is a mandatory requirement of all CMS site editors.
