Since then we have built a solid web content platform for NAU that encompasses people, processes, and technology: Developed and delivered comprehensive training for hundreds of site editors Established initial communities with Unit Web Coordinators and WordPress users Engaged users across the institution as part of the Ektron migration work Crafted and implemented processes around content standards, information architecture, accessible documents, training, support, and numerous other aspects of a web ecosystem Enhanced the performance of the nau.edu platform even as load has scaled Built and implemented the in.nau.edu platform with new technologies and support models Continually improved on the theme and integrations to deliver new features and increase stability
