The Trinity website (www.tcd.ie) encompasses many sub-sites which are maintained by a nominated web author(s) on behalf of each academic and administrative area.
In order to ensure long-term value from the time and effort spent in designing and implementing high quality websites and Trinity branding and to ensure consistency in design and navigation for primary publicly accessible web pages in schools, faculties, departments, research institutes, administrative, support and service areas:
1. Specific sections of web pages will be designed and maintained centrally by the web design office in consultation with the functional area concerned and
2. Specific sections of web pages will be maintained and up-dated locally by the web author(s).
See Design and Maintenance Policy

It is highly recommended that web authors complete the 'Maintaining Trinity Websites' course conducted by IT Services which gives information on website maintenance and configuration using Dreamweaver.
This facility is run by digital and is focused on helping web authors who are actively working on content publishing for website (re)design projects. If you wish to book the workspace please contact [email protected] for further information.
