Stanford Web Services
Overview
Stanford Web Services provides the Stanford community a full range of website planning, implementation, and maintenance support at well below market rates. While assistance is available for web projects of any scale and nature, the core services are designed to be most attractive to departments and official groups that choose to benefit from the University's best design ideas (both shared and original) and its most efficient, centrally-funded infrastructure tools. Services include:
- design, development, and production services;
- oversight of university web branding, including web themes and style guidelines; and
- project consultation and guidance on vendor relationships.
Available to
Current university departments and approved groups.
Features
Stanford Web Services provides four tiers of service. The Starter Package, Basic Site, and Basic Site Plus tiers deliver websites built exclusively on the Stanford Sites web hosting infrastructure (currently Drupal version 6):
- Starter Package
- We will guide you through the installation of a self-service instance of Drupal on Stanford Sites. Once installed, you construct the site yourself using built-in Drupal tools and features.
- Basic Site
- We create a simple department or group website that requires little technical expertise for ongoing management, at a cost far below market rates. Basic Sites are hosted on Stanford Sites. More about Basic Sites.
- Basic Site Plus
- For units whose web needs are largely met by the Basic Site service but who require additional functionality, design customization, or support. More about Basic Sites Plus.
STANFORD SITES UPGRADE COMING SOON — Scheduled improvements include Drupal 7 availability for new sites, WebAuth module upgrade to version 3, and more.
The Custom Site service is tailored for departments with more expansive needs or advanced requirements, such as a unique design, ecommerce capability, or dedicated hardware or virtual hosting:
- Custom Site
- Stanford Web Services will identify your requirements, lend information architecture and content strategy expertise, and identify solutions — including finding and managing partner vendors from RFP through project completion. More about Custom Sites.
