Becoming a web author

Using Sitecore to update the University website is a skilled task which needs a fair bit of regular practice to become proficient at it. At the same time, web authors need to be skilled at writing for the web as well as have a keen knowledge of web accessibility requirements and the University’s writing style.

This is why we generally only offer Sitecore web author training two members of staff per team. That way we can ensure editing skills are regularly used by the same people and our high standards on the website can be achieved.

If you think you need to have access to edit the website and would like to receive web author training, please contact wedm@essex.ac.uk.
