Montclair.edu is a critical component of the University\u2019s communications infrastructure.<\/p>\n
In 2026, we are migrating all of the content on this website to a streamlined two-site system that optimizes our future web presence: a public facing site (montclair.edu<\/a>) for prospective students and a public-facing site (inside.montclair.edu)<\/a> for current students, faculty and staff. While Inside will be the comprehensive digital resource for our internal community, it will it be a publicly accessible website – not a private, password-protected intranet. Nest.montclair.edu<\/a> will continue in it’s current format.<\/p>\n For answers to commonly asked questions, please review our FAQ.<\/a><\/p>\n This project has a comprehensive set of objectives designed to improve the user experience, support our university\u2019s mission, and ensure efficiency in managing the website.<\/p>\n We aim to reduce friction in accessing critical information and priority content while more efficiently organizing content intended for internal vs. external audiences. Including:<\/p>\n We will work on enhancing optimization for search engines (SEO), including optimizing for voice search and addressing the deficits of the current internal search engine.

This project will clarify roles and responsibilities for University Communications and Marketing, Information Technology, and the many academic and administrative units that manage content on montclair.edu. We will also seek ways to streamline production and management, such as use of workflows and a \u201cpublish once, appear many times\u201d strategy. We also need to establish best practice approaches to keeping content current, including removing content that is no longer accurate or necessary.<\/p>\n We will explore options to enhance our current web content management system (WordPress) or consider potential migration to a new system, taking into account project goals, user needs, content management strategies and governance requirements.<\/p>\n Program Finder + Program Pages<\/b><\/p>\n Web Information Management Plan<\/b><\/p>\n inside.montclair.edu Project Planning<\/b><\/p>\n inside.montclair.edu Phase 1: Content Migration Planning & Approval<\/b><\/p>\n Phase 2: Migration & Build<\/b><\/p>\n As the project moves toward the August 3rd launch date, University Communications and Marketing will continue to provide guidance, training and support to help units complete their site builds and prepare for the transition to the new web ecosystem.<\/p>\n Sponsor<\/strong>: Jonathan Koppell<\/p>\n Accountable Executive: <\/strong>Joseph Brennan<\/p>\n Project Director<\/strong>: Sandy Deane<\/p>\n Project Coordination and Support<\/strong>: Ariana Leyton-White<\/p>\n Project Vendor<\/strong>: OHO Interactive<\/p>\n Core team<\/strong>: Experts from University Communications and Marketing and IT<\/p>\n The project team will work closely with multiple stakeholders across campus, including the Web Content Managers and others who are engaged in producing and managing the website.
