Project, Initiative and Center Site Structure

The Project site structure is intended to be flexible enough to accommodate a range of projects, initiatives, and centers, but you can easily edit the menu and pages if they do not fit your needs. Choosing the Project site preset will pre-populate your website with these menu links and pages: HOMEOverview, Activities, People, Resources, News & Events, About

  1. Using the Project site structure

Below are tips and examples of the kinds of content to consider including in each section. 

1. Overview

Purpose: To describe up front what your initiative/project does. This section does not need to literally be called “Overview;” you can come up with anther suitable title that is more specific to your project.
Examples: Information about who your project serves, the project’s purpose, and and outcomes, mission statement.

2. Activities

Purpose: To highlight the activities of your initiative. Again, this can be customized to best fit your project. You could call this section “programs,” for example.  
Examples: Information about your programs and initiatives.

3. People

Purpose: To highlight the project’s leadership and staff. The profiles can highlight their roles, expertise, and contact information.

4. Resources

Purpose: To highlight resources and facilities that will be of interest or useful to your visitors. Examples of what to include: Forms, applications, information about facilities, training, documentation, reports, other tools or information that can be used by your visitors.

Purpose: To showcase what’s happening now in your department, announcements, and upcoming events.
