The University has provided templates and a style guide for University web sites through the Office of Public Relations.

The University web pages reside on a collection of distributed web servers. Each Faculty has their own web server and web page collection that is referenced from the main University web server at www.mcmaster.ca/home.html. Several administrative units also manage their own web server. Departments that do not have their own web server, or those areas not associated with a faculty, may apply for web space on the main university web server.

UTS provides the following on the main University server:

• No cost for setup of home directory.
• Standard space allocation, including system support (backup, recovery). Extra space may be purchased at current UTS rates.
• Access to generic central cgi-bin scripts (e.g. mail_results for web forms). Customers cannot create a cgi-bin or run their own scripts.
• One three-hour site consultation, including web page design or training of data loading and updating. The three-hour consultation would result in a basic home page with limited content and one or two scanned or digital images and links to related sites.

  Thereafter, work may be contracted on a fee for service basis, at standard current UTS hourly rates.

Site Design, Creation and Other Enhancements

Other services available from UTS on a fee for service basis include:

• Create PDF documents (for posting policies, forms etc.) in Adobe Acrobat format
• Can provide restricted access to some WWW pages e.g. to McMaster community only, by password or specific machine
• Encryption of data for secure transactions
• URL redirection or aliasing for shorter or meaningful URLS
• Scanning services, promotion/research of links to other sites included in hourly charge

These services are billed at standard current UTS hourly rates.

Please contact webmaster@mcmaster.ca> to discuss maintenance options, packages and schedules.
