Preparing Pages for the Web - Apache & MS Internet Information Server (IIS)

Introduction

The web Content Management System (web CMS) called Activedition, created by C(2) software (www.c2software.co.uk) is now the preferred method for publishing information on the web on behalf of the University. The introduction of the CMS is being done in conjunction with the Branding Project. Training in the use of Activedition is provided by IT Services.

The webCMS enables relatively unskilled users to create, modify and publish information on the web. Some of the advantages of using the webCMS are:
