How do I know which software to use and where can I get a copy of it?


Haas Computing Services and the Haas online marketing team recommend and support Adobe GoLive and Microsoft FrontPage for the development and editing of web pages.

How do I set up a web page for my department/unit/institute/project/student organization/course?


The online marketing team provides consulting for faculty and staff web sites hosted on the Haas School's two central web servers. The online marketing team provides advice and recommendations to the Haas School's official web page editors. Due to our small size and constrained resources, only limited support for student projects is available. Review the online marketing team Service Level Agreement for details on the services available.


New faculty and staff web projects are supported to the extent online marketing team resources and staff are available. Management pre-approval is required. With the exception of the top-level pages of the Haas web site, the Haas online marketing team does not produce web content or maintain Haas web sites. If you are a faculty or staff member and want to request work on a new project, submit a detailed Project Request form to the helpdesk. (Contact helpdesk for a copy of the form.) Students who need help should contact the HCS Multimedia Coordinator

The online marketing team does not update older versions of the faculty directory or faculty members' personal home pages.
