Keeping University Websites Useful, Accessible and Manageable.

At the University of Missouri–St. Louis, I bring CMS administration, employee training, website photography, content support and website quality assurance together to help university teams maintain their web presence.

Organization

University of Missouri–St. Louis

My Role

Web Content Administrator

Focus

Cascade CMS, employee training and workshops, website photography, contributor support, accessibility, SEO and website maintenance

The Ongoing Challenge

University websites serve many audiences and depend on content maintained by different departments. Clear information, usable page layouts and reliable publishing processes all matter. My work supports both the people visiting those pages and the contributors responsible for keeping them current.

My Contribution

CMS Administration

I administer Cascade CMS, manage permissions and help resolve editing and publishing issues so contributors can work within the appropriate site structure.

Contributor Support

I help content owners update pages, organize information and troubleshoot problems, translating technical CMS behavior into practical next steps.

Content Quality

I review and improve content with attention to accessibility, usability, SEO and mobile responsiveness, alongside routine website maintenance.

Cascade CMS Training & Workshops

I provide training and workshops for UMSL employees on using Cascade CMS to update the university website. I work with both beginners and advanced users, tailoring guidance to their experience with the content management system.

For beginners, the focus is getting comfortable with Cascade and learning how to make website updates. For advanced users, I provide guidance that builds on their existing knowledge and supports more experienced content contributors in their ongoing website work.

Photography for the UMSL Website

I also provide photography for the UMSL website, creating original images for university web content. This work brings my photography skills into my role as Web Content Administrator and complements my work maintaining and improving the site.

Examples of the Work

Content Organization

Updating departmental information, organizing meeting minutes and archives, and arranging time-sensitive resources so visitors can find the right material.

Accessibility Guidance

Helping contributors understand heading structure, descriptive links and accessible tables, including when a structural issue needs support from the web team.

Permissions & Troubleshooting

Investigating missing editing controls, content access and page-copy issues, then helping contributors continue their work.

Selected Public Examples

These pages show the departmental content environments I support. My contribution focuses on content organization, maintenance and contributor support within UMSL’s existing website system.

How I Approach a Request

  1. Clarify the need. Understand the audience, the requested change and where it belongs in the site.
  2. Resolve the content or CMS issue. Work through page structure, content, permissions or publishing behavior.
  3. Review the experience. Check the result for clarity, accessibility, links and responsive presentation.
  4. Support the handoff. Explain the change and give contributors useful guidance for maintaining it.

What This Work Demonstrates

This ongoing role connects technical administration with everyday content needs. It demonstrates my ability to train employees at different skill levels, work with contributors, create original website photography, solve CMS problems and apply design and quality standards throughout a website’s lifecycle.
