The Sites.SMU server is designed to host departmental web content that is not compatible with the Sitecore environment. Whenever possible, all public web content for a department should reside on Sitecore and utilize the approved templates and branding. Any exceptions must be requested and will be reviewed based on need.
Getting Started
To edit and publish your website on sites.smu.edu, you must first build your site using any web page authoring tool. Adobe Dreamweaver is the most popular WYSIWYG application at SMU for web publishing. Whichever application you choose, you will need to connect to the appropriate server to upload your content. See the guidelines below:
- Connect to sites.smu.edu (notice no www!)
- When prompted, enter SMU\SMUID as your username and enter your SMU password
- Depending on your application, changes may synchronize automatically upon saving the file or you may need to choose to upload the files when you are done.
