Web Development
We provide website development and maintenance for academic and administrative units at UNLV that effectively communicate and strategically align with the university’s pages.
Web Strategy
Averaging 2.07 million pageviews per month, UNLV's website is the university's largest communication vehicle, and a primary source of information for our internal and external audiences, including current and prospective students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors, parents, family, and the community.
The Web & Digital Strategy unit delivers a world-class, user-centered web presence that supports UNLV's mission and strategic goals. We ensure that UNLV's diverse audiences are able to access the information they seek easily and equally. Embracing flexibility, new ideas and emerging technologies allows the university to effectively showcase its people and quality work.
Web Consultation
Our team provides a variety of consulting services in areas such as digital marketing, content strategy, web analytics, web accessibility and user experience.
Goals of Service Delivery
- Provide high-quality core services to the university community in a sustainable way.
- Incentivize campus units to work within the Web & Digital Strategy framework and not seek outside assistance that may damage the UNLV brand and result in poor web user experience.
Service Delivery Timelines
How long will it take to build my site? This is the most frequent and often the most difficult question we receive. The timeline largely depends on you and the scope of your site. Your speed collecting content, obtaining approvals, and submitting changes impact the pace of the process. With that said, given our current resources and past experience we've estimated the timeline.
