Preparing for Cascade Server

Before converting your site(s) over to Cascade Server, there are several steps you should take to prepare.

• Identify a primary person responsible for content publishing and a secondary person in the event that the primary is unavailable or leaves the department.
• Conduct an assessment of your website(s) in terms of purpose, audience, and content.
• Ask your current site visitors to provide feedback on what they like and do not like about the site. What do they have difficulty finding?
• Check for information ROT: Redundant (located elsewhere and doesn't need to be reproduced here); Outdated (should this be updated or discontinued?); Trivial (unimportant, should be discontinued).
• Update all current content.
• Delete all unnecessary content.
• Review the College's Branding and Style Guide.
• Attend a scheduled training.
• Avoid using tables and or frames. These make Section 508 compliance difficult. Replacing tables and frames will also make for easier transition into Cascade.
