Quarterly review

Our website is one of the primary ways prospective students and their parents learn about our programs and all online information needs periodic review for accuracy. The goal of the quarterly review is to catch old or inaccurate information quickly so that we can provide the best experience possible for our web viewers, reduce confusion, and communicate clearly the value of a Walla Walla University education.

Once each quarter, all departments should do a review of their web pages. Use this checklist to guide you in your review. Please go through each item carefully and fix any issues that you find or contact the Web Content Manager for help in resolving the issue.

In addition to maintaining accuracy and quality in our content, a goal of this quarterly review is to provide the space to spark new ideas. As you review your content and have new ideas you'd like to see implemented on your pages, please contact the Web Content Manager—innovation is encouraged!
