WebCMS Manual for the TUD Website
TUD’s organizational units or projects can use their own websites to present their topics and services. To simplify content management for the websites, web editors have access to a web content management system (WebCMS for short) based on Plone, which offers numerous content elements for page design. Unit 7.5 Web and Video is responsible for the technical provision of the WebCMS and continuously develops its functionalities.
This page provides you with an overview of all the information and instructions you need for user-friendly, accessible and professional maintenance of your web content on your website - from creating the first page to the quality check.
