UniSA Web Authoring Guide
Welcome to the UniSA Web Authoring Guide. Current and new web authors at UniSA will use this guide to author
their webpages. Managers will find this document a useful guide to web
policy.
Purpose of this guide
This guide aims to help new and existing web authors work in the new authoring environment. It incorporates a style and user guide into one framework outlining the policies behind web authoring, the design structure of the new corporate web and procedures for authoring in this medium.
The guide assumes that authors have had some training in FrontPage or SharePoint Designer (preferred) and using the templates, and therefore provides instructions to using the authoring tools developed specifically for the UniSA corporate website. See Training and support if you need information on training.
