Web content is an important way to communicate with your audience. For something extensive like a major overhaul, consulting with the comms rep is vital.
Tip: Use this short 1-pager to help you get started.
If you need to create or move pages or sections, please discuss with your
communications representative first. Moving pages can create unintended side effects, including broken links.
Please note: you cannot create or change a top-level section without completing a website approval request form (Word doc).
All new websites must receive approval from PHSA Communications & Engagement
before work begins.
If you think you might need a website, contact your
communications representative to discuss:
- How the proposed website will support the operational objectives of your PHSA program or service, and how it aligns with PHSA's strategic goals
- Who your priority audiences are, and how it will serve them
- How you will resource the project to deliver a new website
- How you plan to maintain the site after launch
If your communications representative agrees that a website is needed to support your operational goals, complete and attach a website approval request (Word doc) in the Web Help request form.
While the exact timing for projects differs, you should expect the process for approval to take up to six weeks, including the time it takes to complete and submit your approval request form.
Your department/program head needs to approve any new interactive tools, like calculators or look-up tools.
The first step is to discuss the idea with your
communications representative. If approved, the web strategy team will review and consult with our PDHIS technical team to see if they can build it. If not, PDHIS will provide technical specs to your third-party vendor to ensure the tool will work on our websites.
