Step 2: Client engagement – ANU web environment

Follow the steps below once your brand category is finalised and agreed by both parties.

The ANU 'website' is composed of hundreds of individual websites built and maintained by staff across the Colleges and Divisions. Every site under *anu.edu.au should adhere to ANU brand guidelines in order to represent the University positioning. The following are the platforms that central supports if built internally.

If you would like to build a website in a platform not listed above, it must be approved by CISO and Privacy. Hosting arrangements must be made for the new platform after approval. Please note the new platforms backend (admin/editorial mode) should also be accessible AA 2.1 providing flexibility to staff with accessibility issues.

All *anu.edu.au domains must be hosted internally for security.
