forcing the campus to become more web-savvy.
Stanford departments are ready for more sophisticated use of their web sites.• Web site as tool, not “brochure-ware”
Desire to “raise the floor” of Stanford web.• Look and feel: World-class or high-school class?

Campus Trends In the marketplace:
• New tools are easing content creation and maintenance
• High-cost remains for CMS
• Open Sourcing is lowering cost of application development (but it’s still not cheap)
Identity tension remains• Stanford/School/Department/Research Group
• Cross-disciplinary efforts
Academic/intellectual energy around the web continues to grow
Campus knowledge remains in silos, but walls are breaking down

No substitute for fresh content.
People don’t care how you are organized (really).
Help people accomplish the task they came to do.
Presentation matters.

Start the train and people will jump on.
