What is an official UGA Web site?
An official UGA web site is one that provides information about official UGA academic or non-academic programs that advance the mission of the University.

- An explicit link to the UGA home page (http://www.uga.edu):
You should include somewhere on each page an explicit link to the home page. The link should read either University of Georgia Home or UGA Home. This link can be HTML text or part of a text graphic. - Link to school, college or division home page
Departments and offices should provide clear links to the home page of the school, college or division within which they reside. - Footer information
Each page should include the following standard footer information:
The email address of the person responsible for maintaining the page and responding user feedback: e.g. Feedback, questions or accessibility issues: webmaster@site.uga.edu.
The date the page was last updated: (e.g. Last updated: March 6, 2016). - Academic Departments
Academics departments should include all of the following features described above, plus:
• Information for prospective students including links to Undergraduate Admissions and Graduate School admissions
• Information distinguishing undergraduate program offerings (if applicable) - Accessible design
In association with the Disability Resource Center and web design experts on campus, EITS has selected and deployed LIFT, a server-based tool from UsableNet Inc., that dynamically generates customizable “text-only” views of websites. To make text-only versions of your pages, simply add a new link to your main page. The link could say, for example, “Text-Only Version”, and your URL link code would look like this:
http://text.usg.edu:8080/tt/your_site.uga.edu
Transcoded pages also include a tool section by default, allowing the user to customize the page by changing font size, page colors and other functions. For more information about web accessibility visitvisit http://wikiwiki.uga.edu/wag/index.php/UGA_Web_Accessibility_Group

- Regardless of whether the service is free or paid, you are committing to terms of use on behalf of UGA - you must get the requisite approval through Procurement, UGA Legal Affairs, and Infosec. (is there a link I can send people to about this process?)
- Follow the trademark and licensing requirements when using the UGA Trademark and Names. https://brand.uga.edu/university-logos
If you do not want to go through the process of obtaining permission to use third party hosting for an official UGA web site, you should consult with EITS about the Free Web Standard Hosting service.
