UTMB Sitefinity Web CMS Web Authoring @ UTMB Health

Smartphones, tablets and other devices have changed the web landscape forever, reshaping the way we look at, work with and do business on the web.

The Sitefinity CMS enables us to deliver a unified, flexible, strategic web experience. Not only does it help us to deliver a responsive, modern web presence, but it actually does a pretty good job of making managing websites enjoyable for humans.

Sitefinity is easy to learn and really good at simplifying complex operations down to a few strategic clicks and a little online text editing — making rapid, dynamic web development possible from the web browser.

The Sitefinity Web Content Management System (Web CMS) is UTMB Health’s primary supported platform for web site creation, management and hosting.

Sitefinity was introduced to UTMB in 2015 and has been enhanced continually since its deployment. As this is published, there are 270 UTMB web sites being hosted in the CMS, in both public and intranet environments.

Sitefinity is a web-based application: Users are NOT required to purchase or install any special software or hardware. Sites can be managed from any internet-connected computer running a modern web browser. Multiple training tools are available, including online training, videos, and hands-on classroom training (offered in collaboration between Marketing & Communications and IS Training).

Sitefinity offers a template-based solution where branding issues including color, typefaces and logo usage have largely been addressed. Sites built in the CMS are also responsive/mobile friendly by default, ensuring that content is available to users regardless of the type of device being used.
