Work with Campus Web Services

Here's what you get:

Platform level support from an experienced team.

We are already hosting over 350 campus websites on Pantheon and have extensive team experience with the platform and all of the tools available to make the most of it. We manage custom upstreams, automate our workflows with Terminus, and meet quarterly with Pantheon to review how we are using the platform and what is coming up on the roadmap. We'll help to make sure that you aren't blindsided by platform level changes and will work with you to iron out any kinks in this new environment.

Fully maintained Upstream for continuous delivery of Quickstart.

With the Quickstart Upstream, Drupal 9 core is packaged together with the Arizona digital branding assets, and commonly needed components into a desired start-state to use over and over again. Spin up new sites in seconds, with the ability to release improvements to the shared upstream code at scale. No more starting from scratch or needing senior talent to set up a new project, no more headaches over updates. 

Campus Web Services manages this Upstream and typically makes updates available within hours of Arizona Digital tagging a new release of Quickstart.

Get full access to all developer features in Pantheon.

Working within our institutional Edu+ contract with Pantheon gives you access to features such as Multi-dev that are typically only available on Elite level sites. Your permissions will allow you to see all of your sites on a single dashboard and have full code level access to all of your environments. We won't be a bottleneck for any of your development work, but are available if you have any problems or questions about best practices.

Staff Requirements for Partner Program

You must have developers on staff or have a support contract with an external vendor that can maintain all of your sites.

Site Requirements for Hosting in Pantheon

• We will require annual verification from you that each of your sites is still needed in the upcoming year.
• Faculty websites will not be eligible for Pantheon hosting. Please consider our Arizona Faculty Sites service (http://sites.arizona.edu) for these sites instead.

Considerations for Low Traffic or Stale Websites

• Sites that get fewer than 100 monthly visits
• Sites that haven't had their content updated in more than a year

Many people believe that the best way to get visibility for your project is to have a standalone website.  In fact, small standalone websites with modest traffic typically never rise to the top in Google's search ranking, making this content difficult for users to find. Adding your content to a relevant website that itself is receiving higher traffic is the fastest and easiest way to help your web content become visible to a wider audience.

Before you request a standalone website, consider consulting with your Designated Marketing Lead to strategize about the most effective way to communicate your message on the web.

If you administer a larger website Campus Web Services can help you create unique permissions on your site to allow for editors to access only pages that you want them to. If not, we can help connect you to site owners that do.
