Types of Website Changes
Website Change Requests are for pages on the BYU-Idaho official website. This service does not manage content in Canvas, myBYUI, university web applications, or other digital systems.
Update Existing Content
Request changes when dates, requirements, processes, contact information, links, or other webpage content needs to be corrected or updated.
Improve Web Content
Request changes when existing content needs to be rewritten, reorganized, or clarified to better serve its audience.
Add New Content
Request new content when existing webpages cannot adequately meet the communication need. Larger additions may require additional planning with your Strategic Communications Coordinator.
Remove Outdated Content
Request the removal of information that is no longer accurate, useful, or necessary.
Usage Guidelines
Keep Information Current
Review your department’s web content regularly and submit updates when policies, processes, dates, requirements, contacts, or other information changes.
Write for the Audience
Organize content around what visitors need to know or accomplish rather than around internal university structures and processes.
Use Existing Content When Possible
Improve existing webpages before requesting new ones. Avoid duplicating information that is already maintained elsewhere on BYU-Idaho's official website.
Link to the Source
When another university webpage maintains the authoritative information, link to that page rather than creating and maintaining a second version.
Make the Next Step Clear
Help visitors know what to do next by linking directly to the appropriate application, form, registration, service, or resource.
Follow Web and Brand Standards
Website content should follow BYU-Idaho standards for accessibility, writing, photography, illustration, video, logos, colors, typefaces, and other brand elements.
Use Approved University Web Platforms
Do not create or publish independent websites to provide official BYU-Idaho information or services to students, employees, or other university audiences. University web content should be published through approved university platforms so it remains connected to the BYU-Idaho brand, accessibility standards, security requirements, and established content management processes.
New web experiences, significant content reorganizations, or needs that cannot be addressed through an existing official webpage may require additional planning. Contact your Strategic Communications Coordinator before developing a separate solution.
Submit a Website Change Request with the page URL, requested changes, and any information needed to complete the update.
No. Website Change Requests apply only to content on BYU-Idaho's official website. Contact the team responsible for the appropriate system for changes to Canvas, myBYUI, university applications, or other digital platforms.
