Phase 7: Governance & Maintenance

The Goal

To ensure your site remains healthy, accessible, and relevant for years to come. A website is a garden, not a statue—it needs regular weeding and care!

The Benefit

Regular check-ins prevent content rot and ensure that your site continues to meet university accessibility standards. This proactive approach saves your Unit from having to do another massive redesign a few years down the road.

What to Expect

Post-Launch Support

We’re still here! You’ll have a clear process for reporting bugs or requesting small feature enhancements.

Six-Month Wellness Checks

Every six months, we’ll trigger a Governance Review. We’ll look at your analytics together and run an accessibility audit to keep your site performing at its best.

Design System Updates

As the Student Life brand evolves, we’ll push technical updates to your site so it always stays modern without your team having to lift a finger.

Tips for This Phase

Calendar It

Set a recurring reminder for your team to review your content and pages at regular intervals, above and beyond the scheduled check-ins with The Web Team.

Report, Don’t Ignore

If you find a bug or think of a new feature you need, use our Change Request process rather than trying to build a workaround yourself.
