Introduction
Cascade is the web content management system (WCMS) used to update official websites at St. Cloud State University.
University websites are managed by professional staff who are responsible for maintaining the digital presence that reflects the excellence of St. Cloud State University. Key capabilities include:
- Maintaining clean, vibrant, and accurate content.
- Meeting accessibility and compliance standards.
- Upholding SCSU brand and editorial guidelines.
Within campus units, designated web editors are trained to use Cascade to manage their websites. Web editor changes are submitted through a workflow and reviewed by University Communications to ensure consistency, search engine optimization, and that websites remain usable, searchable, and accessible.
