{strong}Cascade{/strong}{br} Cascade Server is the web content management system (CMS) used by nearly a thousand editors to create and maintain hundreds of William & Mary websites. In addition to offering {{http://www.wm.edu/cascade, regular training and support}}, University Web & Design builds templates and writes the code needed to bring award-winning designs to life.

{strong}W&M Events{/strong}{br} {{http://www.wm.edu/offices/uc/webanddesign/web/events/, W&M Events}} is a unique and complete calendaring system built and maintained in-house. It offers calendars to individual units, university-level calendars for aggregate views, and event sharing across the platform – everyone at W&M can create and recommend events.

{strong}Campus Map{/strong}{br}We built the {{http://www.wm.edu/about/visiting/campusmap, Campus Map}} using data provided by GIS to integrate seamlessly into the W&M website. You can browse locations by name, category or use the comprehensive search. Each location’s page provides a photo, embedded Google map, directions, summary of use and accessibility information (where available).

{strong}myW&M{/strong}{br}{{https://my.wm.edu, myW&M}} serves as a central information hub for the campus community, where links to popular web services and up-to-the-minute news, event and twitter feeds are organized in a single, convenient location.

{strong}W&M Digest{/strong}{br}Sharing announcements with W&M faculty and staff is easy with the {{https://www.wm.edu/offices/uc/webanddesign/web/wmdigest/, W&M Digest}}. Any faculty or staff member can log in to create and submit an announcement for delivery in the daily email or to browse the digest archives. The same code we developed to run the W&M Digest is used by students for the Student Happenings newsletter and the Greek Digest.

{strong}W&M Experts{/strong}{br}William & Mary faculty and staff are sought after by national and international media for their scholarship and professional expertise. Partnering with University News & Media, we built {{https://www.wm.edu/offices/uc/mediarelations/experts/, W&M Experts}} – a custom database providing quick search access for media and garnering media placements for the university.
