What is it?
A list of 魅影直播 (official, institutional) websites and who manages them.
The data shown in the Website Registry includes:
- the names and email addresses of the people who own, edit, and support each website
- the content management system (CMS) system used to manage the site
- the main audience for each website
What is its purpose and who is it for?
All Queen鈥檚 employees (faculty, staff, and student-staff ) with a NetID can view the website registry to discover and contact the people responsible for our public-facing websites.
It is meant to be used by individuals as well as by marketing and communications teams and governance groups.
The people listed in the registry may be contacted to share information about:
- policy updates related to Queen鈥檚 digital environment
- changes that may affect multiple websites (e.g., URL updates, name changes, new processes, deadlines)
- errors (like broken links or typos)
- compliance issues (branding, accessibility, privacy, security)
- ways to improve usability
- training opportunities to build digital skills
Who updates it?
The Website Registry is a self-service tool.
Anyone responsible for an official Queen鈥檚 website is expected to keep its registry entry up to date.
This may include:
- a site contact, such as the site owner, primary editor/main contact, or lead technical support person
- a member of a faculty marketing and communications team (for faculty-related websites, even if they don鈥檛 directly manage the site)
- a representative from a central unit, service portfolio, or a vice-principal鈥檚 office (for websites within their area, even if they don鈥檛 directly manage the site)
