Web-Based Content at Tyndale

Web-Based Content at Tyndale

Website Documentation / Creating Content

There is a lot of content at Tyndale that needs to be shared, collected or communicated through web-based technology. While much of this content is put on the main tyndale.ca website, not all content is best served by this site. This document is intended to help think through what content should go where based on what criteria.

Note: The "main Tyndale website" currently encompasses two separate sites — www and www2. The latter is an older version of the site, and its content is being migrated to the primary www site as time allows.
