Web Development

The SNC web site is maintained using a Content Management System (CMS) called Cascade Server. This system allows College departments & organizations to manage their own web areas using a browser-based tool that requires no special software or knowledge of HTML. It also allows for a consistent look across the entire College web site.

Web Development Support & Training

Our how-to instructions area has links to lots of information and instructions on web development and Cascade Server. If you're just starting a new campus department or organization web site, or need to get access to a current site, see the Getting Started page.
