Southeast Missouri State University

Managing Your Website

Southeast’s content management system allows the University to have a centralized base of expertise to manage its Web presence while also allowing a broad network of editors across departments who can all edit their own content directly.

Think of it as a “federal” system of Web site design. Departments have control over their own sites, but those sites still fall under the umbrella and responsibility of the larger organization.

Since we use this system of shared responsibility, it is helpful to define exactly “who does what.” Follow the links below to get a better understanding of how the pieces of this puzzle fit together.

What You Do
The RedDot system allows you to make a lot of edits to your site directly, all without any special software or help from anyone else. Here’s a list of the types of things that you can change yourself.
What Web Design & Support Does
In a system as complex as RedDot there are some things you need to leave to the professionals to take care of. This list will let you know which buttons not to touch.
Ask Us If
Sometimes it’s better to be safe than sorry, and we’ve spent a lot of time with this system. Here’s a list of things you might see while editing in RedDot and you should ask us for help fixing before you spend too much time trying to figure it out on your own.
