Telling the ETSU Story Digitally

The University Marketing and Communications web team exists to support the university's strategic goals and initiatives. We strive to make the ETSU website informative, engaging, aesthetic, accessible, easy to navigate, and easily found in search results. 

With this knowledge, we tell the ETSU story digitally and guide you in how to do the same for your department's subsite.

These stats are so important to keep top of mind while creating an effective website. Your department website is crucial to telling your ETSU story. 

Your website should serve as a marketing tool that offers visitors valuable information, piques their interest, and encourages them to take action. 

Your Website Toolkit

Because ETSU's website is so large, we depend on departments to designate web editors who can update their departmental subsites. The toolkit below helps set web editors like you up for success as you tell the ETSU story through your department's site.
