Acquiring Web Space

Official Texas Tech University entities and student organizations may request web hosting from Texas Tech by submitting a Department/Organization Web Hosting Account Application.

Requesting a Website Name

Website Names, such as http://www.mysite.ttu.edu/, can be requested by your department's Network Site Coordinator (NSC) through the process detailed on the NSC web site.  For more information, Please contact IT Help Central at ithelpcentral@ttu.edu or (806) 742-4375.

Registration of Website Content Owner

All website content owners must register their websites. Please contact Marketing & Communications Web for more information.

Content Management System

To serve Texas Tech University content owners, we provide support and training on a content management system (CMS) for web authoring. Our content management system allows authors to easily update the content on their web pages without needing in-depth web programming knowledge.

Find out more information on Modern Campus CMS, the University's content management system.

Texas Tech Global Template

The Texas Tech Global Template is a responsive, pre-styled website framework that follows the Texas Tech brand. This flexible framework is appropriate for different content types and simplifies the process of creating new sites and pages with a consistent look. The templates also address accessibility issues.

Only sites maintained using the university-approved CMS can use the templates implemented by Marketing & Communications.

Editable/Customizable Template Components

Each template has several components available for customization. These areas include:

• Primary content area
• Area-specific site menu
• Area-specific contact information
