In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of setting up a GA4 property, tracking it in parallel with an existing Universal Analytics property, and configuring it to track events, measure scroll depth, and measure engagement with embedded videos.
OIT Web Hosting accounts can be accessed remotely via a protocol called SSH, which gives you a command line style interface to the hosting account. From there, a knowledgable person such as a web developer can manipulate the files on the website, changing settings and configuration and even writing and debugging code to some extent. (The SSH interface on OIT Web Hosting is somewhat limited in its capabilities, so it's not recommended that anyone actually attempt to develop code using it, but technically this is possible.)
Whether you are building sites from scratch or helping to maintain a production site, you are going to need some place to do your development work and test updates that need to be rolled out to your sites. You may even want to implement a pipeline process where you have development, test, and production versions of your sites.
What follows is a brief discussion of development server options
Moving forward, the website should be maintained on a regular basis. This should include Drupal updates, security updates, content maintenance, and basic page styling.
Once the site is fully approved, a launch date should be scheduled and the website prepared for launch. The website launch is when the new website is made visible to the public.
The testing phase is for all participants to test the website and fix any errors before making it live to the public.
The test plan should include:
Wireframes are 2D illustrations indicating where the major navigation and content elements will appear on a webpage.
Include full screen and responsive views/layouts.
During the scope phase, you will identify the technical and functionality requirements for the new website. If you need to outsource any work, the information that you have gathered in the initiation, discovery, and scope phases will be critical for the external vendor.
Once the project has been formally started, the discovery phase begins. This phase is meant to reveal the state of your website today and your competitive landscape. All team members should participate in this phase of the project.
