2020 technical achievements

What a year it has been! From switching to remote learning to creating brand new program pages, we’ve truly made it The Year of the Web. Check out our list of notable achievements, along with interesting facts and stats.

New Individual Profile template

This new template will work for five types of profiles that could be repurposed for different contexts across concordia.ca.

How to properly source digital photos

Need a photo for an online or digital project? Here’s how to find the perfect image to help make your work shine.

Adding and updating assets in the DAM

Learn how to replace an image on multiple pages at once, and stay on top of the best naming conventions.

Accessibility: Check your work!

You’ve added alt text to images, structured content with the right headings and ticked off everything else on the web accessibility checklist. All that’s left is to test your site for what you may have missed.   

Using the WAVE browser and Google Chrome extension tool can help you analyze your site for web accessibility gaps and features.

Understanding the types of navigation

There is more to navigation than the ‘grey bar’ that you see on every page on Concordia.ca: global navigation, breadcrumb trail, right side navigation, and other types of links help web visitors stay on course. We use seven types of navigation in AEM, and they all serve a special purpose.
