In today’s digital landscape, a strong online presence is essential for research visibility, collaboration, and impact. Webpublish (or “WP3”) is Queen’s free, web-based content management system (CMS) for creating professional, secure, and accessible websites under the queensu.ca domain. This centrally managed platform ensures compliance with university brand standards, accessibility requirements, and web security best practices.

In this session, Robin Moon, Digital User Experience Manager (University Relations) introduced the Webpublish system and demonstrated how it can be used to create effective websites for labs, research projects, academic profiles, and events. Attendees gained practical strategies for writing and structuring content that is user-friendly, engaging, and accessible. This will help their research stand out to academic, student, and public audiences.

Key learning outcomes:

• Understand the features, functionality, and benefits of the Webpublish system.
• Apply best practices for writing, structuring, and presenting research content online.
• Build accessible, user-friendly websites that align with Queen’s brand and accessibility standards.
