Web Assistance

We work with faculty and staff across the university to keep our sites current, giving faculty and staff agency over their webpages. This allows their diverse expertise to drive our web content. 

Our websites (rwu.edu and law.rwu.edu) are the digital front doors of Roger Williams University. They communicate who we are and what we do to thousands of worldwide users every day. It is our job to build our websites to foster a user experience that is accessible, clear, on-brand, accurate, and effective.
