The Communications department is home to a small group of web developers and web content specialists. The web team is responsible for developing and maintaining the College’s overall web presence. By providing strategic advice and guidance, building user-friendly web publishing tools, and offering training and support, the team enables offices and departments to share information and tell their stories through web sites that are current, dynamic and compelling.
The web team’s expertise is a resource meant to be shared by the whole Williams community. If you have a question or a comment about Williams websites, you may reach us by email at webteam@williams.edu
