University Communications

Websites and Digital Solutions

The Office of University Communications provides leadership and expertise for Brown’s central web and digital communication initiatives. We partner with departments across campus to develop effective strategies and solutions for websites and digital communications.

Our work centers on creating strong user experiences through content strategy, accessible design and code, and cohesive digital storytelling. In addition to our role in shaping Brown’s digital strategy, we provide the support and practical resources that make it possible—offering consultation, digital platforms and tools, training, and guidance that strengthen and unify Brown’s digital presence.

In partnership with other offices, OUC provides and maintains a suite of University-specific digital platforms to support diverse communication needs. Our investment in these core tools gives members of our campus community flexible, accessible, and reliable solutions for connecting with their audiences.
OUC supports Brown’s web presence through a range of services including web and content strategy guidance, policy consultation, information architecture, site building, accessibility recommendations, and analytics support.
Brown’s web presence is sustained by a community of hundreds of web content editors across the University, and we appreciate their commitment. OUC supports these editors by providing a central hub of resources, general help and support, and guidance on policy, accessibility and best practices.
Web accessibility involves creating sites and content that everyone can understand and use, including people with disabilities. This is vital for ensuring equal access to information and complying with relevant laws and policies.
