Web Services

Web Services uses third party tools to make some things easier to manage on our website. One of the best examples is our events management tools. This tool allows us to use a secure website where users can freely submit events for review and then finally posted on our website. This makes it more efficient to manage events and doesn't keep the web team busy creating custom tools or pages for each event at Valencia College. There are more examples of the third party tools we use below. If you have any questions or suggestions, we want to hear from you. Please send us a note anytime using our contact form linked in the menu above.

Event CMS (Localist)

Maps CMS (Campus Bird)

Search (Google Custom Search)
