FAA's Web Content Management System (CMS)
In fiscal year 2014, we migrated to a content management system (CMS) for the MyFAA website. This CMS simplified adding and updating content, improved function, and modernized our web program.
By the end of 2015, we will migrate to a CMS for FAA.gov. We will use this page to announce updates and resources as we prepare for the migration. Contact us if you have any questions.
FAA.gov Migration Resources
We are coordinating with the FAA web liaisons to send out information and get feedback during the various phases of this project. The following resources will be helpful in reviewing content and understanding the monumental effort in updating FAA.gov:
- Update to FAA.gov page(s) — Use this quick report form each time you create, delete, or move a page or sections on FAA.gov.
- FAA.gov site map (PDF) — As-is inventory of site's content navigation
- Web content review checklist (PDF) — a guide about how to remove redundant and outdated web content
- Old pages (MS Excel) — a spreadsheet of webpages not updated since 2006-2012
- Information architecture presentation (November 19, 2014) (PDF) — a presentation about FAA.gov's current IA and its challenges
Things to Know
- FAA.gov will keep its website address (www.faa.gov).
- If you have saved bookmarks or shortcuts, you may need to update them because we will be reorganizing some information in new categories. We will keep you updated about this process.
- Some FAA content and web applications, such as FAA TV, will migrate at a later date. So, users may go back and forth between sites.
