Creating websites and web pages at KI

Choose the right solution

Depending on the type of activity, there are three ways to publish content:

1. Within ki.se – when the content is part of KI
2. Collaborations with others – when KI is not the main sender and a neutral website is required
3. Blog – when the format consists of ongoing posts and updates (WordPress)

Within ki.se (activities carried out at KI)

If the content is part of KI – for example within research, education or administration – it should be published within ki.se, which also includes education.ki.se, staff.ki.se and news.ki.se.

The setup can be a single page if the content is limited, or a landing page if you need to collect more extensive material with several sections and subpages.

For certain types of content, ready‑made page templates are available, such as:

• Research groups
• Programme pages
• Course pages
• Course and programme websites for existing students
• Recruitment of study participants

Why ki.se?

When information is published on ki.se, it becomes easier for KI’s target audience to find and use. It also makes KI clearly identifiable as the sender, which increases recognition and credibility.

In addition:

• ki.se has high visibility in search engines and support for structured data, which benefits search and AI services
• The platform has continuous management, development and operations
• Editorial support helps editors publish correctly
• Legal requirements related to the web are met

Domain name

The domain name will always follow the structure (xxx).ki.se/area/abc. If needed, you can also get a short URL, for example ki.se/xxx, that redirects to the page.

Roles and responsibilities

The publishing system used for ki.se (Drupal) is managed, developed and operated within KI. Each department also has a main web editor who is responsible for content and editors.

There are already many editors working in ki.se. Often there are existing editors at your department or unit, and if needed, additional editors can be trained.

Getting started

Do you need a page on ki.se? Start by contacting the main editor at your department.

Examples

• Example of a page (in Swedish)
• Landing page example (in Swedish)
• Page type Group page with some information fetched from KI RIMS.

Collaborations with others (neutral website)

If KI is not the main sender and the website needs a neutral design, other solutions are available. This may apply to EU projects, centres, or networks where KI is one of several partners.

The Communications Office offers KI employees access to a Drupal installation called Webbfabriken (the Web Factory). Within this setup, collaboration websites can be created using a basic configuration and template, which can then be further developed together with KI’s web agency if needed.

The work is carried out under KI’s framework agreement, with a separate sub‑agreement between you (the client) and the agency. The sub‑agreement defines the setup, scope and costs.

• The web agency supports ongoing development and management
• You or the organisation you represent own the website and are responsible for its costs, including domain, hosting, setup and maintenance

Blog (WordPress)

The Communications Office provides WordPress as KI’s blogging platform. It is used, for example, for student blogs.
