This is an account of a library project undertaken by the web team at Waterford Institute of Technology Libraries in Summer 2005. The project involved the redeployment and re-design of the library web site on web content management software. The sets out the context for the project, first by explaining what a content management system is and does and second, by outlining prevailing trends in the wider world towards both standards-compliant code and web accessibility/usability. This paper shows how a content management system can help a library to reach the goals of good accessibility and web standards compliance.
