You can be up and running in a matter of days – here’s how the process works:
- First, check your eligibility.
Some units and departments would like you to contact them, to ensure a coordinated digital presence.
- Request a site and get approved.
This can take up to 3 business days, as each request is individually reviewed.
- Plan your site.
This is the hard part! Building and maintaining a website takes both initial and ongoing effort, and goes a whole lot smoother when you plan it out in advance. Make sure to allocate time to:
-
-
- Define your site goals
- Recruit an editorial team
- Plan your content
- Develop a timeline for completing the site
-
- Build and publish your site.
WordPress is one of the easiest web publishing systems around, and your site will come pre-loaded with information and tips on best practices to help you get going. You can also use our Get Help page whenever you need it.
- Don’t forget about maintenance!
Websites require a lot of care and feeding to be successful and help you meet your goals. Make sure you’ve addressed ongoing updates and reviews as part of a regular process, so that your new website thrives.
