Web Services Publishing pictureCampus WCMS 

The Campus WCMS is a no-cost, browser-based website editing tool that lets departments focus on content rather than on technology and site design. No technical experience is necessary and the campus design templates are built-in. Websites managed by the Campus WCMS enjoy high availability and high priority incident response.

Faculty and Research Web Services

Faculty, graduate students, and research staff can use WordPress to create websites to highlight professional, research, and other scholarly activities.

WordPress is a website management system that allows you to create websites with very little technical or design expertise. It comes with design templates, a relatively easy-to-learn editing environment, and a host of tools to make your website look fantastic.
