Overview
The UW Sites Network provides a web publishing service for UW faculty, staff and students. It uses the open-source WordPress application. Features include:
- Easy to get a site up and running within minutes.
- Sites have a default UW theme and branding.
- The service is administered by UW-IT so site owners don’t have to deal with installation.
- Ability to administer site by logging in with your NetID: no need to remember a new password.
By visiting the UW Sites Network Home you can view sites on the network as well as explore the documentation.
