Body
For colleges, units and departments at the University of Georgia looking for a Content Management System (CMS), EITS offers Centralized WordPress Hosting.
WordPress is among the world’s most popular website creation platforms. It allows clients without any coding experience to manage their website, create and update pages, and add or change access for other users. WordPress also features easy to use editing tools for content creators and offers extendable functionality through the use of approved plug-ins.
Who can use Centralized WordPress Hosting?
Centralized WordPress is available to qualifying UGA colleges, units and departments. Clients pay necessary costs via passthrough billing to Kaptiv8 Marketing, who maintains access and manages hosting of your WordPress website via WPEngine. EITS provides on-going training and support for users and administrators at no additional cost.
How do I get started with Centralized WordPress Hosting?
Interested UGA colleges, units and departments may learn more about Centralized WordPress and what EITS offers by contacting Robert Ethier in EITS at rethier@uga.edu . The EITS Website Services team is available to learn about your unit’s needs and provide an overview of Centralized WordPress.
Templates and Training Resources
EITS has developed website templates to expedite the migration of content into the CMS. These templates address accessibility concerns, feature responsive design, and adhere to UGA brand guidelines. These templates are available for use by colleges, units, and departments using Centralized WordPress Hosting.
EITS has also developed corresponding training guides that address the creation of content and the use of features that are unique to each template. These guides serve as a compliment to EITS led training and supervision of an Omni site setup.
EITS will keep an updated list of sample sites that are currently maintained via Centralized WordPress Hosting. In many case, these sites and their content will have been migrated from an existing content management system into WordPress by the users and administrators of those departments.
