Create a Website

What to do

Top Tips

Publish your changes

After making changes to the site, click the blue Publish button at the top right of the window to publish your changes for everyone. Otherwise, they remain saved as draft edits!

Keep it simple

Simple layout, simple content, easy to read and consume. Use built-in styles, organize pages, remove what isn't necessary. Less is more.

Check for missing files

Some pages on the old website had files attached. Check the old website for such files, move them to your department Shared Drive, share them, and embed or link to them from your new webpages. See more details.
