SiteViz Reference
What is SiteViz
In short, SiteViz is an external website hosting platform that provides a structured, fill-in-the-blank template approach to building websites. The CAP national website uses it and National has provided a nearly identical template for all subordinate websites. The site homepage is rigidly structured and limited information may be inserted in defined areas via text fields and dropdown selection boxes. However, individual pages within the site are designed freeform using a visual editor.
How to use SiteViz
Website administrators should review one or more of the following resources.

Troubleshooting
Cannot submit a website request
If you follow NHQ's instructions for requesting a website and see information already in the form, no Submit button, and only a Clear All button, you already have a website with the domain (URL) shown.
Need a SiteViz user account
If you or someone in your squadron needs a user account on SiteViz, contact the WAWG IT project officer with the person's name. Their membership will be validated and an account created.
Add a Google Calendar to a SiteViz page
See Google's help topic on embedding a calendar in a website.
