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.

• • See "SiteViz Quick Reference by WAWG IT" for an overview of what to find where in SiteViz.

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.
