WordPress

WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that allows simple in-browser set-up and updating of websites. WordPress is an open-source project and its core is contributed to by hundreds of community volunteers. The convenience and flexibility of WordPress has made it one of the most popular solutions on the internet for building websites.

The Office of Information Technology provides WordPress hosting options for the campus community in the Web Publishing environment. These services allow NC State users to quickly and easily create websites for a multitude of needs. These services also offers plugins to facilitate the use of university calendars, displaying events, tables, analytics and university authentication tools.  Please see the Web Publishing site for more information on service options.
