The Power of WordPress

WordPress offers a complete content management solution

WordPress powers over 50% of the top million sites on the web, including a multitude of higher education websites. As a Content Management System (CMS), it handles all of the unique challenges of higher ed institutions with grace and ease.

  • Easy to Use – A familiar administrative interface reduces training overhead while onboarding new users, increasing the rate of system-wide adoption throughout your institution.
  • Scalable – A well built, quality hosted WordPress site can gracefully handle everything you throw at it, including massive amounts of content, users, and traffic.
  • Accessible – Thanks to the ongoing work of the core compliance team, WordPress provides a phenomenal foundation to build a 508 compliant project.
  • Secure – WordPress core is a solid, secure platform trusted by many. The core team provides dedicated monitoring to ensure rapid response to security threats.
  • Built-In User Management – Customized user roles and capabilities allow you to easily manage access to your digital platform the same way you do for the rest of your organization.
  • Multisite – Need to run more than a single website? No problem. WordPress makes it possible to launch entire networks off a single install.
