Creating Personal Websites for Students, Faculty and Staff

SHARE

In Spring 2023, Enterprise Technology & Services (ET&S) added new personal campus website options across the ×î¿ì¿ª½±Ö±²¥½ÁÖé½á¹û (×î¿ì¿ª½±Ö±²¥½ÁÖé½á¹û). The new options will replace similar services at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) and Keene State College (KSC). UNH’s myPages, built on Drupal 7 and will be end-of-life in January 2025, will be retired this fall. KSC’s Domain of One’s Own will be migrated into the new ×î¿ì¿ª½±Ö±²¥½ÁÖé½á¹û Domains and personal websites at Plymouth State University (PSU) will be rolled into the new system in a phased approach over the next few years. Overall, this project results in hosting and maintenance cost savings for ×î¿ì¿ª½±Ö±²¥½ÁÖé½á¹û.

Personal ×î¿ì¿ª½±Ö±²¥½ÁÖé½á¹û websites can be used for content that does not fit into the main campus marketing sites (such as research labs or personal faculty sites) and are accessible to ×î¿ì¿ª½±Ö±²¥½ÁÖé½á¹û students and employees. The new simple site options allow users without extensive technical experience to build a website quickly.

Here are the following website options, along with features and descriptions for each:

    • WordPress site in a shared multi-site hosting environment.
    • Customizable themes available for each campus: KSC-branded, PSU-branded, UNH-branded, or ×î¿ì¿ª½±Ö±²¥½ÁÖé½á¹û-branded.
