Choose an application for creating your faculty website

Two software options are available to those who wish to develop a faculty website.
Both applications are easy to use and require no knowledge of html or web programming.
The following examples may help you decide which option is best for you.
If you have further questions or would like to request a website contact Mike Childress, mchildress@ewu.edu

Documentation for both applications can be found on our Wiki: https://wiki.ewu.edu/webdev/Main_Page
