Book_mockup_Universities@2x

WordPress is the world’s most popular CMS, powering over 43% of all websites, including a growing number of university and educational portals. Its flexibility makes it a natural choice, but operating it within the complex environment of higher education requires a tailored approach.

This white paper explores how WordPress can be deployed effectively in universities and educational establishments, and shares best practices for managing complex academic websites today.

READ THE WHITE PAPER

We felt that the WordPress industry, in general, was disparate in terms of the quality, infrastructure and services it provided and that’s what we wanted to change. How? With standards-driven engineering, transparency and enterprise infrastructure built from scratch by IT veterans.
