Customize look and layout of your pages

SimpleSite's flexible templates allow you to create nice looking, usable pages quickly. Easily customize the layout of each page, and select a color scheme for your site, or create your own individual look.

Let others work on your site

Give others permission to edit your Web site. Specify a TA to create and edit pages for your course Web site, or collaborate on a Web site with colleagues in your department.

Include images or multimedia

Create an image gallery or link to video or audio files.

Quickly upload files

With a few clicks you can upload documents and images to your Web site, and then create links to them.

Secure your pages

Without having to learn complicated coding, secure areas of your Web site with a password or UW NetID login.

Easily create consistent navigation

Create global navigation for your Web site, and use it on all pages. If a page is added or deleted, you can just modify the global navigation once, rather than update every page.

Do it all for free

Just log-in with your UW NetID and you are ready to go.

Frequently Asked Questions
I changed and saved my pages but, when I look at my Web site, nothing has changed. How do I make the changes visible?

Your browser is caching (or saving copies of) the pages you visit. To find out how to turn off caching or clear the cached pages, consult your Web browser's help menu.

How do I create another Web site?

While you can create folders to organize your site into several "sites", you might want to request an additional account. For more information, consult UW Technology's supplemental account page.

I have recently been granted a supplemental account, but I do not see this account in the list of available Web sites. Where is it?

SimpleSite might not be aware yet of your new Web site. On the SimpleSite home page, click "Update my Web Site List" to refresh the list.
