Do you need to build a website for a department, project, course or yourself? We offer Google Sites and WordPress. Read on to find out which tool to use and where to locate help resources for each one.
Note: Moodle, as the college’s Learning Management System (LMS), is the appropriate platform for most course materials. More information about Moodle.
Google Sites is the appropriate home for many people with a small or moderate amount of content to display on their web site.
A Google Site created with your MHC account will have a web address of the following style: sites.google.com/mtholyoke.edu/[your site name here]
The Mount Holyoke community can build sites on the Commons, our WordPress instance. WordPress is a more complex tool than Google Sites. It offers additional features for categorizing and displaying your web content. We recommend the use of WordPress (by the creation of a site on the Commons) for people who are willing to invest some more time learning the ins and outs of the tool, or who are already familiar with WordPress.
A WordPress site created on the Commons will have a web address of the following style: commons.mtholyoke.edu/[your site name here]
