Welcome to Simple Sites
Simple Sites is a free managed WordPress hosting environment pre-loaded with UC San Diego-branded templates that conform to accessibility standards. WordPress is a user-friendly content management system for creating blogs and small websites. You don’t need to be a web designer to use it.
Who Simple Sites is For

Simple is in the Name
We merge disciplines and surpass expectations, empowering students to think creatively across boundaries, resulting in unimagined discoveries.
How it Works
Workplace Technology Services (part of ITS at UC San Diego) has contracted with third-party vendor CampusPress to host and support Simple Sites.
While Simple Sites is built on WordPress, the available options are curated by CampusPress and Workplace Technology Services to support UC San Diego branding, accessibility, and security requirements.
When you request a new site, you’ll be given a three page starter site which you can then edit to fit your needs.
CampusPress will provide technical support and documentation.
