Step 1: Site Spin-up
Site Approval
Approximate time to complete: 1-5 day(s)
After a new website is requested through the Help Desk, a workflow is triggered within the Office of Information Technology. During this preliminary process, the site URL is validated and any conflicts or necessary approvals are resolved.
Site Creation and Configuration
Approximate time to complete: 1 day
After the site is approved, the WordPress Support team creates the new website and configures it for the site admin. This includes setting up necessary plugins, removing unnecessary bloat, standardizing site settings, and ensuring requested users have access. After the site has been approved, created, and configured, the original requestor receives a welcome email from WordPress Support that includes information on how to access the new site, as well as resources on how to use WordPress and how the process works.
