Website Creation and Tools

Site Creation Tools

No HTML/web coding needed

• WordPress:  LTS partners with CampusPress to provide access to WordPress for faculty, staff and students at wordpress.lehigh.edu for code-free website creation. Use this secure, LTS-managed WordPress site for personal blogs, projects, CVs, and also for group collaborations. 

• Google Sites:  Lehigh's G Suite subscription includes Google Sites, a quick, code-free tool for building websites from templates. 

• Confluence:  Atlassian's Corporate-grade Wiki, in which this Knowledge Base is constructed.

Not sure which web creation tool to use? WordPress is more dynamic, sophisticated and offers more advanced tools than Google Sites.  Recommended use for Google sites is more static and simplistic content without need to add a lot of up to date customization.  However, Google sites is easier to get started with and integrates google drive content in the design.

Confluence has been used by Lehigh Faculty as an Electronic Notebook for research work.
