Setting up a New Website on the UW Web Servers

Pediatrics students, staff, and faculty can set up sites on the UW web servers.  See UW-IT's Getting Started With Web Publishing at the UW. 

To use a UW Wordpress site:

  1. Request a supplemental account from UW-IT.  Note that the account name will be part of your new website's URL, so choose appropriately.
  2. While logged in with your new shared netid, go to Manage UW NetID Resources and activate web services.  
  3. Build the site.  Find UW-IT instructions and support. UW-IT's Wordpress setup makes it very easy to select a UW theme that follows brand guidelines.
  4. Once set up, send the URL to pedweb@uw.edu for our records, and let us know if you’d like your new site linked to from the Department website.
