Create a WordPress site shell

This module will guide you through the steps needed to create a basic research site “shell” that you can iterate upon as your research project progresses. Before you begin the training, be sure to have a sense of your site structures – your pages and key messages – even if you don’t yet have a brand in mind for your project just yet.

By following the steps presented in each video, you’ll have a solid base that you’ll be able to expand on come the year end show. Of particular importance: if you follow our workflow, you’ll have an expandable site you won’t be locked into any particular features.

As always, email Jacob if there’s any extra WordPress features that you think would be helpful to all CMN 480 students!
