Getting Started

The NC State Web Platform provides a robust platform for sites of all sizes and types.

Whether you are creating a simple site with information-dense pages or are building a high-level marketing site, the NC State Web Platform has the flexibility and blocks to make your site user-friendly (to both the site maintainer and the end user).

The platform is built using WordPress’s Gutenberg editor. Gutenberg allows you to build out pages on the back-end of your site in a more visual manner. What you see on the back-end is very similar to what you see on the front-end, so content population is easier and requires less guesswork.
