Ready to get started with your site, but not sure where to begin? The WashU Web Theme guides and tutorials are a great place to start. However, you’re not in this alone!
Training is a great way to learn more about the WashU Web Theme, get personalized help with your site or connect with your support experts and other users. We recommend setting aside one full work day (or seven hours spread across multiple days) to get up to speed – three hours for our introductory and advanced trainings plus four hours to try putting what you’ve learned into practice.
We offer several remote learning options for training in the WashU Web Theme:
Training videos
Learn remotely and at your own pace with our training videos, created for admins who are:
New to WordPress or the WashU Web Theme
Setting up your site
Topics include:
- Page editing and formatting
- Adding images and other media
- Understanding site architecture
- Building and editing menus
Experienced and ready to level up
Advanced Training
Topics include:
- Creating events and calendars
- Adding directories and filterable lists
- Creating reusable blocks
- Setting up web forms
Group training sessions (Zoom)
We offer virtual group training sessions for those who learn best with live instruction.
Zoom training sessions are available for admins of websites created through WashU Sites.
One-on-one remote support
While we hope that everyone will take advantage of our online Guides & Tutorials, training videos and group training sessions, we realize there are some cases when a one-on-one session makes more sense, such as:
- You have one or more very specific questions about your site.
- You tend to learn better in a one-on-one setting.
To request a one-on-one support, please email us at sites@wustl.edu.
