Welcome to your new UCI Site! This guide is designed to help you get started with setting up and managing your website effectively. Below, you’ll find links to detailed guides on various topics to ensure your site meets UCI standards and is optimized for visibility and collaboration.
CampusPress Flex Theme
We have configured the CampusPress Flex theme to reflect current UCI branding guidelines. This theme is accessibility-ready with many customizations available. If you choose another theme, remember to conform to the UCI Brand and Visual Identity Standards that are part of the UCI Web Policy you agreed to follow when requesting your site.
How to make your site searchable by Google
By default, new websites hosted on UCI Sites block search engines from indexing the content. This is to give you time to set up your site and add your content. When you are ready for Google and other search engines to find your site, you can update your Site Visibility settings.
Extend your site with Plugins
You cannot install new plugins to UCI Sites, but you can enable any of the 60+ available plugins that have already been installed by CampusPress. These plugins have been curated for use in higher ed and gone through extensive code review for security and compatibility.
How to add a new user
Collaboration is key to a successful website. You can add anyone with an active UCInetID to help you on the website. Here’s how you can add new users to your UCI Site:
