WordPress help & support

WordPress is the content management system for Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering websites. With WordPress, website owners and administrators can update content without having to code. You can request a website or support services by emailing webmaster@eng.ufl.edu. Please note that website owners are generally responsible for creating and updating their own content.
