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).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n
