Where to Start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re not sure where to start in building (or redesigning) your website, you might want to take one of our content maintainer workshops<\/a>. They provide a gentle introduction to the site creation process and how to use the NC State Theme in WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This site also provides a wealth of information if you’d like to delve into the process at your own pace. The NC State Theme section is a good place to start, and the Enhance Your Site section<\/a> is a good place to learn some tricks to create effective webpages.<\/p>\n\n\n
