Q: Can you add my content to my website?
A: No. Our approach is to empower you to manage your content, eliminating the delays and other challenges of requesting updates through a third party. Initial website setup includes working with our experts to establish the basic site and page layouts and training on updating and managing your content.
Q: Can I request a plugin on my website?
A: If your site needs additional functionality, SoN IT can consult with you on available options. Any proposed plugin is reviewed for security, supportability, fit, compatibility with the School’s WordPress environment, and governance requirements.
