Create a Website for your Organization

How to create your website:

Use some software such as; Microsoft Front Page, Microsoft Word, or Macromedia Dreamweaver. Another option is to learn HTML and code it yourself, in note pad or some other word processor. I reccomend using Macromedia Dreamweaver or Microsoft Frontpage.

How to Get Your Website up to the Internet:

  1. Create your site using the methods above, with any computer that has internet access.
  2. You need an account and password to post your website on the schools server. Go to this address http://www.wcupa.edu/infoservices/acc/iws/ to request a new account, or "change web maintainer" if you already have an account.
  3. Upload your site to the schools server.
    • If you are using Microsoft Front Page, or Macromedia Dreamweaver, You have it easy. All of these programs have built in programs to upload what you create to your website. Or, you can manually FTP though a command prompt like DOS (more difficult).
