What will OIT do? And what will I be responsible for?

OIT will provide the following:

• We maintain the WordPress content management software, including all software updates and version upgrades.
• We create and provide CAES- and Extension-branded website themes, which have robust search, social sharing buttons, author biography pages, and more.
• We help with initial website set up, including site migration, if needed.
