eTech offers a variety of web support services, including homepage hosting, website creation, and online application development. All web services offered by eTech are free of charge to units within the College of Arts and Sciences:
Website Creation & Support
For academic, research, and service units of A&S, we create websites, blogs, and wikis. We tailor our services to each project based on an assessment of the unit’s needs, audience, and resources, and the condition of the unit’s existing website (if any).
After a website launches, we provide WordPress training to the personnel who’ll be maintaining it, and we’re always happy to answer questions or provide refresher training.
Academic Departments’ Websites
Websites for academic departments are produced by eTech staff according to a schedule established with the approval of the Dean’s Office. Learn more about our process for academic department websites.

eTech hosts and builds websites for many kinds of A&S units and projects, including
- academic programs such as interdisciplinary majors/minors/concentrations

- research projects, such as grant-funded projects
