Web hosting services are available for a variety of purposes.
The Psychology Department website is hosted jointly by Psychology and Life Sciences Computing. The site uses a content management system which allows several staff members the ability to update content on the site. To request access to edit the department website, please submit a helpdesk request.
WordPress
Department faculty members and lab groups may request websites in our WordPress environment. Our WordPress sites take advantage of UCLA Logon and campus web templates to simplify the administrative tasks of maintaining a website. Existing websites can be moved to WordPress or we can create new WordPress sites.
Lab Sites
In addition to the department site, faculty members may request web space for their own research labs in the “psych.ucla.edu” domain. Such web space is assigned to and managed by faculty members or their designated webmaster for the duration of their time at UCLA. Faculty members may submit a helpdesk request to discuss options for web space for their labs.
Web Editing Skills
Setting up the domain name and creating accounts with proper permissions will be done by our department web developer, but creation and day-to-day maintenance of lab websites is done by lab web editors. We recommend that web editors have the following skills and abilities:
- Some experience with HTML and CSS
- Ability to create links and do basic image editing for the web (crop, rotate, resize)
- Familiarity with file naming best practices
- Experience converting Office docs and other files to PDFs
BOL Web Hosting Service
Students, faculty, and staff members with valid UCLA Login IDs are also entitled to use the BOL web hosting service to create individual websites. Visit the IT Support Center for more information.
