The Department Web Framework is a free service provided by the UW College of Arts & Sciences Marketing & Communications team. We design, build, and host websites for the College's departments, so they can focus on their content and communication strategies.
There are currently 33 departments using the framework service. It is available to academic departments in all four divisions: Arts, Humanities, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences. If your department is interested in joining, contact Shane Fricks. What if I'm not eligible?
We've got lots of tutorials and background information in our documentation and help section.
For notices of system downtime, upgrades, new features, and workshops, join the asweb-users mailing list.
Not all units are eligible for the framework. Learn more about Arts & Sciences web services at the College's Marketing site.
The Department of Geography is the latest unit to join the Department Web Framework. See their new site at https://geography.washington.edu

Our autumn quarter Department Web Framework users meeting will be on Tuesday, December 1, from 1-2:00pm in Communications Building 126.
As a reminder for those that are new to the asweb-users list, the Department Web Framework Users Group consists of faculty, staff, and students who manage content on department websites supported by the Arts & Sciences web team. We hold these meetings quarterly to share ideas and best practices, encourage communication between departments, and gather feedback about our website service.
