Thank you to all the site editors who participated in this important process of selecting a migration option. The form is now closed and your choice can no longer be edited. For those who chose not to submit a form, your site's page contents will automatically migrate to the new designs using Option 1.
Please do not email WebHelp or any other Institutional Marketing team member about changing your migration option. We will not respond to these requests.
Design Migration Resources
As part of UW’s website design upgrade, site editors were able to choose between two migration options to transition their pages into the new system. Each option offers a different level of flexibility and effort, allowing you to choose what works best for your site and team.
This option is best for site editors who prefer a faster, lower-effort transition.
