Personal Web Sites

There are many freely available options for setting up a personal web site at the University of Michigan:

Faculty Profiles

If you are an SPH Faculty member, you have your own faculty profile on the SPH web site. You can maintain your own faculty profile via the SPH Intranet .

IT Central Services

All UM staff, faculty and students have web space available to them free of charge through UM's Information Technology Central Services (ITCS). Information on creating a web site in this space is available on ITCS's Creating your personal Home Page on the U of M web servers page.

We recommend that you use Adobe Dreamweaver to develop and maintain your ITCS-hosted web site. We provide Dreamweaver training throughout the year.

We would be delighted to assist you in setting up your UM.SiteMaker site. More information on UM.SiteMaker can be found on our SiteMaker Support pages.
