The service will not be offered to departments, centers, or other official units of the University. Additionally, we cannot provide profile pages for students.

Technical details:
- You’ll register a personalized sub-domain of https://create.fsu.edu/ (for example https://myproject.create.fsu.edu/). After this, you’ll have control over a web space that allows you to share an academic project, author a blog related to your research, build a research/creative portfolio, or curate a digital exhibit—to name just a few examples.
- You’ll have access to a number of open applications such as WordPress, Drupal, Omeka, Scalar, or Media Wiki.
- If you depart from FSU, you may choose to take your work with you and purchase your own domain.
How do I get started?
In order to create an account for you, the CreateFSU team will need some information on your project. If you do not already have an account, going to the Dashboard will bring you to an application request form (this requires login with your FSUID). After you’ve submitted the initial request, the team will get back to you with instructions for building your new site. To read more about our signup and onboarding process, see your Getting Started page.
