Welcome to the
GSD Site Builder

The GSD Site Builder is a WordPress platform that allows GSD faculty, staff, and student groups to create beautiful websites quickly, at low cost, and without needing a background in web development. Site administrators can create their own layouts using Gutenberg, a drag-and-drop editor that has been customized exclusively for the GSD. This site serves as your guide to the platform.

If you have questions about using GSD Site Builder, please contact [email protected].
