- On-going access to the latest version of the UBC CLF WordPress Theme
- An initial website set up with the top-level pages/sections of your site structure
- Access to on-going help clinics
- Online documentation and support materials
- SSL Certificates (automatic service after domain mapping put in place)
What’s not included

- Custom design beyond what’s available within the existing UBC CLF WordPress Theme
- Web content maintenance and updates

Important Notice
When using CMS, do not store/collect any sensitive information. Sensitive information includes student numbers, CWL information, and private personal information. Furthermore, please don’t use CMS for mission-critical information; even though we keep database backups, data loss still might occur.
