Try Site Builder

Explore Site Builder in the WCMS before requesting your own site

Request sandbox access

If you're an existing WCMS user, you should already have access to the sandbox site. If you're not able to access the sandbox, contact WebHelp.

Site Builder sandbox

You do not need to request a site to begin exploring Site Builder.

A demo site is available in the WCMS where you can:

  • Explore different page layouts
  • Add and arrange content components
  • Practice building pages in a low-risk environment

Accessing the sandbox

  1. Log into builder.wcms.iu.edu
  2. Open the SITE: picker at the top-left corner of the screen
  3. Choose IU-BUILDER.sandbox

Important limitations

  • The sandbox site is for learning and experimentation only
  • You cannot publish pages from the sandbox
  • You cannot test custom code or third-party integrations in the sandbox
  • The sandbox is reset every morning and all content is removed
  • The sandbox should not be used to create content you plan to keep

Request your own site

Once you’re comfortable with Site Builder, you can request your own site to start building real content.
