Welcome to the Plone support area of the Web Centre. Here you'll find guides and resources that will enable you to use Plone to provide a web presence for your academic department, research project site or corporate service.

If you're new to Plone or just need a refresher then we recommend you get some Web training before you continue.

This area of the Web Centre is arranged in four parts to represent the cyclical stages that underpin the creation of content managed websites:

• Plan it  - Things to consider before you start work on your website.
• Build it   - User guides covering all major elements of Plone.
• Design it  - Getting the most from your site's visual design.
• Maintain it  - Advice about the ongoing maintenance of sites.

We also provide the following additional Plone information for users:

• What is Plone?
• Known issues
• Fine tuning Plone
