Goodbye, old site

The main site of our managed WordPress platform has not had a major redesign since September 2011, when we moved all sites from Movable Type to WordPress.

The new site uses a child theme of the Twenty Twenty theme by Automattic, with some minor Princeton customizations.

We used the full-width template for most pages and simple blocks like cover, columns, paragraphs, and headings.

Principal photography is by Michael Muzzie, who carried a backpack full of stuffed Wapuus (WordPress mascots) around the Princeton University campus on a beautiful October day in 2020.

Looking back, below are three screenshots from previous versions of this site.
