Polimi CdS Sites Documentation

A guided WordPress system for building and managing Polimi course websites.

This documentation covers the Polimi WordPress system used to build course websites.

The website is built from WordPress, the theme, and the plugin working together.
WordPress
Website

It includes two parts that are designed to work together:

  • polimi-cds-theme
    Provides the site structure, templates, navigation, branding, and overall layout.

  • polimi-plugin
    Adds the Gutenberg blocks and editor tools used to create and manage content.


The Polimi Course Website template was designed and developed by Giovanni Malausa. Dedicated support is available for setup, editor training, and custom development.

This system is designed to provide editors and administrators with a structured approach to creating and managing content, using predefined blocks and approved layout patterns. Some block types are intended for specific page types, and some layouts are deliberately constrained to maintain consistency across websites.

This is intended to keep all websites aligned with the Polimi design system.

If something feels restricted or unavailable, that is often intentional.
