Timeline

CURRENT STATUS: limited beta rollout

We are working with initial campus partners on a small number of beta sites on the Berkeley Web Builder platform.

Estimated timeline (subject to change)

  • July 2025: Berkeley Web Builder site launch
  • Fall 2025: Limited beta group rollout
  • Winter 2025-26: Early adopter rollout for new sites
  • 2026: General availability for new sites and initial migrations

Beta and early adopter rollout

  • Online guides/documentation on how to use the new platform will be added to the website and training sessions will be provided to early adopters.
  • Early adopters may rebuild existing Open Berkeley sites or build new sites.
  • Open Berkeley campus teams who wish to migrate may begin to prepare for future migration.
  • Web Platform Services will continue to determine the programmatic migration processes.

Programmatic site migrations begin after beta and early adoption phases

  • Campus teams should complete any pre-migration tasks.
  • Additional training sessions will be provided.
  • Web Platform Services will finalize migration processes.
  • Initial site migrations will begin.
