Need a new website? What about a weADAPT microsite?
If you need some inspiration to setup your own website for a project or network, please check out some of our microsites to see what's possible. Some examples are the Water Adaptation Community; Adaptation without Borders; Adaptation at Altitude; and, the Adaptation Learning Network.
These weADAPT microsites are fully branded, cost-effective websites that use weADAPT technology and stay connected to the weADAPT community and its content!
Find out more and let us know if you need one here.
Happy exploring!
