A quick start guide for the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary WOW II Pushbutton Website Platform, showing how to create and publish a unit website.
The guide walks users through logging into the WOW II system, configuring a site, adding built‑in menu items such as Public Boating Courses, and saving the menu. After the basic pages are created, the site must be enabled for public view, which requires board approval before clicking the "Enable Site" button.
It also describes the process for obtaining national approval, including checking the IT Department’s website checklist and submitting a formal request with contact details and the site URL. Additional resources such as the full User Manual, PowerPoint presentations, and conversion guides are listed for further assistance.
Log into the WOW system, click the "Configure" button, add a new menu item such as Public Boating Courses, and save the menu to generate the basic site pages.
After board approval, return to the WOW Dashboard and click "Enable Site" in the left menu, then log out and review the public address.
Check the site against the IT Department’s Website Quick Checklist and submit a formal request with the board approval date, contact information, and site URL to your DSO‑CS.
