What is Brightspot?

Simple, free web hosting and content management

Brightspot is a campus website management and hosting service meant to improve and simplify campus web publishing. It provides cloud hosting, security, round-the-clock monitoring, and ADA-compliant accessible design templates.

Who can use Brightspot?

Most BYU campus units are allowed to create and manage Brightspot sites. A site needs a full-time employee as a sponsor, but student employees may run it. Department-sponsored academic associations may have Brightspot sites, but other student clubs are usually excluded.
