University Web Templates
View the templates
The templates are a set of pages with a consistent look developed to promote the professional image of the university, ensure quality design, adhere to Web Guidelines and build efficiency into the process of creating and maintaining pages. All administrative departments are strongly encouraged to use the templates.
The templates are designed from a set of colors chosen to blend together in certain combinations. Many of the colors represent the blue and gold colors of the university and other color choices are also provided for variety. The goal is to create a family of Web pages that have a similar look while allowing different personalities for individual sites.
