Template guidelines

Click areas of the image for specific information about each template component.

One purpose of the template system is to have all sites resemble one another in look and feel and be similarly structured. To help facilitate this process, the YSM Office of Institutional Planning & Communications has created a series of guidelines that must be followed when using the template in your organization’s website.

Please remember that once you have agreed to use the template for your website, you may not alter the fundamentals of the design and navigation. If you have concerns that something in the template does not work for your needs, please contact ITS-WS (Kimberly Pasko) or YSM-IPC (Lena Parker or Justin Fansler) so that we can resolve the issue.
