Our team was very busy this summer and we have a bunch of updates for you as the first week of classes begins. Topics covered in this message:
We've just posted some more detailed info about the Theme Templates and Color Schemes used on Department Web Framework sites. If your department is moving into the framework this year, you might want to have a look and start exploring your options. We may add a few more color schemes if design needs demand them.
The theme that defines the appearance of the department websites has been rewritten as a responsive design. This means that the design adjusts according to the width of the screen that the person is using, so the site offers optimal readability on everything from smart phones to tablets to desktop monitors. We were mobile-friendly before, but now we're even mobile-friendlier! All department sites moving forward will feature responsive designs.
Check out the responsive theme on your favorite device (and feedback is always welcome):
