Custom templates include more advanced features, layouts and styles than a Standard template. Custom templates include a list of pre-built "components" or "widgets" that help solve specific User Experience (UX) problems or tasks. Custom templates are scalable, and each component is strategically designed to promote consistent, recognizable experiences throughout the CMU website.
How do I get a custom template on my site?
In order to fully understand the functionality and purpose of each component, it's important to work directly with the Marketing Office web team so we can assist you with choosing components for your unique needs. Working with contributors one-on-one enables our team to continually improve Custom components and add new components as needed.
Do you need assistance solving a user experience problem? Are you noticing that your current content is difficult to navigate and understand? Do you need a custom-built component that is unique to your website? These are situations in which a Custom template can be beneficial.
