A standalone version of the UConn banner for quick implementation.

UConn Banner

A (UConn brand) standards-compliant implementation of the University's web banner.

History

As with most of our recent web branding efforts, University Communications has teamed with the UITS Web Dev Lab to create a new look for the University's web presence. While the majority of university departments and organizations can be brought into brand compliance through the use of the Aurora (WordPress) platform courtesy of UITS, there is still a need for static templates. This project attempts to bridge that gap.

Who should use this?

Anyone building a new *.uconn.edu website that won't be hosting on the Aurora platform.

How to use it:

There are a number of ways to use this code. Here are two:

1. Basic - You can download the latest zip file and use the assets in the "_site" directory to start building your website.
2. Advanced - Clone/download this repo and use Jekyll and Compass to build your entire website.
