UA Web Templates
Web templates based on the look and feel of the current UA Home Page are available for usage by any official unit of The University of Alabama. The templates are organized into categories for each type of group on campus in order to offer a greater level of consistency across UA web sites and to simplify template selection for designers.
All of the templates are fully-validated XHTML 1.0 Transitional with tableless CSS layout, and the downloadable template packages include all HTML, CSS, original images, and any other files needed to customize the templates to your needs. Each template package consists of at least two options for top level content, along with templates for second and third level pages.
The templates are flexible and are easily customized to the needs of your division, college, department, or other group by any web designer who has an understanding of HTML, CSS layout and basic image editing software. The templates are optimized for use with Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 or above.
PLEASE NOTE: These templates are ONLY authorized for use by official University of Alabama web sites, and any other usage of the code or images contained within these packages is in violation of the University's Copyright Policy.
If you have any further questions about the use or customization of these templates, please contact Andy Rainey at arainey@ur.ua.edu.
