SmartTemplates

The LIDC has customized the software "Contribute" to make it a website editing platform specialized for Simon Fraser University. This combination of the software and it's customizations has been dubbed "Smart Templates."

The purpose of the Smart Templates is to aid in two distinct purposes: Greater ease in the development of new SFU websites that respect the look and feel project spear-headed my Media and PR; and to enable individuals without specialized training to keep departmental and smaller local websites up-to-date.

These two objectives will give websites across the university a professsional and common look and feel. The templates are varied, so that departments can modify them to their own needs, and are simple, so that users can easily add or edit content.
