WCMS sites and templates

WCMS sites and templates use a mobile-first approach to responsive design providing site visitors with an optimal viewing experience; whether browsing from a desktop, tablet or smartphone device, site content is clean, simple, and easy to navigate.

WCMS responsive sites

The WCMS supports websites for use by academic and academic support departments of the University.

See the guidelines for use and how-to documents.


Publications

WCMS Publications is a mobile-friendly, responsive template specifically designed for digital versions of University of Waterloo publications including newsletters, reports and magazines.

Publication websites are built using Drupal (WCMS), and while they look quite different, the content maintainer interface is similar to regular WCMS websites. 

See the guidelines for use and how-to documents.


Single page sites

A WCMS responsive template to support a marketing initiative or campaign, highlight initiatives, or be used for program promotion. Single page sites do not have a menu structure and are not meant to replace full WCMS sites.

See the guidelines for use and how-to documents.


Conference sites

This responsive template allows conference attendees to quickly and easily check everything from event locations and speakers to session times and descriptions across multiple devices.

See the guidelines for use and how-to documents.
