New Users - Introduction

This tutorial is for users who want to create a new website using the approved University of Rhode Island web branding. By utilizing the new web branding (including its design and logos), departments, colleges, administrative offices, and other organizations associated with URI will be able to label themselves as an official member of the University.

The new URI templates may not be used for personal use, with student organization websites, or by any entities not associated with the University of Rhode Island.

If you have previously converted your website to the version used prior to the changed branding using Adobe Dreamweaver templating technology, it might be beneficial to use the tutorial for existing users to speed up the process of converting your website.
