Required Elements
CU-Boulder's web identity includes a number of
required elements that must be included in all
official university web sites as they are redesigned.
The required elements are incorporated in the Design
Templates. The section Custom
Designs describes use of the required elements
for custom designed sites. For more information,
contact Web
Communications.
