The Core offers an efficient and cost effective solution for departments looking to update their web sites with access to the complete library set of templates and components used in other large University sites such as the BSD and The College. Built around a workshop process, IfThen will help you map the content for your site into a site map, choose the right templates and components to use from a library of over 30 templates and 50 components, and build a launch board that details all the pages of the new site and how they map to your existing content.

• Rapid deployment in weeks
• Access to entire library of templates and components using existing styling
• Ability to create custom templates using CMS
• Workshop approach to content mapping and training
• Bulk content migration support
• Access to training video library
• On-going support option
• Components and templates to adhere to current website accessibility standards ((WCAG) 2.1, Level AA.) in keeping with the University’s standards

IfThen was engaged to design and build a set of websites for the Biological Sciences Division, its 17 academic departments, and the Pritzker School of Medicine. A core design objective of this project was to build a suite of reusable templates and components that could be used across all of the Division’s units. IfThen developed a process for rapidly on-boarding new departments through a workshop training model. Both the core BSD codebase and the workshop on-boarding process became the foundation for future extensions to the platform. Learn more about the on-boarding approach.
