The KU CMS

The University of Kansas uses a content management system (CMS) to ensure a consistent user experience, rich content and easy access to the information KU site visitors are seeking.

The KU Brand CMS brings a fresh look to existing KU CMS sites and adds two new home page options that feature a full-width "hero" photo. Updating to the brand is easy for a site administrator. Once you have completed the KU 2017 Brand request form, a web developer will make the Brand Preview button available. The Brand Preview button will then appear in the black tool bar, and you will be able to toggle the new look on (and off) to preview how your site will appear. Once you are ready to commit, you can apply the KU Brand using the Brand panel under Configuration. This will allow you to bring your site into alignment with KU's branding without extensive modifications or work
