The new design includes the option of developing custom site navigation elements for school home pages, and departments within a school site. You can also include secondary navigation menus in the left and right columns of a page or template.

Images
- Subsite Title Image Collection
The site designer has created several dozen subsite title images, for use in applying a new template option to an existing site. - Title Image Creator
A Web-based utility is available for Commonspot users to create a subsite title image. - Image Optimization
The site design includes width limits for the left, center, and right columns. A Web-bsaed image editing utility is available for use in re-sizing images to fit within the fixed-width layout.

Using Commonspot's text editor, you can modify table formatting by changing border settings, applying a style class, or using a custom script to apply alternating bands of background color to table rows.
-
Design resources are available for developers of SCU-related Web sites that are not managed within the Commonspot CMS.

Documentation of the redesign project describes the initial testing, discover, planning, and design phases.
