UIC websites
Introduction
The university uses Red, a multisite network and resource for creating and managing UIC websites. This WordPress platform includes a UIC branded theme framework for a consistent look among all UIC department websites.
The theme offers a variety of page layouts and content components that are designed to create responsive, accessible and usable websites without extensive knowledge of website development. Departments also have the option to have sub-unit websites nested into their main unit websites.
SMC’s Office of Digital Marketing and Engagement can provide guidance on website topics such as:
- Technical specifications for UIC websites
- Usability testing
- Information architecture
- User experience
- Content strategy

Website Content Guidelines
These content guidelines are designed to ensure that all content published on official university, college, department, unit, office, research lab and other UIC-affiliated websites aligns with the institution’s mission, values and branding. The primary goal is to maintain an inclusive, professional, engaging and informative tone while adhering to the university’s policies and guidelines.
