  1. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Choose a Corporate-identity website if Utrecht University is the main organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Choose a partnership website if the project is a collaboration with other organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Choose a non-UU website if you want to follow your own style while still representing Utrecht University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Non University’s brand websites<\/h2>
      \n

      These are websites where you can use your own style and ideas. You don\u2019t have to follow a corporate style. The system offers the option to use your own colors and fonts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Example<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Theme colors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Theme colors are preset colors in your website theme that control the look of your site. When you change a theme color, it automatically updates all parts of the sites that use that color, like buttons, headings, links, and backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How to activate theme colors?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Please contact your key user<\/a> if you would like to activate the color options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Colors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      In WordPress, you can set a color per element type in Colors<\/em>. For example, if you change the Buttons color to a hex code like #FF6600<\/code>, all buttons on your website will automatically use that same color. This lets you update all elements of the same type at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
