We finally put out a properly branded WordPress theme for Rice University that is both accessible and responsive. This was a joint project with the Office of Information Technology at Rice and we are excited to be a part of it. This is a great theme to use if you are looking for that official look.  We’ve included training materials and resources inside the theme, but we figured it might be helpful to post them here as well.

There are a few things you will need to do in order to get up and running. We’ve created videos to help you.
