Web Template
The 1889 template is a theme to help Clemson's marketers and web developers quickly create websites that are responsive, dynamic, and on-brand.
It was built with the foundation framework and utilizes the university's content management system and hand-coded magic.
Note: the information here only applies to new sites built with this matching template and will not work for the college or legacy templates.
