We offer a default template for WPMS that adheres to ATI compliance and university guidelines, encompassing all essential features required by most sites.
However, if you require or prefer a different template, you have the option to provide your own. It’s recommended to opt for a paid template over a free one for enhanced quality and support. Before purchasing a template, please share the link with library web services for vetting purposes. We will ensure that the template aligns with our standards before it can be implemented.
What to Look for When Searching for a Template
The selected template must adhere to ATI compliance standards, ensuring accessibility and usability for all students, faculty, and staff.
It’s essential to consider the frequency of updates provided by the template author. Technology evolves rapidly, and the template must evolve accordingly to maintain ATI compliance and support across various browsers. Additionally, the threat posed by hackers necessitates continuous adaptation to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
Please note that while the responsibility for maintaining ATI compliance rests with you, if the author discontinues support for the template and it falls out of compliance, you will be accountable for rectifying the situation or finding an alternative compliant template.
Paid vs Free Template Sites
Most paid template sites, such as ThemeForest, enforce stringent requirements for authors to uphold ongoing maintenance and provide support. This ensures that templates remain ATI compliant amidst evolving technologies, addresses vulnerability exploits exploited by hackers, and resolves general issues arising from browser updates.
I personally recommend ThemeForest as a reliable source for purchasing templates. Over the years, they have consistently earned my trust by providing exceptional support and holding authors accountable for maintaining up-to-date templates. Their commitment to ensuring quality and compliance aligns with our standards and ensures a smooth experience for users.
