Welcome to the IU Communications Framework documentation portal. With this guide you will learn the basics of the IU Communications website framework.

If you are looking for information on the new IU Framework, visit the IU Framework site.

If there are “custom” elements not covered in this documentation, they will be covered in the “documentation” section of your particular site. With each site, we include a “_documentation” folder where the instructions for any custom page elements reside.

If you are new to this page, we suggest starting with “Page Structure” (the first item in the main navigation at the top of site) and moving to the right through the menu.

If you notice any discrepancies, inaccuracies, or questions about the content, please feel free to email us at commhelp@iu.edu.
