ATLAS has moved to a new framework for creating department websites. The new approach uses a Content Management System (CMS) that allows department staff to make changes to the site directly in a web browser; no special software required. In addition to the new back end tools, the framework also includes a clean new appearance that adopts many of the latest web design trends, is mobile friendly, and is highly accessible to all.
The new framework is an optional upgrade that ATLAS is providing free of charge to LAS departments. We are in the process of rolling out the new framework to departments as fast as we can and will be contacting each department to consult on the migration. The new framework brings some consistency in design but also brings many customization options to allow each department to highlight the things most important to them. You can see the variety of layouts and features used by visiting some of the departments using it to highlight the work they are doing in the list below.
