Theme and branding

The theme refers to the "look and feel" of the website: The fonts, colors, and other structural elements (i.e., the UC Berkeley wordmark, site name/banner region, main menu, and footer). There are a few theme settings available to Site Builders and Site Managers.

Add and manage categories

The Berkeley Web Builder platform has two types of categories (taxonomy):

Content tags are a generic category type that can be used with any content types in order to create connections between content and to filter generic Listings widgets. Media tags are a generic category type that can be used with any media type (images, files, videos). The FAQ, People, Publications, and News features each have dedicated category types for grouping and featuring data-specific content structures.

All of the categories can be viewed and managed from “Categories” page on the dashboard. See Figure 1, below.
