Archived Frameworks<\/h2>\n

We don\u2019t support them at all, but we do have to test them during WordPress upgrades for some remaining BU sites from pre-2014 that are out there using them.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFlexi\u201d Themes<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Flexi will no longer be available for new websites, with the exception of requests for new sites that must meet the design of an existing family of sites also using Flexi.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2014 IS&T\/TechWeb<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

In short, we’ve archived the repositories for these themes and no longer recommend them to clients. Their visual look and structure are out of date.<\/p>\n

BU & <\/strong>BU Mobile Themes<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

BU Mobile was a mobile-only variation of BU themes. Both were entirely separate themes: one for desktop, another for mobile. Since responsive web design became the standard, it’s been discontinued.<\/p>\n

Customized Annual Report Sites<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Customized Websites are rare these days because of the intense amount of technical debt and upkeep. Our BU Annual Report sites prior to 2023 were a solid example where all aspects (including copy!) were being maintained by a lead designer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Annual Report Archive<\/a><\/p>\n

Annual Report Theme<\/a> replaced the sites in the archive and is an edited variation of the Readymade Beacon Hill theme<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
