Within Cascade, you have creative freedom to an extent. You can design various layouts by creating and wiring multi-blocks, announcement blocks, feed blocks, and/or slideshow blocks to your page; however, some design elements will remain consistent across all pages in order to promote usability and consistency to users, regardless of where they may be within jmu.edu. The main design elements that will stay consistent between templates is the header and footer regions of the page and the appearance of your navigation.
See our Layout Examples to receive inspiration on how you can design your own website.
