Configuring Pages, Headers & Footers

New sites launch with standard templates, layouts, and navigation already in place, giving you a consistent, accessible foundation from the start. This section covers how to configure page-level settings along with global elements like headers, footers, navigation menus, and breadcrumbs using built-in options rather than custom layout changes.

Departments are responsible for content and basic configuration choices, while overall layout and design are controlled by the template to maintain consistency across stonybrook.edu. Use the guides linked here to adjust these settings safely and intentionally.

Please contact Web Services before making any structural changes that affect navigation or global site elements. A short overview video will be available to walk through the basics.
