Components, Patterns & Layouts

Torch Theme

The Torch WordPress theme includes components, patterns, and layouts that align with university branding and best practices for digital media and accessibility. This website provides documentation for the design elements that are available to you in the Torch theme, as well as best practices for using them to create a official UT website.

At the heart of the Torch theme are its custom components and patterns—modular elements that can be combined to create website interfaces and page layouts. Each entry in the library features a description, use cases, best practices, and specifications, as well as code for embedding components in your website.
