Stanford has a family of themes built for Drupal 7. Our themes are centrally maintained, accessible, standards compliant, mobile responsive, and Stanford branded. They are updated quarterly and rolled out to Stanford Sites and to Drupal on the Collaboration Tools Installer. You may also request to download the themes for use on your Drupal site hosted elsewhere. Stanford Framework, Stanford Light, and other Stanford-branded themes are available for University academic departments, centers, research groups and administrative units. Open Framework and Stanford Basic are available for individuals and University-recognized student groups. Below is an introduction to each theme.

Base Theme

Open Framework is a responsive, full-featured base theme that uses Twitter Bootstrap styles. The Open Framework theme does not include any Stanford branding elements.

Subtheme without Stanford Brand Bars

Stanford Light is a new, flexible theme based on Open Framework that allows you to easily customize the look-and-feel of your site using several new theme options. Theme options in Stanford Light let you choose from three font families and seven visual styles. Fonts and colors are variations on those recommended in the Stanford Identity Toolkit. You can also easily add background images to your header. Stanford Light is ideal for personal websites, student group websites, websites which do not require Stanford branding but still want the look and feel of a professional Stanford website.
