The famous Telerik International University (TIU) Website has been updated to Sitefinity 4.0, making full use of the powerful out-of-the-box functionality. This site was developed inside of 1 week, using ONLY the Sitefinity Dashboard to create and manage its content.

Template and Themes

The TIU starter kit features two professionally designed themes; one for spring and one for autumn. The theme is easily switchable, and will instantly propagate to all pages across the site.
