Frequently asked Questions

How do I implement this Events & Media Center on my site?

Navigate to the ShortPoint Demos Site, choose to copy this design, and paste it into your page to start highlighting campus activities immediately.

Will I need to manually update the page theme to match our colors?

Not at all. The template instantly adopts your existing SharePoint theme settings. Your specific fonts and palette apply automatically upon insertion, eliminating the need for tedious manual styling.

Can I use a particular section without the rest of the page?

Absolutely. You have the flexibility to select and use individual elements independently. This lets you enhance specific departmental pages without deploying the entire media center design.

Can I use it on a Classic SharePoint environment?

Yes, this architecture is designed to be fully responsive across both Modern and Classic platform versions. It renders reliably on both legacy Classic sites and newer Modern Communication sites, ensuring a consistent experience for the academic community.
