Request & Setup

There are two important steps to get started with your custom theme:

Complete the necessary forms

You must request a YaleSite and complete YaleSites Custom Agreement in order to build a custom site.

• Use the online YaleSites request form to request a YaleSite. Indicate that you would like a custom site and preferences for development environment.
• Complete the online YaleSites Custom Agreement as part of the request form.

Once your request has been received, the Web Team will contact you to discuss the YaleSites development environment and process.

Vendor set-up

If you do not have a staff member with the technical expertise necessary to build a custom site, you can hire an external vendor. If you hire a vendor, you must set them up with Yale University Procurement and obtain a Yale NetID for anyone needing access to the site.

• To set up the vendor for Yale University, contact Yale Shared Services.
• To obtain a Yale NetID, please visit the NetIDs and Passwords page on Yale’s ITS website.
