One System, Built for Every Auburn Website
Tiger UX gives every college, department and unit a faster, more consistent way to build a website — without starting from a blank page. Instead of designing and coding each site from scratch, you choose from pre-built components, headers and templates that are already on-brand, already accessible and already tested.
Whether you're a designer scoping a redesign, a developer building a site in Cascade, or a content editor updating a page, the Auburn University Web Design System meets you where you work.
Here's What Moving to Cascade Gets You
If your college, department or program is running a website outside Cascade — WordPress, a static build, or something built years ago by a student worker who's since graduated — Tiger UX solves problems you're probably already carrying:
- You stop maintaining a website and start editing content. No plugin updates, no security patches, no hosting renewal. Cascade and OCM handle the platform; you handle the words and images.
- Your site inherits accessibility and brand compliance automatically. Every component is already WCAG 2.1 AA and on-brand — one less audit you have to run yourself.
- You're not starting from zero. Migration means mapping your existing content into templates that are already built, not redesigning from a blank page.
- You get a faster path to changes. New landing page, new staff bio, new event — it's a module choice, not a developer ticket.
See It Before You Build It
Developed by the Office of Communications and Marketing Web Team, the Cascade Page Builder brings Tiger UX to life. These no-code templates integrate Tiger UX components and built-in features that make it easier for teams to design, build and launch accessible, brand-aligned websites.
