This section is home to central resources for web development standards at Emory. We all share two goals in publishing university websites:
Millions of people visit one or more sites at Emory every month. These visitors see Emory as a single organization. They don't think of Emory as a collection of individual schools, divisions, offices and departments. They just want to get the information they need, and get it in a hurry.
Your site may be Emory's only chance to make a lasting impression on many visitors. It's important that all our sites look and feel like they belong to the same institution. Consistency in design, navigation, function and message is the key to this. Departments and school sites should reflect individual flavor and character within guidelines that users will recognize as "Emory."
The Standard Template design was created in conjunction with the main university site. The two designs have a similar "look and feel," which makes it readily apparent to visitors that departments using the template design are part of Emory's web presence.
