More about the visual layout and design of the website
The Marketing and Communications Department controls the visual design of the main University websites. Centralized control of website design is essential for consistency, accessibility and maintainability.
Current website design is based on extensive research and planning, technical requirements, stakeholder review and approval, and testing. The Web design task overlaps with other MarCom activities like graphic design and managing the University’s brand and identity.
Website design includes page structure and layout, font styles, colors, navigation menus, image sizes, etc. The current design has been tested to work on a variety of device/browser combinations. The design is “responsive,” which means that pages appear with an appropriate layout on diverse devices, from full-sized desktop computer screens to mobile phone displays. And the design meets WCAG 2.1 accessibility requirements.
There are several attractive design options available within the University’s approved page template. Feel free to submit a web request to discuss making the most of the available webpage components.
