O V E R V I E W & COLO R P ALETTEs This style guide outlines the HTML text styles, color usage and image formats for the newly redesigned Emmanuel College Web site. In order to ensure visual consistency throughout the site, it is important to follow these guidelines as closely as possible.
General Rules • Body content should always be flush left, never centered or flush right.
Color Palettes The following HTML colors have been carefully selected to match Emmanuel College’s identity, support current collateral designed for Emmanuel, and to ensure maximum readability on the Web. Text colors should be used as they are available in the CMS. To maintain consistency throughout all areas of the site, additional colors should snot be used.
• Page content should not begin with a bulleted list. • For maximum consistency and readability, use only the text styles and colors available in the CMS.
Primary Palette
• Text modifications should be used sparingly, or they may become overwhelming and affect readability. If certain words require additional emphasis, apply a style that is bold or italic. • All content or in-line images must be re-sized to the appropriate dimensions for the page on which they will appear and saved as 72 dpi JPG files. • Imagery should be used judiciously within content, and only when it supports the message within the content. • Where “Resources” & “See Also” links and embedded content links are permitted, the links should be directly relevant to the content of the page. These links should not lead the user to unrelated information.
