Design Guidelines: Writing Pages With Instructions
and Templates
- The general guidelines used to set up this WWW domain are
based on the Yale C/AIM WWW Style Manual.
However, there is an important difference: we prefer to create
longer, flat linear documents rather than breaking the document
into chunks. More detail is given in Gareth's style guide
and in the creating Netscape Sites
- The title given at the top of the page should be the same
as the HTML Document Head Information (<Title>). The title
should be made as descriptive of the document as possible so that
search engines can find documents easier and more accurately.
- Terms or concepts which have their own descriptive or unique
page in the domain should be referenced (linked) to their descriptive
pages the first time that they are mentioned in the document (examples
for this particular page are "instructions" and "templates")
so that readers will get a more precise definition of the term
when they click on the word.
- Use the Hyperlink bookmark function to link the "Home"
button on the Linkbar to the corresponding section on the Home
Page so that when the link occurs, the reader will be taken to
the place on the home page where the link came from.
