"Best Practices for the Web" provides a set of
guidelines to all University of Utah staff engaged in the
development and maintenance of World Wide Web (WWW) resources.
This document serves as a resource for staff new to creation
of web pages and for experienced web developers. While members
of the community are encouraged to use the web in pursuit
of their teaching, learning, research and service, the contents
of all pages under University jurisdiction (on servers funded
by University budgets) must comply with University of Utah
Policies and Procedures, as well as local, state, and federal
laws. |

- Consistency - University of Utah web pages are used both
by the University community engaged in teaching, research,
and service; and also by visitors and prospective members
of our community. Consistency in 'look and feel,' in navigation,
linking, and presentation help users feel comfortable moving
through our sites.
- Robustness - Adherence to generally accepted standards
for HTML, images, etc., routine maintenance of content
and links, and good metadata to ensure better search engine
results mean that content is easily and reliably accessible.
- Professionalism - User-centered websites, built in accordance
with current standards, technically sound and graphically
elegant, demonstrate our commitment to providing the most
high-quality experience for our users.
