Quote Maven Design Standard & Documentation
- All 2nd level pages should use the 2nd level template
- Content pages within each group should use the template for that group (see template list below).
- Pages that are unique should resemble the main page or the 2nd level page.
- Cascading style sheet (style.css) should be used to control body typeface and formatting
- Site Typeface is President; image map text size is 14
- Virtual Include is used for Email address so I can change it later
- Navigation: image map is used for top menu; text for bottom menu; back on detail pages to return to list page; home icon to top level page
- Each page should contain the following:
- email link, and date/time last revised
- menu structure
- link to the home page of the quotes site
Subdirectories & their associated templates:
