• Content Style Guide: tips for writing content for the web plus spelling conventions used across UWA sites and standard formats used to lay out web pages.
• Structure and Navigation: how to determine what should be presented and where.

Visual identity

The Web Office is responsible for the visual identity of all official University web pages. For most content, this is handled automatically by the web publishing facilities and content management systems offered by the Web Office.

Official websites and applications outside of central web publishing facilities are required to use The University's visual identity in a consistent manner. If you are implementing a new web application, or want to migrate an existing application to the visual identity, contact us so you can be provided with access to markup, scripts, style sheets, and images hosted on central servers.

The Web Office should be included in your processes as early as possible, as it is a requirement that we authorise use of the visual identity before a site goes live. Our templates may evolve over time, so copying the look of another site will not ensure compliance.
