Design Guidelines

The Harvard-Westlake site was designed to be flexible enough to accomodate a wide range of creative expression.

Key to this flexibility is the use of a "family" system that provides coherence to the entire site while providing ample opportunity for creative expression for those who will add to the site. Each of the major sections has its own look—expressed through color and images—but they all are immediately identifiable as part of the Harvard-Westlake site.

There are a number of considerations to take into account in designing your page. This section provides guidelines that permit you to express yourself while still maintaining the look and feel of the Harvard-Westlake site. There is also a section of design resources—ready-to-use graphics and templates—as well as links to other Web sites to learn more about creating Web pages.

Don't forget: First things first. Check on how you can add your pages to the site before beginning work.

You are invited to contribute to the Harvard-Westlake site by developing additional pages in any of the following ways:

Using a template to create your pages. Templates are available for you to use ina wide range of authoring environments. These templates will provide you with the basic page format to follow the exact look and feel of existing pages in your section.


Separate design linked to other sections of the site. You may choose to design your page using only the top navigation bar and then create a different look for your page. In such a case, we ask that you make your page 600 pixels wide, and utilize one of the navigational templates for your section so that visitors can easily go to other sections of the site.
