General Tips

  • Preview is not accurate. Publish pages to view.

Creating a Page

  • Folders, sections, and filenames must be lowercase and use hyphens between words (Ie: program-concentration).  
  • Use subheadings on pages when appropriate and H2 on two-column pages (in parameters).
  • Know which button style to use where:
    • Solid blue buttons are used in most CTA instances
    • Blue outline buttons are used for CTAs in accordions
    • Blue link buttons are used for linking out to other resources that are not the page's key calls to action
  • When pasting content from elsewhere, remove unnecessary styles and code by using a stripping tool such as html-cleaner.com or pasting into Notepad first.

Writing

  • Headers, proper names, job titles, program names, and buttons should be in title case. Only acronyms should be written in all caps. See style guide for capitalization if in question. 
  • Spell out "Nova Southeastern University" on first reference and use "NSU" thereafter.
  • Spell out college/division on first reference, including donor name where applicable.

Carousel in Banner 

Homepages have the option for a carousel in banner. These are limited to no more than three images. To have a static banner, only insert one photo.  

 

Side content 

Not all components work in the side content block, only  

  • CTA buttons (snippet) 
  • Block quote (no photo) 
  • General block 

CTAs should be ordered: 

  • Request Info 
  • Apply Now 

There are generic assets for CTAs for admissions, undergraduate programs, and graduate programs. Confirm that these links match what is on the current website as they are not consistent across all pages/programs. 

 

Colors 

Most pages will have shades of blue and gray only (no hibiscus orange or palm green). 

https://www.nova.edu/brand/colors.html 

 

Generally, alternate background colors when stacking components. 

  • Facts, Figures and Earnings should be in NSU blue. 
  • Quick Facts have light gray background. 
  • Success stories (video) have NSU blue background. 
  • For program pages, use a hierarchy of dark to light.  

 

Folders vs. Sections 

https://support.moderncampus.com/get-started/content-editor/new-pages.html  

For new directories, create a new “section” versus “folder” so it automatically adds proper files to populate navigation. Folders should be used for documents and images. Each section should have an index file. 

For the people directory, use New Faculty Section to create the faculty list index page instead of a standard index page.

  • If a folder has no index page, edit the folder settings and “Skip” the folder from being included in the breadcrumbs.
