Style Requirements

Usability tests have shown that the single greatest impediment to users of the Swinburne Web Site is the lack of consistent design elements.

The purpose of this style guide is to define standards and provide templates in relation to material published on Swinburne's web site. It is also intended to act as a reference tool for publishers in relation to web design in general.
