Text links are important for viewers who are not able to see images and will aid in the navigation for all viewers. They were each designed to allow viewers the ability to navigate easily through the UMBC site, but are completely customizable. The templates can be used as a jumping off point for departments who wish to modify them and add their own images. Or, sites can be created simply by adding text. The templates were designed in the UMBC color palette of red and black, but any browser safe colors can be used.
