To avoid confusion, the web version of this document should be considered the authoritative and most current version. Since the potential exists for the creation of numerous Internet and Intranet web sites and servers within IHS, it is important to establish a consistent framework for web development and maintenance throughout IHS to help users find, retrieve, and use the information they need. If all IHS-sponsored WWW homepages adhere to a reasonable set of standards and guidelines for the organization and presentation of information, users will be able to enter the system at any point and tap not only the specific homepage they first contact, but also the full resources of the entire interlinked system of IHS materials. This document is intended to provide standards and guidelines to ensure high quality and consistent content, organization, and presentation of information on IHS servers and web pages. This also applies to IHS web contractors residing on or offsite developing web pages for IHS owned or leased equipment.
Guidelines are good practices that have worked well elsewhere.
They are proven and have produced successful results. IHS web developers are encouraged to incorporate these guidelines into their web projects. No changes have been made to this page.
