Enterprise Web Design Template

Version 1

The HTML

The Enterprise Web Design Template (EWDT) is mandated by the 7020 Design Standards

All externally-accessible web pages must use as their source the Enterprise Web Design Template located at http://webtoolkit.ky.gov...  All components of the template are to use the source code as written in the supporting HTML and Cascading Style Sheets, except where noted below.  This standard facilitates enterprise wide uniformity and accessibility compliance.

The CSS Schemes

By default, the EWDT uses two templates: a "standards" CSS file that enforces compliance with the 7020 Design Standards and a scheme CSS file.

While the EWDT defaults to the Blue scheme, you are under no obligation to use the Blue scheme.  Feel free to change the scheme for your site, or create your own scheme.

All pages have to link to the Standards CSS file at the location indicated in the source code of the EWDT.  You can link to one of the scheme files listed above, host the scheme file on your own server, or create your own scheme file.

The Components

The Enterprise Web Design Template is made up of a number of "components", each with its own function, style and requirements.  Each component varies in its allowance for creativity, with some being very restrictive to others allowing great latitude.
