Web Design Standards

PurposeThis document outlines the standards that have been developed for use on the PM Professionals of Greater Vancouver website. The purpose of these standards is to provide the specifications to design and develop the initial website and create a foundation for the sustainment of the site and the development of new pages. The goal is to:

1. Employ the use of ‘best practice’ web design standards with a minimum of logical and/or technical complexity.

2. Ensure consistency in the look and feel of the site, including treatment of graphics.

3. Ensure that changes to the structure of the site and navigational elements are consistent with the original navigational plan.

4. Provide guidelines on the correct use of style sheets and other design tools developed for this site.

This document should be used in conjunction with the Requirements Specification document and the prototype, which provides a visual explanation of the requirements.

Site Structure and Navigation Plan

Site MapThe website will be made up of 6 major categories or sections. Each category will contain:

A main html page consisting of the frameset (See Appendix A for sample html.) An html file for the left navigation frame One or more html content files for the right frame.

 2 Opening Content Panel

Generally, html content pages should not be nested deeper than Level 2. Level 3 will consist mainly of downloadable files.

Design Philosophy

An overriding objective is to make the web side as simple as possible to update. To this end, the coding will be kept to basic HTML. The hope is that a volunteer with an understanding of HTML fundamentals will be able to interpret the coding of any page, and will be able either to amend the content of an existing page, or to create a new page using a template. Our experience with the website development project has underlined how difficult it is to recruit volunteers with basic HTML capability.

For this reason, the most sophisticated design feature will be the use of frames, in order to obtain a common navigation panel in each window. We will NOT use any advanced or interactive coding, programming techniques or features such as the following:

Style sheets (except to specify the global font family) Forms Backgrounds, icons, or other advanced graphics Java JavaScript Active X VB Script Shockwave CGI, or other forms of server side scripting.

Further, in the interest of developing code which can interpreted by a volunteer with a basic understanding of HTML, the use of web page development software such as Front Page will be generally discouraged in favour of software which displays and directly generates individual HTML tags.

Stylesheets Global stylesheets are external files that can be used to control the appearance of text and tables to provide the same look and feel throughout the website while minimizing the maintenance effort. For this project, an external style sheet should be used for all html pages to define a single attribute: the default font family, Times Roman.

ElementsFollowing are a list of the required elements for this site, and instructions on their proper use.

Web Design Standards

FramesGenerally speaking, each webpage will consist of two frames, aligned horizontally. The left frame will consist of the navigation links and the right frame will be used for the page content. See the Visual Design and Styles section below for template details.

Figure 1 - Sample Page

Global Navigation ElementGlobal navigation is implemented in the left frame of the page. Each category or section will have its own version of the navigation menu.

A navigation menu will be displayed in every screen. The menu will list the major content categories for the site plus the content subcategories, if any, associated with the major category currently on display in the content panel. Thus there will be a separate version of the navigation menu for each category.

The example below is the navigation menu for the Participate category. It contains links to all of the level 1 pages in the Participate section as well as links to the main pages of the other categories.

Page 7: €¦  · Web viewWebsite Requirements-R5.doc Website Upgrade Project Requirements ... The first word in the file name shall be a ... Dele Omueti, PMP Telus Program ...

Web Design Standards

The Society of PM Professionals logo at the top of each navigation menu should be a link to the Home Page (about.html)

Page TitlesThe HTML title of a page is used to identify a page:

in the web browser window in a browser’s history list in lists of search engine results in browser bookmarks or favourites lists

Because the page’s HTML title is so widely used, it is important that it clearly and succinctly reflect the content that will be found on the page. It is also helpful if the HTML title provides information about where in a site (and in what site) a page is located. This seems too elaborate. I think the current page heading alone will suffice. The visitor will always have the navigation panel to refer to. VJP – I think that the minimum we need is page title and website name. If we just have the page title, users who bookmark the page or add it to their Favorites will just have the page title, PMProFrame1.0, for example. The link will not have any context for the user after he/she has left the website.

In order to best fulfill the purposes for which it is used, the following format is the standard for HTML titles:

<title>current page heading >> site</title>

E.g . Seminar Proceedings Archive >>PM Professionals of Greater Vancouver

Meta TagsLike the HTML title, meta tags are used by search engines to index HTML pages and display search results.

Since casual visitors who find the site using a search engine are not our focus, a single meta tag for all pages with a few words such as “project management, PMP, Vancouver, professional development” will suffice.

The Meta Description<meta type="description" content="Project management, professional development, PMP, Vancouver">

The information contained in the meta description tag is used by search engines when displaying search results. Ideally, it provides readers with a brief description of what they might expect to find on the page if they decide to click through. Meta descriptions should be limited to 200 words or less.

Writing Meta KeywordsSince most search engines now ignore this tag, it is not necessary to include it in the page design.

Update Information

Each content page shall contain the date when it was most recently updated. This information will typically be displayed at the bottom of the page, but may appear at the top if it makes sense.

SecurityThis website is intended to be available to the general public so no security measures are required in terms of identifying users or restricting access to certain pages.

Home Page ExceptionsAssuming Vancouver Community Net (VCN) is the website host, in addition to the standard 2-frame frameset, the website home page (about.html) requires the following header and footer elements:

Header Element

Footer Element

Vancouver CommunityNet What's New at VCN Event Listings Search

See an example on the existing website: http://www.vcn.bc.ca/pmprof/

Visual Design & Styles

TemplatesEach browser window display shall consist of two panels (frames):

1. Left Frame - A navigation panel containing the Society logo and links which allow the user to navigate to content pages and, through other menus, throughout the site.

2. Right Frame - A content panel which is used to present content pages. These pages contain the useful information which is the subject of the site, and which also is used to present links to files for download and links to other content pages

Each HTML file shall conform to a standard template. These four templates are part of this standard:

- 5 -

Page 9: €¦  · Web viewWebsite Requirements-R5.doc Website Upgrade Project Requirements ... The first word in the file name shall be a ... Dele Omueti, PMP Telus Program ...

Web Design Standards

1. Frameset. Establishes the navigation menu and the opening content page for each major category. The pages developed from this template are given the file name <CategoryName>Frame.html.

2. Navigation. Contains a navigation menu for a single major category with links to each first level content page associated with the major category and with links to every other major category (i.e. frameset) in the site. If there is only one associated content page in a major category, it is the opening page for the category and does not require a separate listing. The navigation menu is called by a frameset. The pages developed from this template are given the file name <CategoryName>Menu.html

3. Level 1 Content Page. Contains information on a subject and links to additional related information. A level 1 content page may contain: links to other content pages associated with the same category (i.e., the same frameset); links to document files for download; and links to web pages at other sites. A level 1 page may NOT contain links to content pages associated with other categories or links to framesets. A level 1 content page may be called by a frameset or by another level 1 content page associated with the same category. Pages developed from this template are given file names which are descriptive of the content. For example: Administration.html, Governance.html, or Participate.html.

4. Level 2 Content Page. Contains more detailed or additional information on a subject, and will be called by a link on a Level 1 content page associated with the same category. Only one type of level 2 content page will be allowed: the detailed description of presentations and workshops at a single professional development seminar, including links to document files for download. Only document links and links to web pages on other sites will be allowed in a level 2 content page. Pages developed from this template are given file names which describe individual seminars by number. For example: Seminar11.html, Seminar12.html.

Each template contains instructions on the creating a new web page. The instructions shall be in the form of comments imbedded in the HTML code.

Proceedings Archive TemplatesOnce created, most of the web pages will be relatively static. The exception is the Proceedings Archive section of the website which will need to be updated each time a seminar is held (approximately 3-5 times a year). An overview of the pages in this section is described here.

Note that any page containing links to downloadable presentation documents must contain the following text:

‘By using or downloading any material from this site, I agree that the material shall be for my personal use only and shall not be reproduced for other parties without the consent of the author.’

Refer to the Website Upgrade Project – Requirements Specification document (Archive and Repository of Documents section) for further details.

Seminars List Template

Figure 2 - Sample Seminars List Summary Page (SeminarsList.html)

This template will be used to create a webpage containing a summary listing of all seminars held to date. The seminar links on the page will be listed in reverse chronological order and will point to the detail page for each seminar.

Seminar Detail Page Template

Figure 3 - Sample Seminar Detail Page (Seminar12.html)

The Seminar Detail page template will be used to create a webpage for each seminar. As shown in Figure 3, the top of the Seminar Detail page will contain links to presentations given during the seminar -

which are located on the same page. Within each description are links to downloadable pdf files for that presentation, if any exist.

Each presentation will contain the following headings:o Abstracto Biographical Outlineo Documents for Downloadingo Contact Information

Presentation Documents List Template

Figure 4 - Presentation Documents List Page Template (PresentationsList.html)

The Presentation Documents List Page template will be used to create a webpage listing the presentation documents in alphabetical order. Each entry will be a link to the presentation abstract on the appropriate Seminar Detail page. (See the prototype for a demo of the required functionality.)

Colour Palette and FontsThe left frame containing the global nav column has a background colour of #b7e1fd (light blue). The background color of the right frame containing the web page content is white.

The font shall be Times New Roman (black), throughout. The header text size shall be “+1” and the body text size shall be “-1”.

Unvisited links should be #0000ff (blue)

Visited links should be #800080 (fuschia)

Active links should be #ff0000 (red)

ImagesThe only image on the website will be a GIF image containing the Society logo. Because the Vancouver Community Network is the hosting service for the site, there is link to the VCN logo image on the opening page of the site (PMProFrame1.0.html, Contents1.0.html).

Web Page ContentWeb design usability studies have shown that, unlike paper media readers, website visitors expect to grasp the contents of a page after a quick scan. Consequently, if a page contains a long list of items and requires excessive scrolling, the entries should be grouped and links to each group should be displayed at the top of the page to assist the user to more quickly locate the desired information. For example, the list of presentation documents may become onerously long and need to be divided into alphabetic groups with links at the top of the page to anchor tags for each group.

In extreme cases, dividing the content into multiple pages should be considered however this method must be used judiciously as it may potentially increase the effort required to maintain the overall website.

Site ContactThe name of the site contact should appear on the Contacts.html page. The name is in plain text, and is the label for a mailto link. E.g. “WebMaster”. The email address may be the administrator’s email or the generic [email protected].

File Structure and Naming ConventionsAll HTML files shall be stored in the main directory. The naming conventions for HTML files are described above in the section titled “Templates”. All downloadable presentations, documents, and forms will be converted to .pdf format and be made available as ‘read only’ documents.

Subdirectories shall be utilized for three classes of down load document files:

1. Subdirectory “Emails” will contain all email messages available for download from the site. The email message files associated with level 1 content file “Notices.html” shall be named to reflect the date of publication and the nature of the message, using the form apr2005news.eml or dec03-03pddnotice as appropriate. (VJP – Should these be converted to .pdf as well?)

2. Subdirectory “Presentations” will contain the document files of workshop or presentation materials from professional development seminar programs, for download. The document files will be named to reflect the topic of the presentation or workshop, the name of the author, and the identification number of the seminar, using the form MethodologyICBC-BSinclairPD11.pdf or RiskWorkshopExerciseRSchulzPD12.pdf, for example. The first word in the file name shall be a keyword describing the major topic of the presentation or workshop, typically a PMBOK knowledge area or recognized project management term. For example: Risk, Team, Procurement, Organization, Competency, Cost.

3. Subdirectory “Forms” will contain all downloadable forms such as membership applications, seminar lunch requisitions, etc.

A fourth subdirectory named “Admin” will contain read-only copies of the templates used to create the html web pages as well as documentation associated with maintaining the web site.

Outstanding Issues There is concern that the degree of complexity of the design will be too difficult for a novice

web page developer to undertake, both for initial implementation as well as website maintenance. Specifically:

o The use of an external style sheet to define the global font family

o The use of frames to implement the section navigation menus in the left side of the page.

There is some debate regarding the readability of the Times Roman font selected as the default font. Subsequent testing and analysis may result in a different default font being chosen.
