Web Publishing Guidelines

This set of web pages exemplifies the standard to be used by official Web page developers at the University of New England. All WWW publishing should also conform to the HTML Working Group Internet standard which can be found at: http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/ For personal pages, please see: Setting up Personal Web Pages.

When designing a web page you should read and comply with the World Wide Web Access: Disability Discrimination Act Advisory Notes.

Web developers are encouraged to copy the template for use in the development of further documents. Where it is felt that for particular reasons a document should be exempted from one or more provisions of this standard, its developer should confer with the WebMaker before proceeding with its publication.
