Web Publishing Guidelines
This suite 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/ .
When designing a web page you should read and comply with the World Wide Web Access: Disability Discrimination Act Advisory Notes.
Web publishers must use the UNEweb Content Management System, as this ensures compliance with the UNE web presentation standards. 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 Web Information Architect before proceeding with its publication.
