Team Standards
The overriding principle is "Keep it Simple". The Web Standards are an
extension of the Design Philosophies. They are constantly evolving and
will contribute to a consistent look and feel of the Upsilon Web Site.
Image files will be kept in the subdirectory /images on www.upsilon.com.
Sound files will be kept in the subdirectory /sounds.
This will be the start of a Web Team Toolkit. When we progress to style
sheets, cgi/perl scripts, javascripts we will be creating similar libraries.
Use the ALT alternate text image property and/or text links at the bottom
of the image so that customers can still navigate even if they are unable
to see the graphics.
Page navigation will be assisted by always placing a TOP (if it is more
than one viewing page) and BACK to Previous page links.
Pages will only be three (3) levels deep. For example, A -> B -> C.
The customer will be led forward and backwards and should not be made to
lose orientation.
On at least on the first page, an Author and Last Modified Date must
be displayed so that our customer can decide whether to continue or not.
File sizes will be kept small to keep download times as short as possible.
The <bgsound> and <embed> tags for sound files will be placed
at the bottom of the page, so that it is the last to load. This allows
the customer to see the page quicker.
Broken links will be removed. If you want your link to be restored,
please email the webmaster@upsilon.com.
