Custom Home Pages
Official FSU web sites may create a unique home page

home page designs must following these guidelines in addition to meeting
the General Requirements listed above.
- The custom design is required to follow the guidelines
for appropriate use of the template areas as outlined in the Explanation

- Page size of 760 x 420 pixels to fill the viewable
area of an 800 x 600 pixel screen.
A Adobe Photoshop file is provided to be used as
a guide when creating a custom home page design. The canvas dimensions
in the file are 760 pixels by 381 pixels (h x w). The file includes
the area from the top of the Program/Unit Identifier to the bottom
of the optional secondary navigation area.
When the custom design is implemented in the HTML
University web template file, which includes the code for the required
University Identifier area above and the required Footer area below
the custom design area, the result is a web page with a final height
of roughly 420 pixels (the required height for custom designed home
pages).
-
Custom designed home pages must be reviewed by the
Web Advisory Group prior to implementation. Contact
the FSU Webmaster to initiate this review.
- Secondary pages of sites with a custom designed home
page must use a standard implementation of Site Design Option 1.
