  • Keep content current. Review your site at least once a semester and update or remove outdated information.<\/li>\n
  • Use the official theme components. Buttons, cards, accordions, and other components are pre-built and accessible.<\/li>\n
  • Write for the web. Use short paragraphs, clear headings, and plain language.<\/li>\n
  • Use accessible images. Every image should have descriptive alt text. Decorative images should have an empty alt attribute (alt=\"\"<\/code>).<\/li>\n
  • Link descriptively. Link text should describe the destination, not “click here” or “read more.”<\/li>\n
  • Set unfinished pages to Draft or use password protection until the content is ready for the public.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t\t

    • Don’t publish “under construction” pages. Pages that aren’t ready should be saved as drafts or password-protected, not published with placeholder text, construction graphics, or notes saying content is coming soon.<\/li>\n
    • Don’t use generic or decorative images as content. Use authentic photography when possible.<\/li>\n
    • Don’t override the theme with inline styles. Custom CSS or inline style attributes can break accessibility, responsive layout, and future theme updates.<\/li>\n
    • Don’t use heading tags for visual styling. Use H2, H3, etc. to reflect content hierarchy, not to make text bigger or bolder.<\/li>\n
    • Don’t create duplicate pages for the same content. Link to existing pages on marshall.edu rather than copying content.<\/li>\n
    • Don’t leave access open after someone leaves. Notify the Web Team when a user no longer needs access.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n
