Best Practice Recommendations (Accomplishments)

Layout

• To minimize blank space in right-sidebars for longer pages, consider the addition of approved Callout apps (Mobile app download, Meet the Superintendent, etc.)
• To encourage readers to continue reading longer blocks of text, break blocks into groups of 2-4 sentences each. 
• Occasional use of pages without a left navigation should be considered for pages containing large amounts of text and multiple lists of files
  • Clear and obvious inclusion of a link back to the originating page must be included when the left navigation is removed

Styling / App Selection

• For blocks of text (+5 sentences or text blocks greater than 1/2 the page) consider using font styling within the paragraph to assist readers in focusing on key concepts
• Use built-in Editor Styles on sub-paragraphs to provide visual separation for the reader between blocks of text
• To minimize errors caused when manually adding links, avoid listing files within the Content App (Use the Site Shortcuts, File Library, or Link Library).

Graphics

• To balance whitespace, consider the addition of a graphical element in the footer.
