Maxwell School of Syracuse University

You are looking at the Maxwell School website template.

It includes the vertical strip of teal-green down the left side of the page, with its built-in menu of links across the larger Maxwell website. It also includes the three population-specific links at the top of the page (along with the animated photo strip), and the built-in address and phone line at the bottom. Optionally, it includes a set of suggested display-text treatments (including, for example, the brick-red headline treatment above).

This template was revised in January 2004 to incorporate asp-based ("dynamic") page construction. The standard elements of the page, listed in the previous paragraph, are drawn from a remote, common source, allowing any such elements to be revised sitewide and simultaneously. At that time, the template also incorporated the yellow pop-up menus visible when mousing over the side navbar.

Department-maintained websites within the Maxwell School have the option of fully incorporating the Maxwell website template in their existing pages, by adding the top, left, and bottom framing elements to their existing pages. Most departments will choose, also, to supplement the links in the left sidebar with a second set of inward, site-specific links. Departments that do not wish to display the entire list of outward, Maxwell links have the option of collapsing those into a single menu item with pop-up; for more information, contact Dana Cooke at 443-4667, or dlcooke@maxwell.syr.edu.

Departments that do not incorporate the Maxwell template are strongly encouraged to include components of or at least a single prominent reference to the main Maxwell pages. Adoption of the signature colors (described below) is a possible option. Or, at a minimum, departments are asked to include the "Maxwell" web logo (shown at right), linked to the main Maxwell homepage (www.maxwell.syr.edu) and, preferably, with a text link as well (e.g., "Maxwell School Homepage").

The Maxwell Website template is based on the Maxwell Logo Program for publications. Information about fonts and the teal-and-gray color scheme are located on the Maxwell Logo Program page.
