Site Standards
Addresses
- Abbreviate all street identifiers unless they are in a paragraph.
- Use address blocks like envelopes.
- Don't add a break between addresses and previous paragraph that refers to it.
Example:
Fill out the form and mail it to us at:
Contra Costa County Department of Public Works
225 Glacier Dr.
Martinez, CA 94553
Commas
A comma is necessary before the final item. (i.e., I really hate cheese, Lima beans, biscuits and gravy, and extra commas.)
Use commas at other times as needed. (Hint, the word "which" almost always requires a comma).
Images
When using images for the site they should be no larger then the following in these instances:
- Right contact with image (only for Division Chairs): 200 x 150 for landscape and 150 x 200 for portrait
- Staff directory (only for Board Members): 144 x 216 (using standard options) 150 x 200 (when using basic HTML)
- Resource directory: 160 x 120
