Welcome to the University of Cambridge web style guide.
The guidelines, templates and components provided here form the central toolkit for building University of Cambridge and partner websites.
The guide’s main purpose is to encourage a consistent, efficient, satisfying user experience across all University of Cambridge sites, whilst giving local site managers enough flexibility to build the sites they need.
The guide is a living document; as the University and local web managers’ needs evolve, new components and other elements can be added.
If you have questions or requests for the style guide, contact digitalcommunications@admin.cam.ac.uk.
All templates and components in this guide are responsive. They are designed to appear optimally on any device: desktop PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone.
But the guidelines cannot (and should not) specify layouts to the last detail. A particular arrangement of components that looks fine on a desktop PC may not on a smaller tablet or mobile screen. Testing your site designs on a variety of screen sizes is therefore essential.
Tip: to see how a template or component in the guide will look at smaller screen widths, drag your browser window smaller.
