These guidelines have been developed to aid designers working on NCSL websites.
It is essential that materials follow a house style so that all NCSL output, whether online or in hard copy, is consistent in approach and application of attractive, high impact and recognisable design.
A common set of standards is necessary in order to promote the NCSL brand, provide a consistent message, and increase usability and accessibility of materials.
Please contact the Web team at webteam@ncsl.org.uk if you have any queries about this guide or need further information.
