ASU Template
Why
When the quality of the ASU Web presence was questioned, our top thought-leaders in branding, usability, accessibility, messaging and design were brought together to conduct a Web audit. This team concluded that our Web presence would greatly improve if everyone implemented a standard header/footer and followed a set of best practices (Web Audit Checklist). In other words, we’re all moving forward together believing that the “whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”
Who
All university Web sites that have an exclusive affiliation with ASU are mandated to use the standard header and footer.
So basically, all of us:
