The following templates and standards have been created in order to help you develop a consistent look and feel for the University of Maryland websites. Please review the information below and if you have any questions or need further information, please contact the Web Development department.

Web Development Standards:

• Coldfusion Application Development: is primarily the responsiblity of the CITS Web Development Department. In the event a web developer/staff from any department, school, or administrative unit wants to develop/change a Coldfusion application, form, or file on the UMB webserver - you must contact a member of the Web Development Department in order to make sure that settings, database connectivity, and security are applied correctly. In addition, the content should follow the Coldfusion Web Development Standards in order to prevent negative impact to other sytems, applications, and servers.
  
  
• General Web Development using HTML: each of the seven schools and the administrative units are responsible for maintaining the content for their own web pages. The web developers/staff from each school or administrative unit will have the ability to make these changes as required without additional review or approval from the CITS Web Development Department. It is recommended that the following standards be followed for this type of development; in addition to the templates, style guide, colors, and seal described below.
