5. Navigation and Link Requirements

This section identifies navigation/link requirements for all “Official” pages of Siena College’s website. Some requirements have been implemented by the provided templates.

1. Each page must provide a link to the Siena College Homepage.
2. Images used as navigation links must provide text cues to indicate the link’s destination. This is accomplished by editing the “advisory title” under the Advanced-tab in the images properties.
3. Siena College reserves the right to designate official icons for exclusive use as links.
4. All text signifying a link within the body of the page must be in hex color of #770a0a.
5. Keep link text short and to the point.
6. A link to Siena College’s Web Disclaimers Page must be provided on the footer of each page – Each page author is responsible for understanding and abiding by Siena College’s disclaimers concerning damages, server warranties, links to commercial sites, copyright/intellectual property, defamation, print vs. electronic media, unofficial pages and other issues.
7. Links that have redirects to other sites should have "target_blank" location set (open in new window/tab). This best practice allows users to understand that the link that was clicked took them to an external site.
