Use accessible webpages and email to market content to users who can't access print and print documents for locations where they can access it.

Event Webpage Examples

With the content management system Drupal Web Express, several types of webpages can be created to replace uploading and linking to PDF files and other types of documents. By default when one creates webpages and follows the instructions for working to ensure accessibility in webpages, content and layout are accessible and comply with requirements sites have to follow to meet standards and laws for accessiblity. With training, website editors and site owners can create compelling web content and layouts in many ways and with several layouts and combinations. Below are some examples of the types of event webpages that users can create to help limit the use of print based documents that are difficult to create and remediate for accessibiity. Contact the CLAS Webmaster for help with any event or other webpages in CLAS websites.

Event Webpage Reminders

Events can be about any number of things and have all kinds of content. What they share in common, however, is that they have an event date, duration and location. They might be events that feature speakers, in which case it's helpful to have biographical information.

If content about the event is developed in a PDF file containing photos and text graphics for print, ask the creator for the source material (text and photos, not text images) from which the print document was created.

Note: The university event management system Localist will only allow linking to event webpages and not pdf files. Users are also prevented from including text graphics and logos.

Include only photos and, if required, logos of possible sponsors. Don't include images of text. Logos or logotypes are a type of image of text that normally have minimal text that can adequately be provided in the alt text. Sometimes event sponsors may require the display of their logos, making them essential, and they are often designed into print formats (event program or flier perhaps). Don't design a logo for the event and include it in the page.

It's also not necessary to include your department logo or wordmark because the webpage is already branded for CU Denver and the college. For additional information or for guidance, contact the CLAS Webmaster.

Other Types of Webpages

These examples demonstrate how to create webpages for events, but the same kind of layouts can be used to feature courses, professors, programs, etc.
