Feinberg School Web Guidelines
The Feinberg School of Medicine Web guidelines are carefully crafted to deliver a successful user experience - the greatest benefits to the greatest number of users. The guidelines are also designed to promote a consistent identity and brand strategy across all Feinberg organizations. They supersede any units' internal standards.
Our web guidelines were updated in June 2011 to keep in line with industry best practices and to address stakeholder feedback.
All departmental/unit web sites must adhere to Feinberg School of Medicine web guidelines as outlined in this section.
