Unless otherwise approved by the Office of State Finance, state agency Web sites in the OK.gov Content Management System utilize the Standardized State Agency Template. The template was created to produce a more cohesive look and navigation for all of Oklahoma's state agencies. By doing this, a stronger sense of trust is created for the end user. By using similar layout and graphics, the end user will always know that they are visiting an Oklahoma government Web site. Although the navigational link locations and layout are to remain essentially the same, some graphical elements and colors may be altered to help agencies differentiate themselves and have their own distinctive look.
