Site Design

---

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.

Eight Color Schemes Available to Choose From: Light Blue Grey and Dark Grey Burgundy and Grey Forest Green and Grey Black and Grey Navy Blue and Grey Red and Blue Blue and Yellow   Custom Color Schemes are available at additional cost

Customizable Areas

The customizable areas consist of the middle section and the right column. In these areas you may change the colors as well as add any photos, topics, links, sections or anything else appropriate for your site. You may chose a two-column or three-column layout (as shown above).

Partially Customizable Areas

The partially customizeable areas consist of the left navigational column, the top navigational row and the right section of the top banner. Colors, layout and images will remain the same but link names and titles can be altered. Individual photos and buttons may be added to navigational areas as long as they do not stray too far from the template layout.
