As web pages on the College of Business Administration (COBA) website are viewed, the site visitor gains an impression of the College, its course offerings and programs, its faculty, and its facilities. Our audience includes current and prospective students, parents, faculty and staff, and the general community, as well as businesses and industry seeking to educate their employees or hire COBA students. We must ensure as positive an experience as possible for all visitors to our website. Toward this goal, this Web Style Guide was developed to ensure appropriate use and consistency of basic information and appearance among websites on the COBA domains. The guidelines provide rules for basic content, branding and web accessibility, but allow flexibility in additional content, function, and design. The Web Style Guide sets content requirements and guidelines for the look and feel of COBA websites whether they reside on COBA web servers or at an off-site web host.
Each website maintainer is responsible for meeting the requirements of the guidelines for the website(s) he/she maintains and for reviewing the site(s) periodically for updates.
Strong emphasis must be placed on web security. UTA Security guidelines can be found at the UT Arlington Web Style Guidelines link. The University is very sensitive to the use of non-secure applications and/or servers on campus and the college/departments will be held accountable for any violations. Over the next few months, the UTA Security group will provide more information regarding the University's security policies.
Please check this site periodically for changes to the COBA styles and guidelines.
Send questions, comments, or suggestions regarding these standards to Webmaster.
