>We are in the process of putting together guidelines to use when writing
>homepages within our company.  We are not so much looking at details, as much
>as we are looking at the philisophical aspects of homepage construction.
>Things such as why do you want to construct a homepage, what should be included
>on it, what criteria should be set for adding a link, when do graphics enhance
>and when do they take away, etc.
>
>Has anyone written such guidelines?  I have seen several examples included on
>university homepages, but they usually address standardization issues such as
>what graphics are required, common wording or headings, etc.
>
>I would be particularly interested in hearing from corporate libraries.
