Site Compliance

Links should be embedded in content in this format, not referenced and then listed separately. Do not underline regular text, only links have underlines (instead, use italics for emphasis as needed, or the Sub-Area of Content info listed below). Regular font is Poppins 15px and dark gray or black. Introduction information should be at the top of the page since there is a header. Content regarding the introduction should be placed here.

All information should be left aligned. No centering of titles, photos, or text. Left alignment maintains consistency in the page design to line up nicely with the left navigation links and is optimal for mobile device viewing. All spacing must be single spacing (i.e. the Phone and Fax listings below). Phone number format is as shown below (xxx-xxx-xxxx). All email addresses should be listed with the link only and a reference, not the email address, as shown below.

• Bullet Point List Format
• Use Square Bullets

NOTE: If you're editing an existing list on a page into bullet points, it will shift the entire page. You must click before the first letter in the first word of the list you want to make into bullets and click on the dropdown in the editing menu for bullet points, choose the square. It will only edit that line. Backspace the following lines and then press enter (one by one) to reformat the list.

Under Additional Headers in your page, you'll sometimes have sub-areas to highlight, to do that use the format shown here. Use Poppins 15px, bold, italic, dark gray.
