Web Management Guidelines
DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Web site receives millions of visits each year and is a popular gateway to hundreds of Web pages and documents on energy efficiency and renewable energy. The prominence of the EERE Web site, coupled with our need to promote EERE's key messages and provide users with up-to-date information, requires us to have a professional presence that our customers can recognize. To this end, we have developed standards and guidelines for developing all EERE sites.
All Web sites (including programs, subsites, and office sites) funded by DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy should follow these standards. The Web Management Guidelines in this section should be used in conjunction with the Web Content Guidelines and the Web Technical Guidelines.
The standards and guidelines will evolve as new needs are raised. Contact the Web Template Coordinator for questions about your particular site.
The Web Management Guidelines cover the following topics:
