Design Relaunch Guidelines

In addition to our general FA EMEA internal website guidelines, please observe some important guidelines for the Design Relaunch.

New Web Design = New Approach

We will prepare some more guidelines which we kindly ask you to observe for building new pages in future.

We will inform you about any news in Teams.

Publish to UAT and PROD UPDATE

Publication to UAT will publish any the changes to the old and new UAT design automactically. It is the same checkbox in Contentstack.

Publish to UAT in Contentstack

UPDATE

You will probably have made various changes on existing web pages or in Contentstack and so far published them to UAT only.

If you don’t publish to Prod, the new design elements and changes will not appear on Prod after the relaunch.

However, it will be your decision when you will do it for your individual local landing, service or support pages. You have the following options:

• Publish all new design related changes you make form now on to UAT and Prod.

  • In some cases, this may lead to small “issues” in the old design, e.g. small images when a full-size woudl be more appropriate.

  • Take care to do so for any updates you made before.

• Continue publishing any changes to UAT only. Publish them to PROD a week before the relaunch.

  • We may need to freeze any publication for deployment reasons.

  • Take care not to forget.

• Publish to PROD after the Design relaunch.

  • Take care not to forget.

For localized central pages, please follow the approach of the Digital Marketing team, i.e.

• Publish all new design related changes you make to UAT and Prod.

  • Please follow the instructions provided by the Digital Marketing team.

Examples:

1. If you made a full-size image 1/3 width, in the old design the image may appear too small for a few weeks

2. If you use the new h4 or h5 headlines for the new design, in the old design, they will appear as h1.

3. If you use an “image headline”, and take a sentence out of the existing text field for that, in the old design, this sentence will be missing.

Indication of Changes in Contentstack

In the course of the Design Relaunch, all web pages will get the new design by default. This includes local web pages (e.g. in Service and Support) and all Landing Pages (/lp).

Some design updates required new modules or the update of existing ones. Other existing modules will be deleted.

 Unfortunately, Contentstack will look a bit “messy” for a certain period of time. We will clean it up step by step and as soon as possible.
