Insight Style Guide

To maintain a consistent organization and look-and-feel for users, content authors should start from the same playbook.

Branding, Colors and Fonts

Insight has been designed to automatically use Vision's branding and colors, so no special color matching is generally needed. But if you need specific colors and logo rules please refer to the Vision branding style guide.

Image Dimensions

While there is no maximum height for rotating image banners, keep all images within one banner the same height for the cleanest look.

Avoid using grainy or low-resolution images. Recommended file formats are PNG for screenshots and JPG for photos.

If wrapping text around an image, keep the image less than 300 pixels wide and add at least 10 pixels of space between image and text.

Content Format

Unless otherwise indicated, text- and image-based content that can readily exist on webpages generally should be made into a page.

If the content is regularly shared with clients (e.g. project implementation phases), ideally both document and page versions should exist, with the page linking to the document.

Spreadsheets and presentation files generally do not lend themselves to webpage format and can be uploaded to Document Central and linked to instead of adapted to a page.

Jargon

If your audience includes departments who do not work with your team often, attempt to explain department-specific jargon or technical terms in common language other departments can understand.

Web-safe Characters

Certain characters such as slanted quotation marks (“”) or m-dashes (—) from Microsoft Word translate poorly to webpages and sometimes fail to render on certain devices.

If you€»ve ever seen strange characters☐like in the middle of a sentence☐the editor€»s text=
may have been pasted from another program like Microsoft Word. Don€»t let it happen to youÅ

For a better reader experience, minimize copying and pasting from Word if possible, or try to replace those characters with their web-safe versions:
