Visual Guidelines

Visual guidelines that define company-wide standards for user interface design.

Context

The company needed a central repository of user interface design standards and guidance, which it had never had before.

Solution

The guidelines are a Web-based series of short topics which provide specific hints and requirements for designing user interface elements (wizards, dialog boxes, etc.). The content has a comprehensive index, is searchable, and includes many visual examples.

What I Like

I think we did a very good job of improving upon other guideline works (such as The Windows User Experience) by skipping some of the more theoretical information and jumping straight to specific guidelines. I also love the overall visual theme and color scheme.

What I'd Change

I am quite happy with the visual design; I would like to improve the accessibility and searchability of the content.
