ACU Digital Standards is a systemisation of the ACU design for ACU's digital touch-points or websites. These standards are important for the following reasons.

• To align digital (web) standards with the ACU brand
• To provide a library of ready to utilise, user interface (UI) modules.
• To improve efficiencies in application development and maintenance, including work by third party contractors
• To support a consistent user experience of the ACU brand throughout its digital touchpoints
• To establish shared processes and governance so as to improve digital design practices across the University.

These standards should be of use to the following roles:

• Interface designers
• Developers
• Digital producers and editors
• Digital project managers, business and systems analysts, and Agile scrum masters (etc)
• Content writers
• Owners, managers and coordinators of ACU digital applications (or web systems).

We have divided this site into the following sections:

• Design principles (and guides) - to help guide  our work
• Foundations - the base elements or atoms used on our designs
• Components - user interface components or organisms
• Page templates - see how all these elements are brought together.

This site is  in beta. Best to use on desktop sized screens. Please send feedback to Paul Hudson.
