U of M Communications Tools

Web Depot Makeover

Web Depot has expanded to include standards and templates for electronic communications beyond the Web. Check out the social networking guidelines, PowerPoint standards, and the standards and templates for mass e-mail.

E-mail Standards and HTML E-mail Templates

Primarily for mass e-mail, these standards and templates will help you create more effective e-mail communications.

Web Standards and Web Templates

All the standards and templates from Web Depot are still here, they're just packaged a little differently.

Show Off Your Digital Communications

Web sites—E-mail the link to your Web site design using the new Web templates. We'll add your site to the list of template users.

HTML e-mail—Send in your HTML e-mail using the e-mail templates to showcase your solution with the University community.

Template Updates

Changes made to Web or e-mail template coding can be found on the Template Change Log. E-mail webdepot@umn.edu with any questions or suggestions.

Web and e-mail publishing checklists

Use these checklists to make sure you know the basics before you publish a Web site or send your mass e-mail.

Standards on the horizon

Work is underway on standards for audio, video, and blogs. Please contact us if you'd like to be part of the discussion or if you have questions.
