Support for implementationThe Manual
This website is a guide to implementing the Web Guidelines on websites. Information is organised around two different perspectives: your role and the process. Each perspectives presents the same information, albeit in a different order.
Roles
In the process of tendering and constructing a website, roughly three roles can be distinguished. By selecting a role, you’ll get an overview of the relevant sections of the manual.
- Principal / Project manager
The chapters for the principal / project manager focus on the buying process of websites. You’ll find answers to questions about including the Web Guidelines in a tender and about reviewing the product at the end of the project. - Developer
The developer can access the technical information about the Web Guidelines. In particular, about implementing the Web Guidelines as well as do’s and don’ts. - Administrator
The role of an administrator starts at the end of the process. The administrator needs tips to make sure the content complies with the Web Guidelines.
To each role several chapters of the manual apply.
