Every website is structured as follows:

• Header 1 with Language switch and Login
• Header 2 with Logo, Institution title, Search and Quick access
• Main menu – horizontally arranged with 6 menu items maximum
• Page content
• Footer with contact and service areas 

The horizontally arranged main menu must comprise of 6 menu items maximum with names as short as possible. The second and third menu levels are summarized so that the entire third level is visible after clicking the main menu item. The second menu level serves for structuring only and, thus, cannot be clicked. 8 menu items maximum are possible on the second level where 4 maximum can be placed side by side. It is recommended for a better overview to pay attention to an arrangement of the menu items on the third level as uniform and balanced as possible.

The quick access is intended for a collection of links to particularly relevant main navigation pages. Two columns with links maximum can be inserted.

The contact information of the institution must be indicated in the footer. The items “Imprint”, “Data protection” and “Site map” are firmly integrated under “Service”. The content of the point “Site map” can be adapted to your requirements. The links to Facebook and Youtube are predefined.

Site map

The university sites can be accessed via the geoportal linked here.

You can name a spot on the map via the meeting point function and will receive a link that you may integrate into the website of your institution. Thus, any intended section of Rostock can be displayed in a selected magnification.

The maps can be also used for print products with reference to the geoportal.

Map sections can be marked with connectible topics (e.g. stops) and edited as PDF file via the item Print map section. PDF files can be opened and processed with the newer Photoshop versions.

• Slide show as image design of the page
• Teaser box
• Image gallery
