Writing for the Web

Create User-Friendly Web Content

Forget everything you think you know about writing. Writing for the web is unlike any other writing you have ever done. It's not like writing for a brochure or poster; it's not like writing a report or a news article; and it's not a place to showcase how cute or clever you are, or how smart you are.

Writing for the web demands brevity, simplicity, and accessibility. It's a unique skill that requires training, even for a communications expert.

New Portal Theme

Portal Theme

Themes are the part of Drupal that you, and anyone else visiting your Drupal powered application, see when they view any page in their browser. It’s also the set of files that define the visual look and feel of your site.

We recently developed a new theme (the Portal Theme) that we rolled out on nc.gov.  (We also previewed it at our last Lunch and Learn). You may also check out Our NC Military or NC Able for examples of the new theme as well.
