| Portal Page Specifications
The DC portal design standards are very exact—there is little room for interpretation. They are, however, updated often to reflect the changing needs of the users.
Home Page Sandbox
There should be two cells within the sandbox:
- The left cell contains the Services, Information, and agency-specific topics links; this cell should have a fixed width of 310 pixels.
- The right cell contains the news headline, and should auto span the remaining screen width.
- The agency logo should be flush right.
