1. Best practice tips

You can see an example of a well-presented office page by looking at an exemplar office below.

You should bear in mind the following when adding offices to arup.com:

  • Your introduction / summary content is vital - try not to make this content too long, summarise your office succinctly. You can use the related projects area to highlight key projects by your office, rather than the rich text area.
  • Another reason to avoid lengthy office descriptions: the narrow width of the columns for rich text means that a long intro could hide the related projects content, which encourages users to explore the site further.
  • Make sure that the office address and contact details are present, correct and up to date. This information is vital for users.
  • Ensure that related projects for the office have been selected - it is better to show these are related content (see below or example) than a collection of links in your office description
  • Ensure that any news specifically relating to your office has been selected
  • You need to keep 'related content' up to date. Because this content is manually selected, it will remain permanently in place until you or a colleague change it. It is important to remember this and ensure that you update it once publishing important news or projects etc.
