Decription of Proposal
 
In conjunction with Karen Feeney, our ENS/BCS contract website maintenance person, a modified page title and subtitle color scheme hierarchy (part of the Style Guide). Currently our Style Guide on page 3, under "Typeface, size and colors", specifies:
 
Page Title Arial Size 17 Bold (Level 1) - Color: Avocado Green
Heading Arial Size 16 Bold (Level 2) - Color: French Blue
Subheading Arial Size 14 Bold (Level 3) - Color: Black
Text Arial Size 14 - Color: Black
 
 
We are proposing a change to this color scheme as follows:
 
Page Title Arial Size 17 Bold (Level 1) - Color: Avocado Green
Heading Arial Size 16 Bold (Level 2) - Color: Blue-Black
Subheading Arial Size 14 Bold (Level 3) - Color: French Blue
Text Arial Size 14 - Color: Black
 
This is a modest change. The hyperlink  color remains French Blue.  "Blue-Black" is the color of the links on the site menu in the left-hand menu column.  Blue-Black makes the Headings stand out better and rank more strongly than having them in French Blue.  Additionally they match the menu links on the left in terms of color.  Making the Subheading French Blue instead of Black, reduces the nearly overwhelming amount of French Blue on the site.
 
We have produced the Births & Baptisms page in two versions so that you can more readily see the difference:
 
 
 
Please provide your reactions/comments via Reply comment. Hopefully we will have concensus or near concensus. If we do then I will instruct Karen to adjust the colors of the website pages over the coming weeks.
 
Thanks! == Bob Brodbeck
