All department pages (on www and www2) must have the following elements:

The department has two options if it wants to share information about one or more of its divisions:

  • If creating multiple division pages, add a Divisions group heading below the Explore this section. Display division pages below this heading. See Figure 1 - Public Works department.
  • If creating one division page that briefly descirbes or lists the divisions, create a Divisions page and display it under Explore this section. It should be the section tile to appear under Explore this section. The first tile is What we do. See Figure 2 - Regulatory Services department.
