This is how we put the site together. Top-level items, like the grid system, typography and navigation.
Basic page structure
Every normal page follows the same basic structure. We use an HTML5 doctype:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Then in the head section:
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="author" content="University of York">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<meta name="description" content="" />
<title>...</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="https://www.york.ac.uk/static/stable/img/favicon.ico">
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="https://www.york.ac.uk/static/stable/img/favicon.ico">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://www.york.ac.uk/static/stable/css/styles.min.css">
<script src="https://www.york.ac.uk/static/stable/js/modernizr.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.york.ac.uk/static/stable/js/app.min.js"></script>
<!-- Typekit script -->
<script src="//use.typekit.net/dvj8rpp.js"></script>
<script>try{Typekit.load();}catch(e){}</script>
</head>
The body of the page should contain a main header, wrapper and footer, and can optionally include a page title, a main nav and a breadcrumb.
<body>
<header class="c-main-header" role="banner">...</header>
<div class="o-wrapper o-wrapper--wide c-page-title__wrapper o-grid">...</div>
<nav class="c-nav c-nav--main" role="navigation" id="Main-Navigation">...</nav>
<div class="c-breadcrumb">...</div>
<div class="o-wrapper o-wrapper--main o-grid js-wrapper--main">...</div>
<footer class="c-footer-main" role="contentinfo">...</footer>
</body>
