Text
The UNK website uses a CSS style sheet to set the font to "Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" on each page. The Veranda font is a sans-serif font that is easier to read on a computer screen. If Veranda is not installed on the viewer's computer then the font defaults to Arial. If Arial is not installed then Helvetica is used. If even Helvetica is not installed then the closest sans-serif font is substituted.

Graphics
Graphics for the banners at the top of each page, buttons to the home page, site navigation, and UNK logos are automatically provided in the templates used in the Ektron CMS system at UNK. Common images such as campus maps and UNK logos can be resized and provided to campus "pagemasters" if requested.

If you would like assistance in locating a photo or formatting an image, please contact the webmaster@unk.edu

Styles
The Ektron system used at UNK allows the use of "styles" to format text for both color and size. The style colors will change in accordance to the template colors. Below is a listing of the most commonly used styles and their examples.
