Aspire Worksheet

Enhanced Signature Theme Option

If you purchased an Enhanced Signature Theme, you will complete this Aspire worksheet and complete an additional Enhanced worksheet. This Aspire worksheet will serve as the project base.

Website Colors

Once the Aspire theme is customized for your organization, the site colors are part of the design and are not editable through the CMS site manager. Aspire can be a 4 color theme but the 3rd and 4th colors are used sparingly.

If you only have 2 colors in your color palette, tons of the primary color and/or the strongest contrasting color may be used throughout the site. This will be up to the designer.

If you have a logo that uses your branding colors, we strongly recommend that you allow us to brand the site based on your logo colors. Choose the first option below - "Use my logo for site colors/branding."

Logo

Logo files must be high resolution PNG, EPS or JPG files. Transparent PNG or EPS files are preferred. Provide logos through your Basecamp project.

Aspire is designed to support a horizontal oriented logo.

Main Navigation

Aspire supports up to 6 main navigation categories with up to 13 characters/spaces each. We recommend a one word title for each category if possible. Please enter your main navigation category titles in the boxes below.

Utility Navigation

In addition to the main navigation, Aspire features utility navigation. The links will use the Links List tool and will be editable by you. There is the ability to add a maximum of 4 links with up to 10 characters each. If you wish not to use search on your site, you can add up to 6 links with 10 characters each. Placeholder text will be used in the design proofs.

Custom Search

If you would like a search box that searches your site, you'll need to set up a Google account and Google Custom Search for your organization's domain name.

Homepage Slideshow/Hero Video

The slideshow images feature an overlay with a headline, caption and a button. The position of the text as well as the style is not client editable. If you do not want the text and overlay to appear on your images, simply leave the headline, caption and link fields empty on that slide. The images for your slideshow are editable through the CMS site manager.

The headline text is editable with a maximum of 30 characters.
The caption text is editable with a maximum of 107 characters.

The homepage slideshow can have up to 8 active slides at a time to ensure quick load time. We recommend keeping the number of active slides to 5 or less.
