F5 Sites Design Guidelines

In our first attempt to uniform all our projects designs, making a similar look, like when you are in a Google, Amazon, Microsoft or Apple product you kind of know, even if you don’t really know why you know, you pretty sure that the sense and fell makes you fell like you are in “home”. That’s because they have a consistent design with some rules that guide all they products.

So F5 Sites started developing our first design guidelines, they started simple, but we think the rules will become more fit-able and better with time passes, so our first design guidelines are:

  • Top bar over all products
  • Logo font: Lobster
  • Color:
    • F5 blue: #03659c
    • F5 light blue: #549ed1
    • Ubuntu orange: #FF5919
    • Darkest gray: #3F3F3F
    • Dark gray: #888888
    • Light gray: #EEEEEE
    • Dark green: #398439
    • Light green: #449d44
    • Gold: #E2D693
  • Custom posts and products thumbnails

For now that is all, in future we are predicting paddings and margins for some elements. They will be applied whenever I can, for now they just exists and are being implemented without a deadline, but nothing new will be developed without following this strict.
