Common Look and Feel
The Government of Canada’s Common Look and Feel (CLF) standard is defined by the Chief Information Officer Branch (CIOB) of the Treasury Board Secretariat.
This standard governs both branding & accessibility standards for government departments on the internet.
In 2000, the Canadian CLF 1.0 standard was implemented and government departments had almost two years to make their sites compliant.
In 2007, the Canadian CLF standard was revised and a 2.0 version was released.[1] Organizations were given two years to comply.
This standard comprises of the following four elements[1]:
- Part 1: Standard on Web Addresses - ie. tbs-sct.gc.ca
- Part 2: Standard on the Accessibility, Interoperability and Usability of Web sites - ie. WCAG 1.0
- Part 3: Standard on Common Web Page Formats
- Part 4: Standard on Email
