Testimonial: titles follow the format 'first name' + 'last name' + 'about' + 'subject'. For example:

Image titles
A good title is short, powerful and a good description of what you see in the image. Also include a search term in the title so that the image can be found by Google. As a user, you see the title when you move your mouse over an image. Add the title text in Dutch and English (in the 'Translate' tab).

Telephone numbers
Always format telephone numbers like this:

Tables
We use tables to display:
- data, such as the numbers of students by faculty;
- comparisons, such as the advantages of different software packages or studies.
A table should also be easy to view on mobile. This amounts to about 3 to max 4 columns.
Link to content in another language
If you link from an English text to a Dutch page, or vice versa, indicate this using (in Dutch) or (in English) after the link. For example:
- Read more about our subprojects (in Dutch).
