In addition to print media, KSB also has an online presence. This style guide documents the main design elements of the KSB website as well as specific aspects relating to display on mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones. As web applications can vary in their objectives and functionality, the design elements cannot be adopted in their entirty. Nevertheless, this style guide gives you valuable tips regarding the design of your web application.

KSB website style guide | 1. Design basics
CartoGothic Pro should be used as the standard web font on the website. The user does
not need to have this installed in advance. It is an online alternative to the Frutiger font
that is used offline. CartoGothic Pro is to be predominantly used for headlines.
Arial, the system font, should be used for body copy, navigation elements and interactive
modules. Arial also serves as a fallback font for CartoGothic Pro.
Helvetica is used as a fallback font for Arial.
If neither of the system fonts Arial or Helvetica are installed on the user’s machine,
another sans serif font that is installed on the user’s machine is used.

KSB blue is the primary colour to be used on the website. This provides a high recogni-
tion factor and a compelling look and feel that is in line with the rest of KSB’s online
presence.
Buttons that lead to items such as newsletter registrations and KSB microsites (“call-to-
action” buttons) should be coloured orange (emphasis colour), along with the naviga-
tion arrows that appear on the home page platform when the mouse cursor is placed
over an item.
Various shades of grey and other colour gradients are also available.

Valves, Service) is always located in the top-right section and always appears in conjunc-
tion with the KSB logo. The specified size of the claim in English is 190 x 26 pixels.

The “wave” style element provides the layout with an easily recognisable formal style
and ensures that the KSB brand stands out from the competition.
The specified size of the header is 1024 x 121 pixels. In the case of larger resolutions, the
background colour white expands infinitely 121 pixels to the left and 53 pixels to the
right. The corner radius (curvature) of the wave is 12 pixels.

The newly designed KSB website is based on a 12-column grid which is optimised for the
standard resolution of 1,024 x 768 pixels. All pixel values defined in this style guide are
therefore only relevant for this resolution.

page. This allows more space for search results. The search results page layout is a typical

The layout for the individual country sites is structured in a similar manner to the .com
home page. The main difference is the closed platform. This is designed to make mainte-
nance with new images easier for in-country designers. The site’s background is enriched
through the use of a colour gradient.

Design guidelines for mobile applications
The previous pages outline the design of the KSB website for display on a desktop PC. With the mobile version, users can also view the KSB website on their smartphone. In its design, the mobile version has to accommodate for smaller screen sizes compared to desktop PCs, as well as lower potential data transmissions and a different mode of operation (“swiping”). The subsequent new design elements are displayed on the following pages and their functionality is described.
