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.

The KSB logo is located in the top-left section of the website, indicating the sender. Its

specified dimensions are 107 x 48 pixels.

The KSB logo has been internationally registered as a trademark and cannot be changed.

It consists of the letters “KSB” in this sequence and the circulation symbol which com-

bine to form the company logo.

The brand claim and the line summarising the range of products and services (Pumps,

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 brand claim may not be alienated. The brand claim and the line summarising the

range of products and services (Pumps, Valves, Service) may not be displayed separately

from one another. The brand claim appears on all web applications, such as websites,

microsites and pump lexicon.

The brand claim is not included on websites of KSB subsidiaries with independent

corporate brands.

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.

KSB website style guide | 2. Structure and page types

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.

Beside this, there is a column displaying the navigation, providing a quick overview of

the site as well as access to all relevant information. There may be room for content teas-

ers and the navigator in the margin column.

The search results page layout does not feature the navigation column for the content

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

single-column layout, as is also used on the contact page, for instance.

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.

The process display divides a given process into multiple steps; it is illustrated below via

the application process, by way of example. The user’s current step is highlighted and is

thus very clear to them. This enables a clear presentation of a given process.

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.

1.1 Basic grid

resolution of a width of 320 pixels. All pixel values defined on the following pages are

therefore only relevant for this resolution.
