I like how direct the landing page for Ghent University feels. Instead of burying visitors in layers of submenus, it uses an embedded video introduction right alongside three plain core pillars: foundation principles, templates, and website guidelines. The Dutch copy is paired with bilingual language switching and a direct contact link for brand questions. It sets up an approachable entrance to university branding, clearly previewing essentials like logos, typography, paper selection, and digital templates before asking anyone to dive into detailed sections.

What I could not see
- Only the homepage was captured, so subpages for basis principles, templates, and websites could not be inspected.
- No downloadable files or asset links were directly visible on the captured screen.
Ideas to borrow
- Embedding a short introductory video right on the style guide homepage provides a quick, engaging summary of the brand before readers explore detailed documentation.1
