Menu - Do you have a standard "Help | About" form?

Last updated by Brady Stroud [SSW] 8 months ago.See history

Every application you build should have the same "Help | About" form. The form should always display the following information:

  1. Version number
  2. URL
  3. Description of the product and what it does. Tip: This should be consistent with your standard description on the product box, website homepage, product page etc.
  4. Contact details (especially a phone number)
  5. Branding (logo)

Figure: This "Help | About" form contains all 5 elements, but has room for aesthetic improvements (old SSW design)

Figure: Good Example - This "Help | About" has the 5 elements presented better,
