Official Banner

The Official Banner identifies official Louisiana Government websites.

On this page:

Best Practices

  • The Official Banner is placed at the top of public-facing websites or web applications.
  • If your digital product will only be presented in English, you may omit the column with the language selector buttons.
  • Do not customize the Official Banner other than to omit the language selector buttons.

Note: This doesn’t contain the code for switching language, only the markup used to present the buttons used to switch language.

Usage

Louisiana State Seal.

An official Louisiana.gov website.

The .gov means it’s official.

Louisiana government websites often end in .gov. Before sharing sensitive information, make sure you’re on a Louisiana government site.

The site is secure.

The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the official website and that any information you provide is encrypted and transmitted securely.
