About
The definitive reference on the essential elements of Web style for writers, bloggers, editors, business-people and students.
Is it Web site, website or web site? What's the best on-screen placement for a top story? How can I better know my site's audience?
The rapid growth of the Web has meant having to rely on style guides that are intended for print publishing and do not address writing for the Internet. The Yahoo! Style Guide does. This resource will cover the basics of grammar and punctuation as well as Web-specific ways to perfect a site. It includes: identifying the audience and making the site accessible to everyone; constructing a clear and compelling story; developing a site's unique voice; and streamlining text for mobile devices.
With more than a billion users worldwide, Yahoo! Is the trusted authority on all things web. The Yahoo! Style Guide is the work of many Yahoo! contributors, including past and present Yahoo! editors within Yahoo!'s editorial department, led by Senior Editorial Director Christopher Barr.
