Section 7.1 Maintain a style guide that supports health literacy

A content style guide helps keep the voice, tone, language, topics, images, and grammar consistent across your site or product — regardless of the author. Think of your style guide as a “living” document, meaning that it’s updated frequently. In addition to basic word choice and grammar decisions, consider including guidance related to:

  • Clear and respectful language 
  • Image selection
  • Conversational tone 
  • Plain language
