Government Website Publishing Guide - Department of Business and Innovation

The guide's specific focus is web content. It provides some general rules of usage, presentation and spelling.

The guide helps to:

  • establish a basic set of conventions to help keep the language, look, feel and meaning of each page of the site consistent, no matter how many writers are involved in the creation of content
  • set a consistent standard for the presentation of content elements such as headings, text, links and images
  • set a consistent standard for the way content is written
  • set a standard way to write commonly used words or acronyms across the site
  • provide a reference point for resolving inconsistencies or conflicting opinions about spelling or word usage
  • provide guidance on the presentation of content to aid in Search Engine Optimisation of a page
  • ensure WoVG Web Standards are adhered to
  • provide consistency for the lifetime of the site as new writers and editors join and leave the team.
