By convention, web pages differ from other documents. Here are a few pointers to good web style:
- if a web page is not visible on a single 17" screen, it's often best to split the page
- never underline, easily confused with links
- don't use CAPITALS (considered rude - 'shouting') - use a heading or bold instead
- the majority of text in standard format (no embellishment or colour)
- emphasise rarely and where absolutely necessary using bold
- keep text short, no need for full English grammar
- use lists, easy to read
- include relevant links
- don't put full-stops in acronyms (AGM not A.G.M., eg not e.g.)
local standards
For consistency, additional standards are desirable. These are the ones adopted by GCS
- capitalise only first letters in titles and headings
- subsiduary headings usually h3 (the default)
- telephone numbers: (01483) 304234
- 24 hour clock for times: 19:30
- works: Composer Name of Work
