Web Content Style Guide
This style guide helps us write clear and consistent content across Los Rios websites. Please use it as a reference when you’re writing for the web.
This guide is not traditional in format or content. Writing for the web is different than writing for books, manuals, lectures, or correspondence. We break a number of grammar rules for clarity, practicality, or preference.
If you have questions, please email CRC's Public Information Office.
