Purpose

The Content Development Guide provides prescriptive guidance for writing the varied content needed within the application or website. It reminds editors and writers of general web-writing guidelines, as well as specific guidance on tone, terminology, and style for this project. For example, a website with an area targeted toward grandparents and an area aimed at children would have different recommendations for communicating effectively with each audience.

The process for developing and maintaining content may be defined in this guide or in Artifact: Business Use Case Realization.
