Description
After interviewing a dozen people with Brad Frost for their podcast on Style Guides for the web, Anna has collated all their findings for this talk on the different kinds that are out there, how they’re built, what works (and what doesn’t), and what makes them such a useful tool.
She’ll give you a tour of some style guides built by companies with a range of different needs and requirements, and you’ll learn how to build your own using a range of possible technologies.
Most importantly, she’ll show you how to make sure they don’t get forgotten at the end of the project, and ways that it can be kept up to date as living documentation well after a site has gone live.
