Style Guide Home

These style guides define how we write for DigitalOcean. When your writing conflicts with our style guides or our style guides don’t cover a specific case, follow the Microsoft style guide.

The following style guides outline the voice we use when writing for and about DigitalOcean, as well as our decisions on grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and other elements of style.

Above all, we make choices to provide clarity for readers. We also standardize details to keep our documentation consistent and to prevent contributors from repeatedly making the same stylistic decisions.
