Web App Style Guide

[staticbob]

Hi Guys,

I've been tasked with reviewing a Silverlight application currently in beta and write a style guide that obviously never existed when the development started. There are lots of inconsitencies and bad page design throughout the app.

Would anybody know an example of a really good style guide that I can use to structure my document from? At the moment I just want to write something really generic that addresses the "quick wins". Buttons in the wrong place, order, wrong fonts, pop-up dialogues instead of new pages etc etc. Because of the nature of the app, there will be lots of exceptions to the rules, but I can address these individually afterwards.

Any suggestions appreciated. Google searches dont seem to find any useful resources/templates.

Thanks
Bob

I don't know about good but I might have an example of a style guide you can use. I will check if I still have it when I get home and post if I still have it.

Well, anything is better than what I have at the moment!

Appreciated, thanks.

I checked on my hard drive and I still have the documentation. However, it is based on user guides on how to user Microsoft Expression Web.
