Style Guide

A brief style guide on adding equipment pages to the PerfTech website.

First, take a look at this example page:

Then, follow these points:

Include the full make/model name in the equipment page’s title.
Avoid abbreviations.
Format your post as found on the above-linked example page.
On each equipment page, provide a brief description, a section called Basic Controls, and then a section called Tips.
The brief description, Basic Controls section, and Tips section are probably best taken from the manual, and then summarized as appropriate.
Include photos in the Equipment Images section of at least the front and rear of the device, plus any other important angles.
- Images can be obtained from the manufacturer’s site and from Google images.
Use the image of the front of the device as the Featured Image for the post.
Upload a manual in the Equipment Documents section.
- Most manuals can be obtained from the manufacturer’s website.
- Note that several manuals have already been collected in the PerfTech gDocs account.
- Keep the original file name intact, and if it’s an obscure name, then also add a short descriptor to the beginning, e.g., “Manual-distressor_aodty38hd.pdf”
Provide links to videos that give useful information about the device.
Check the box labelled “Equipment” in the Categories box.
Add any pertinent Tags in the Tag box.
Select the appropriate Types and Locations in their respective boxes.
Press Publish.
