  • Writing for Everyone Learn about the principles and writing techniques we use to create a more inclusive, accessible product.

  • Grammar and Mechanics Learn how we use punctuation, capitalization, and other technical elements to communicate clearly and consistently.

  • Common Content Learn how we style content within common elements and surfaces like emails and error messages.

  • Preferred Terms Learn about the words we do and don’t use at Thumbtack.
