When I think of publishers and series of digital medieval studies, the first two that spring to mind are SEENET (Society of Early English and Norse Electronic Texts) and SDE (Scholarly Digital Editions). Are there others? I'm particularly interested in finding series or publishers with several digital studies published, and, even better, any that have developed a house style adopted by more than one project (i.e. not just several volumes issued by the same project, but also several projects in the same press/series).
Appreciate any help!

Well, yes.. you can see the 'house style' of SDE on our website: follow the 'view sample' links and you will see that Monarchia/NP/ PROME/Miller/Hengwrt all follow a similar style. PROME is interesting here as it is rather different from the others, so you will see rather a lot of differences between PROME and the others: but even so, the overall frame is common. There is a lot to be said about this issue: and we are conscious now of some deficiencies in this design. It has served us well, however, and there is life in the dog still. An advantage is that if you like one, you'll like them all -- but the reverse is also true.
Two other publishers Dan does not mention are 'Rotunda': the University of Virginia Electronic Imprint , and the HRI online imprint of the University of Sheffield. Rotunda seems to have a uniform approach to its 'letters' volumes, but I could not tell whether the Typee and Clotel volumes are similar. HRI appears to tailor each interface for each publication. But really, I have not done a very detailed look at what they have done, or for that matter at Rotunda. Nor have I looked at any of the recent publications from SEENET. Maybe someone else has looked at these more thoroughly than I have. Peter
