Plain language editing

Plain language is user-friendly writing.

​​Plain language keeps the reader in mind, and makes written information clear, accurate and accessible.

It helps your readers understand your message, your clients to trust you, and your business to work more efficiently.

Plain language writing uses:

• ​clear wording, flow and structure ​
• layout and design techniques to enhance the writing.

Why you should use plain language writing

​​​​​When it's important for your readers to easily understand and use your content, it's best to use plain language techniques.

Using plain language writing in your business communications helps your reader focus on the message rather than having to pick through the style.

And if the reader is able to understand the message easily, this then flows on to benefits for your business.

​

What plain language can do for you

• Your message is understood easily and quickly
• Clients trust you and your business
• You can provide a better service to your clients
• Client and staff satisfaction is higher
• You save time and money.

Plain language can be used in government and business documents, health information, marketing, academic writing and even legal documents. ​
