Get your message across in the clearest way possible! When we use plain language, also known as plain English, we write using simple and accessible language that is adapted to the reader. This helps the reader to quickly find and understand the information they need. A win-win situation that saves times and money.
To write in plain language, you start by considering the purpose of the text and who the reader is likely to be. Once you know that, you write directly to the reader using a suitable style and terminology. The information is also structured to make things easy to find. Bullet lists and short sentences and paragraphs can be helpful ways to achieve this.
We can help your organisation to use plain language by reviewing and editing your website, strategies, reports or other texts in Norwegian or English. We can also use plain language when translating your texts and can help you write new texts in plain language.
