We’ll help you get your point across.
With plain language.
There is a language that 95% of people understand. It’s called plain language.
Plain language means we adapt your text to the generally understandable level B1.
Most texts that we encounter in our everyday life assume a good knowledge of the language: websites, brochures, manuals, contracts, insurance policies. Most people don’t understand them; 60% of people only have a middling grasp of a language (B1 level).
Plain language creates trust.
And means you don’t have to provide so much support.
Writing your success story. With texts that actually are undestood.
Patients know how long to wait before eating.
Because the discharge checklist is written clearly.
Insurance can be completed online.
Because the costs and benefits are clear. No need for a consultation.
Residents fill in forms correctly.
Because they know what’s needed without having to ask.
Where can I sign?
Contracts are understood immediately. So they’re also concluded more quickly.
Don’t stress the small print.
Customers trust their bank because they understand what they’re getting.
Tailor-made for digitalization.
Website texts that can be understood immediately, without help.
We’ll make your texts a pleasure to read. For everyone.
