Use the right language for the right audience.

Spot those pesky errors that sneak in when you’re not looking.
Easy and accessible
Make it easy for people to see and understand what you’re saying.
Craft your message well and make it accessible to everyone.
Writing
Your words, how they fit together, and how relatable they are to your reader, are all important aspects of your messaging. Aim for clear and concise, along with consistency and correctness.
Wrong words, repetition, consistency, typos, punctuation mistakes, logic errors, fluffy words. These are distractions and can affect trust and credibility. You won’t spot all the mistakes or wordy prose yourself – you’re too close to it. An unbiased third party can make all the difference.
Not everyone sees like you, can move like you, or understands like you. Not everyone uses the same devices as you. Make it easy to access your information so people can find your words, read your words, and hear your message.
