Plain English
Say what you mean, simply and clearly
Website content is easier to understand if it is written in a plain, easy-to-read style.
Plain English principles also apply to layout and design.
Plain English can be applied to websites in terms of:
- Structure – logical order
- Key information – stands out clearly
- Headings – informative
- Layout – consistent and easy on the eye
- Words and grammar – unambiguous everyday usage

We took over this website as an emergency job, made repairs and added a temporary shopping basket system as stop-gap measure.
Years later, the site continues unchanged!
