Plain English Foundation

Want to know the secrets of successful templates?

Templates are a critical communication tool for businesses. When done well, they:

  • reduce the time spent drafting and reviewing documents
  • improve your relationship with your customers
  • reinforce your brand.

But too often, templates are poorly designed or out of date.

Over the years, we’ve developed hundreds of templates, so we know what does and doesn’t work. 

Join a free 30-minute webinar, and we’ll let you in on a few of our template secrets.
