Voice & Tone

Brand personality, error messages, and copywriting rules

How we speak to our users is just as important as how our products look. Our voice must be consistent, clear, and helpful.

Principles

Our voice is human, concise, and guiding. We want users to feel confident and in control when using our tools.

Voice and Tone Placeholder

Voice vs. Tone

  • Voice: The underlying personality of the brand. It never changes. We are professional but approachable.
  • Tone: How we adapt our voice depending on the situation. For example, our tone is more serious in an error message than in a success notification.

Best Practices

  • Use active voice whenever possible.
  • Avoid jargon or overly technical terms unless writing for a technical audience.
  • Keep sentences short and to the point.
  • Be polite but avoid excessive use of "please" or "thank you".
