Guiding Philosophy
With every piece of content we publish, we aim to:
💪 Empower.
Help people understand Videobolt by using language that informs them and encourages them to make the most of our platform.
🎯 Guide.
Think of yourself as a tour guide for our readers. Whether you’re leading them through our educational materials or a task on our platform, communicate in a friendly and helpful way.
🤝 Respect.
Treat readers with the respect they deserve. Put yourself in their shoes, and don’t patronize them. Remember that they have other things to do. Be considerate and inclusive. Try not to market at people — communicate with them.
📢 Speak truth.
Understand Videobolt’s place in our users’ lives. Don’t presume their view of the world, avoid dramatic storytelling and grandiose claims. Focus on our real strengths.
🎓 Educate.
Tell readers what they need to know, not just what we want to say. Give them the exact information they need, along with opportunities to learn more. Remember that you’re the expert, and readers don’t have access to everything you know. Avoid over-explaining and keep on topic, readers don’t need to know everything all at once.
In order to achieve those goals, we make sure our content is:
🔍 Clear.
Understand the topic you’re writing about. Use simple words and sentences.
🔧 Useful.
Before you start writing, ask yourself: What purpose does this serve? Who is going to read it? What do they need to know?
😊 Friendly.
Write like you’re talking to a real person. Don’t be afraid to break a few rules if it makes your writing more relatable. All of our content, from homepage copy to system alerts, should be warm and human.
👔 Appropriate.
Write in a way that suits the situation. Just like you do in face-to-face conversations, adapt your tone depending on who you’re writing to and what you’re writing about.
