You know your industry inside out. You know the technical terms, the acronyms, and the specs. It’s tempting to put all of that on your website to show you are an expert.
Don't do it.
The "Curse of Knowledge"
When you use jargon, you alienate your customer. If a customer is looking for "air conditioning repair," they don't want to read about "HVAC variable refrigerant flow systems."
They just want to know: "Can you make my house cold again?"
Clear Beats Clever
The best websites speak like a human being. They use simple, direct language. Compare these two:
- Bad: "We provide comprehensive illumination solutions for residential infrastructure."
- Good: "We fix your lights."
The second one is faster to read, easier to understand, and feels more honest.
It Builds Trust
When you explain things simply, people trust you. Jargon feels like you're hiding something or trying to confuse them into paying more. Plain English feels honest, transparent, and approachable.
