documents written for a general audience

Explanation:
We edit documents written for a general audience as well as texts on technical subjects such as nuclear medicine, ....

Variables may include research required, complexity of material, abundance or lack of source material, citing, bibliographies and so on. (For example, a highly technical web page requiring several interviews and a large amount of research, written for an academic audience and containing a full bibliography and citations, would cost considerably more than a simple “overview” page translated from complete, pre-existing source material and written for a general audience.)
