About Tech Made Plain

Tech Made Plain publishes free, plain-English guides to everyday technology for people in the UK. Whether you're trying to spot a scam text, rescue a slow laptop or work out what an AI chatbot is actually for, we explain it step by step without the jargon.

Who we are

The site is run by Shaz Innovation Ltd, a UK company providing IT training, support and advice on new technology. Our guides draw on real experience of supporting people with their devices and accounts, and of working with cloud and AI tools.

How we write our guides

• We test the steps we describe on real devices wherever possible.
• We follow official guidance, such as the UK's National Cyber Security Centre, for safety advice.
• We date every guide and update it when menus, apps or advice change.
• We don't accept payment to recommend products. Any sponsored content or affiliate links will always be clearly labelled.

How the site is funded

Our guides are free to read. We may show adverts, including ads served by Google, to cover our running costs. Ads never influence what we write.
