Grammar

The correct use of the company name is “Elta Group” not “The Elta Group” or “ELTA Group”. It is acceptable to use “The group” but as a description only, not as the name of the company. Use direct speech and be concise e.g. “You can see our latest news here” rather than “All of our news can be seen by clicking this button”. Use the present tense and active verbs over past tense and passive verbs: “We are always looking for innovative solutions” rather than “We have always looked for innovative solutions”. Be consistent with all grammar i.e. bullet points should all have full stops at the end or none. Be consistent with use of verbs, e.g. do not mix “click here”, “press here” and “select here”. Lead with the purpose not the instruction: “For diagram A, see page 4” rather than “Turn to page 4 for diagram A”.
