WORDS FOR WEBSITES
Website copywriting
Make your business easier to understand, find and choose
You know your business inside out.
The problem is turning everything you know into a website that makes sense to someone who’s just landed on it for the first time.
I turn all those ideas, services, customer questions and things-you-really-need-to-mention into clear, strategic website copy that helps the right people find you, understand you and choose you.
Your website really should be doing more than sitting there looking pretty
You shouldn’t feel slightly embarrassed every time someone asks for your website address.
You shouldn’t have to follow up with, “It probably doesn’t explain what we do very well…”
And you definitely shouldn’t be paying for a website that isn’t helping your business grow.
Good website copy helps the right people find you, understand what you do and feel confident enough to enquire, book or buy.
Why can’t Chat GPT write my website copy?
Just because it can, doesn’t mean it should.
AI works with the information and assumptions it’s given.
Which means if you don’t know to prompt it about things like neuromarketing and conversion (which, be honest … would you?!) then it’s not going to automatically go there.
AI misses the nuances, sounds vanilla and doesn’t really connect because it doesn’t have the human reasoning behind it that an experienced, pre-AI copywriter does.
I’m what turns website copy from meh to yeah! (you’re welcome)
More than just well-written words
Of course your website copy needs to sound good.
But beautifully written sentences won’t help much if people can’t find your website, can’t work out what you sell or have no idea what they’re supposed to do next.
That’s why there’s quite a bit going on behind the words.
Strategy
Every page needs a job.
I work out what the page needs to achieve, what your customer needs from it and where it fits into the wider website, so your copy supports your actual business goals instead of simply filling space.
SEO & AEO
Your website needs to be understood by search engines and AI search tools as well as your customers.
I use clear structure, relevant language and strong topic signals so the right people have more opportunities to find your business when they’re looking for what you do.
User Experience
People scan, compare, jump around and look for reassurance.
I structure the information around what they need to understand next, so your website feels easier to navigate and people can find what they need without working too hard for it.
Conversion
Every page should help someone move towards a useful next step.
That could be enquiring, booking, buying, downloading or continuing to explore. The copy should make that step feel clear and natural, so more of the attention your website earns has a chance to turn into business.
THE PROCESS
So, how do I get everything out of your head and onto your website?
I’ve built and refined this process over 10 years and hundreds of websites, so I know what information I need, what questions to ask and how to get from a messy brief to clear website copy.

WEBSITE COPYWRITING FAQS
Any questions about website copywriting?
-
It’s a catch 22, isn’t it?! You need a new website including copy to get more clients, and without new clients you can’t afford the new website.
So, what do you do?
You might be eligible for a small loan to cover the costs of your website and copy.
I recommend having a chat with MTF Albany. I don’t recommend them lightly, but I’ve known them for a while and they’re really nice, ethical lenders.
