How to Write Copy for Your Website
by Arun Sinha © 2009
While attractive design and clean coding make a website easier to use, it's the words on the site that sell. Words
used wisely bring search engines to your site and make or break your connection with your human readers.
Here are some general tips on writing for the web, followed by suggestions on what to write on specific pages of
your site.
Web Writing: General Tips
Be audience-focused. That is, write with your audience in mind. Remember there is a live person at the other
end reading your website. Whatever you say needs to be of interest to them.
Write in a friendly and informative tone. Customers go to the web looking for information. Tell them details about
your product and its benefits. Don't use marketing hype — simply inform them about your offerings.
Be interesting. Be relevant. Offer solutions.
Write economically. Web copy should be at least half as long as printed copy. Users don't read web text word by
word, they scan the copy.
To make your copy scannable, write short words, short sentences, and short paragraphs. Use boldface, bullets,
indents, and subheads.
Use keywords. Develop 2 or 3 keywords (or keyphrases) for each page of your site, and use them throughout
your copy. Repeat the keywords as often as you can while still sounding natural to your readers.
