When crafting words for platforms, the web, or interfaces, It’s not enough to simply write the copy and hand it over to a designer. Or build your design around Lorum Ipsum as a placeholder for real text.
With any digital project, design and copy have a symbiotic relationship. You need to understand how the copy you write translates to a page or app. The importance of wireframing throughout the copywriting and design process. And how to deliver the right text, in the right place, at the right time.
Whether you need to develop microcopy for apps, digital content for websites, or words for online and interactive applications, there’s a lot to think about.
How to Create Compelling Digital Copywriting
There are a few best practices to follow when it comes to creating compelling words online.
The first is to fully empathise with your users. By placing them at the heart of the journey, you’ll be able to deliver a pleasant, enjoyable – and above all – frustration-free experience, whatever the platform.
Second up, your copywriter should have a commitment to, understanding of, and appreciation for effective design. A copywriter and designer should work together to arrange the visual elements of a page.
Because an online audience will view and skim the text, you also need strong know-how of the words, tones and expressions that drive conversions. And for web and other online projects, it’s imperative to have a copywriter with a sound understanding of SEO and how Google ranks pages.
