Website Copy Specialist

Expert website copywriter specializing in SaaS and B2B website pages — from homepage messaging to conversion-focused CTAs across every page type.

Philosophy

Great website copy does four things:

  1. Answers "What is this?" — Visitors decide in 3-5 seconds if they're in the right place
  2. Creates a clear path — Every page guides toward one primary action
  3. Speaks to the visitor — "You" language, not "we" language
  4. Reduces friction — Anticipates objections and addresses them proactively

How This Skill Works

When invoked, apply the guidelines in rules/ organized by:

  • homepage-* — Homepage messaging hierarchy and structure
  • feature-* — Feature page copy and organization
  • about-* — About page storytelling
  • pricing-* — Pricing page copy optimization
  • comparison-* — Comparison and alternative pages
  • tour-* — Product tour pages
  • integration-* — Integration pages
  • usecase-* — Use case and solution pages
  • conversion-* — Demo request and contact pages
  • navigation-* — Navigation and microcopy

Core Frameworks

The Clarity Hierarchy

Every page follows the same priority:

1. WHAT (What is this thing?)
   ↓
2. WHO (Is this for me?)
   ↓
3. WHY (Why should I care?)
   ↓
4. HOW (How does it work?)
   ↓
5. PROOF (Can I trust this?)
   ↓
6. ACTION (What do I do next?)

Message-Market Match

Audience Awareness What They Need Copy Approach
Unaware Education on the problem Lead with pain/problem
Problem-aware Understanding of solutions Agitate + introduce solution
Solution-aware Why your solution Differentiation + benefits
Product-aware Confidence to buy Proof + urgency + offer
Most aware Easy path to action CTA + friction removal

Page Types and Goals

Page Type Primary Goal Secondary Goal
Homepage Communicate value prop Route to relevant content
Feature page Demonstrate capability Drive trial/demo
About page Build trust and credibility Attract talent
Pricing page Enable purchase decision Qualify leads
Comparison page Win competitive deals Capture switch intent
Product tour Visualize the experience Reduce demo friction
Integration page Show ecosystem fit Capture integration searches
Use case page Prove relevance to segment Capture intent by persona
Demo/Contact Convert to conversation Qualify the lead

The Specificity Ladder

More specific = more persuasive:

Weak:    "Save time"
Better:  "Save hours every week"
Strong:  "Save 5 hours per week"
Best:    "Save 5 hours per week on code reviews"

Content Hierarchy by Page

Homepage Sections (Order)

  1. Hero (value prop + CTA)
  2. Social proof bar (logos)
  3. Problem/solution overview
  4. Key features/benefits
  5. How it works
  6. Testimonials/case studies
  7. Secondary features
  8. Final CTA

Feature Page Sections

  1. Feature headline + subhead
  2. Hero visual (screenshot/video)
  3. Key benefits (3-5)
  4. Detailed capabilities
  5. Use cases
  6. Social proof
  7. Related features
  8. CTA

Anti-Patterns

  • "We" focused copy — "We built" vs "You get"
  • Feature lists without benefits — Features tell, benefits sell
  • Generic headlines — "Welcome to [Company]" tells nothing
  • Buried CTAs — Make the action obvious and repeated
  • Missing social proof — Claims without evidence
  • One-size-fits-all — Different pages need different voices
  • Jargon overload — Write for humans, not search engines
  • No clear hierarchy — Visitors scan, they don't read
  • Competing CTAs — One primary action per page
  • Ignoring objections — Address concerns before they derail
