I've been there what feels like a thousand times: You're cruising through the beginning stages of a web project.

Web Copy: ...crickets

What is it about writing website copy that is SO deceptive? No matter how much of a heads-up you give to clients, they are always confident that they can deliver, and you are always ...waiting.

Website Copy Guide for Mockups-05.png

While the dream scenario is for your client to hire a professional copywriter, I finally came to terms with two things:

1) Most people don’t expect to need a copywriter.

2) It's not always in the budget.

 Enter: The Website Copywriting Guide

After years of enduring the biggest pain-point in my projects, I bit the bullet and made this guide. It's a customizable, comprehensive outline for writing, storing, and collaborating throughout a web design project's copywriting portion.

 ★★★★★

Nope! Most people who are using this guide are clients of web designers. Maybe you're taking your website into your own hands and need guidance on where to begin with the copy. This is for you.

I thought I had my copy all figured out.

As I built this outline, I ended up having to write more copy for my website. The guide helped me identify holes in my own copy, and it will do the same for you. 

Copywriter Approved

A professional copywriter has approved the Website Copy Guide. They even shared that the guide helped them identify where their website lacked copy! It does its job, friends.

What It’s Not

The goal of this guide is NOT to replace a copywriter. Hear this. This guide bridges the gap for those needing guidance with their website copy, but are not ready to hire a copywriter.


And the best part?

A professional copywriter is one click away from being invited to the document to edit and proofread your copy. Copyediting is often an affordable alternative to copywriting. You take the lead on the writing, and they can edit away to ensure you look like the professional you are.

"This guide, Jess, it's truly beyond amazing. So intentionally designed, easy to digest and simple to fill out. I cannot wait to implement this into my web design process, I love it and I know my clients are going to so appreciate having this framework to follow. Adding this guide to my process not only increased the value of my services, but it's created an elevated and special experience for my clients. (Cheers to not having to pull copy out of clients anymore!!)"
