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?)

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
