How  to write awinning copy for your website?

Copywriting for websites is not just about writing, it's more like creating a concept. When creating content for a website a copywriter tries to write impactful statements that have the potential to trigger an emotional response. However in order to be effective, impactful words need to be packaged in striking design.

• Content conceptualization
• Message composition

Content conceptualization

Content conceptualization starts with research, which helps in defining the scope of the message. Next, we ponder about design and try to visualize the most effective design for the message. Layout and theme are a crucial aspect of design, so we try to relate them to the message as closely as possible. This not only makes the design meaningful, but also helps in conveying the message most effectively.

Throughout the content conceptualization phase we try to find answers to some very important questions, and our actions are guided by what we learn from this introspection. Typically, we ask ourselves the following questions:

What is the essence of the message?
 
What aspects of the message need highlighting from the audience’s perspective? 

What kind of layout will help in highlighting the important aspects of the message? 

How to symbolize the essence of the message in the content’s design theme?

Message composition

In the content conceptualization phase, we only define the scope of the message and identify its components without getting involved in the intricacies of message composition. Since message is the soul of content,the entire phase two of our content development process is dedicated to thetask of message composition. 

In order to deliver the message in the most effective way,we closely adhere to the following guidelines:

• Make it as simple as flowing water
• Checkfor factual and logical errors
• Checkfor language errors

Making it as simple as flowing water

A message comprises of a sequence of ideas. So, it is essential to connect the ideas and make it easy for the audience to understand how one idea leads to another. In majority of cases where people fail to comprehend content, the cause of trouble is improper sequencing of thoughts and ideas. Sometimes ideas are sequenced correctly, but they are not inter connected properly and this creates as much confusion as improperly sequenced ideas. So,we review and re-review our compositions until we are sure that idea transition is as apparent as flowing water.

Checking for factual and logical errors

Factual errors reduce the trust worthiness of content, which is why we take special care to check and cross-check the facts before incorporating them in a message. Logical errors refer to malformed inferences, which result from fallacies in reasoning and deduction. To check for these, we undertake lengthy critical reviews where each point is deeply pondered upon to ensure that it is logically correct.

Checking for language errors

Language errors are not just limited to improper spellings, grammar and punctuation, they also include implication error and contextual irrelevancy. Implication error occurs when a sentence or a paragraph is grossly misunderstood by people, which essentially means that there is a great deal of disparity between what people make of it and what the writer actually meant by it. Contextual irrelevancy occurs when a word or a phrase doesn’t feel right at its designated position. This leads to some amount of confusion and causes obstruction in the reading flow.

At CopyCrunch every piece of composition is subjected to a rigorous group-review, which is very effective for detecting and removing language errors. Once message composition is done with, all that is left isthe simple matter of putting together design and message.
