WEBSITE – CONCEPT & COPY
Agency – Info Site
In 2014, the owners of Web123 were ready for a new website with a branding overhaul. They asked for ‘realness’ and wanted to show they were unlike the rest of the web design industry. I developed the ‘No surprises, no bull’ guarantee as the guiding brand promise, and everything grew from there.
My Responsibilities:
- Develop a brand messaging strategy for Web123 that resonates with small businesses
- Develop a brand promise and build conceptual copy to support it
- Redevelop the existing website using a simpler navigation experience
- Undertake a content audit to create a new site architecture plan
- Wireframe the new site layout & liaise with the designer to create assets
- Liaise with the developer to build the site, and ensure SEO best practice (including ‘one to one’ page 301s from the old site)
- Work with the directors to develop a blog section, a content editorial calendar as well as ongoing content & blogger outreach development.
- Our blog strategy tripled subscribers in 18 months!
SaaS – Sales Site
I worked with the directors of the business and liaised with the web & design team to develop a sales website that resonated with graphic designers and encouraged taking a free trial of their ‘website business in a box‘ service.
Geeks that work hard for your money
Creating some IN YO FACE team photos (like putting geeks in Flashdance tights), was one of the underlying (and blatant) messages of the brand. We’re different, we’re fun, we’re flexible AND we’ll work hard for the money. Of course, our geeks grumbled about the idea until the photo shoot. Thanks to team camaraderie (and vodka) our geeks soon discovered how great tights and spandex can be.
My Responsibilities:
- Develop a brand messaging strategy to resonate with graphic designers
- Develop a memorable brand promise
- Build out the concept & web copy (putting geeks in tights was my idea, soz not soz)
- Work with the design team to wireframe, draft and build the desktop site
SaaS – Mobile Customer Journey
In 2014 it was mandatory to have a mobile version of a SaaS site. So, once I mapped out a customer journey to take users from awareness to consideration to trial in 4 steps or less, I wireframed a simpler design, cutting away everything until we had a lean, converting machine.
My Responsibilities:
- Create a customer journey for the mobile experience
- Wireframe the .mob version of the site
- Cut back the content to drive quick action
- Liaise with the web developer & designer to make the concept a reality
SaaS – Member Portal Copy
We had an enormous project plan (thanks goes to Wrike our PM tool) to develop 100s of written and video training materials. We also needed to develop business templates for every foreseeable designer-client communication. This covered everything from sales cold calling scripts, website or SEO assessments, to project scoping emails and quotes, project delivery updates, managing client scope creep, chasing payments, asking for referrals… and everything in-between.
My Responsibilities:
- Write the copy for all membership pages
- Work with the directors to develop a comprehensive lesson structure
- Write engaging scripts for 80 educational videos on how to run a web design business
- Write email templates for every client communication a web designer is likely to use
