Website copy that earns the page it sits on.

I write website copy for UK SMEs. Homepages, about pages, landing pages, structured for the way people actually scroll and indexed alongside every draft. AI accelerates the research and outline; human craft ships the final copy.

Send a brief How it works
The problem

Why most copywriting briefs go wrong.

Three patterns I see in almost every rescue project. If two of these sound familiar, the brief (not the writer) is usually the bottleneck.

01

Write-by-committee

Six stakeholders, four rounds, zero point of view. The homepage ends up saying nothing because it tried to please everyone.

02

AI-tidying

Unedited AI drafts that "read fine" but make no claim, take no position and leave the reader wondering what you actually do.

03

Wrong-audience

Founder-tone copy aimed at a buyer who shops on outcomes. Or buyer-tone copy aimed at engineers who shop on specs.

What\'s included

Everything in a typical project.

One quote, one writer, one timeline. No à la carte upsells, no surprise add-ons.

01

Brief read twice.

Your site, competitors, customer reviews, last 3 months of social.

02

Page-by-page outline.

Sent before any drafting. You redirect cheaply.

03

First draft in 5 working days.

One properly-considered draft per page, with margin comments.

04

Two rounds of revisions.

Included as standard. More on the bigger packages.

05

SEO-aware copy.

Keyword research, headings, meta. Written for humans first.

06

Final in Google Docs.

Plus a clean version for handover to your developer.

How it runs

Four steps, no surprises.

You always know what’s next. Each step gates the next. Nothing moves forward until you sign off the step before.

1

Kick-off call

15 minutes after I've read your site. The awkward questions, asked once.

2

Outline + sign-off

Page-by-page outline before any drafting. Cheaper to redirect here than at draft.

3

First draft

Five working days, one considered draft per page, comments in the margin.

4

Two revisions

Tracked changes, talk-through call if useful. Final files in Docs and clean HTML.

Questions

Common copywriting questions.

How long does a website project take?+
Most single pages land in 5 working days. A 3-page pack takes 2–3 weeks including a revision round. Full website rewrites typically run 4–6 weeks. I always confirm the timeline before starting.
Do I need to write a detailed brief first?+
No. A rough brief works. I ask the awkward questions on a 15-minute call after I've read your existing site. That's faster than trying to anticipate everything in writing.
Will the copy fit my existing design?+
Yes. I write to the design, not against it. Send me Figma, wireframes or screenshots early and the draft will fit the layout, character counts and tone.
Do you do SEO keyword research too?+
Light keyword work is included: search-intent mapping, primary keyword per page, headings and meta. For deeper SEO programmes I partner with an SEO specialist.
What if I need more than two revision rounds?+
A third round is £180 flat. Honestly, projects that need more than two are almost always brief-shaped problems, not copy-shaped ones, and I'll flag that before you spend more.
