Web copywriting - the good and the not-so-good

Let's have a heated debate

When was the last time you spent the best part of three hours debating the finer points of structuring one area of a new website? For me, the answer is "yesterday", as I was involved in a meeting to kick off a monster of a project.

It made me realise this kind of planning and challenging just doesn't happen often enough with new websites. The proof will be in the copywriting, but I came away from the meeting thinking that some people really do care about this stuff - and that's what makes the difference.

  • It's a great luxury this. Clients aren't always too happy to part with a chunk of day rate for arguing time. It's often hard for them to see the bigger picture - that they'll get a better result from it.

  • Yep - it's rare. But it really makes me realise how little thought goes into most site structures. Oh that every client was as enlightened.
