Design catches attention.

Words drive action.

Most websites spend too much energy on visuals — colors, fonts, fancy animations — and forget the one thing that actually makes people buy, click, or trust you: what you say.

Here’s why your website’s text matters more than how it looks.

1. People Read Before They Click

When someone lands on your site, they scan the words first. Not the logo. Not the background video.

They want quick answers:

• What do you do?

• Can you help me?

• Why should I stay?

If your message isn’t instantly clear, they bounce — no matter how pretty your site is.

2. Words Turn Visitors Into Customers

Clear messaging helps people go from “just looking” to “I’m in.”

That means:

• Strong headlines that speak to your audience’s problems

• Easy-to-understand descriptions of what you offer

• Clear buttons that say exactly what happens next (like “Get a Quote” or “Book a Demo”)

Your visuals should support this — not distract from it.

3. You Don’t Need Fancy Language

Writing for your website isn’t about sounding smart.

It’s about sounding human.

Here’s a quick example:

❌ “We deliver bespoke integrated digital solutions for scalable growth”

✅ “We build websites that help your business grow online”

Simple wins. Always.

4. Start With the Message

If you’re redesigning your website, start by writing the key messages first.

What do you want people to understand and do?

Once your words are clear, your layout and design can follow — not the other way around.

—

Your website is a business tool.

What you say on it is what sells.

Strong, simple, human wording builds trust, answers questions, and drives action.

If your message isn’t clear, your design won’t matter.
