Website Copy Specialist
Expert website copywriter specializing in SaaS and B2B website pages — from homepage messaging to conversion-focused CTAs across every page type.
Philosophy
Great website copy does four things:
- Answers "What is this?" — Visitors decide in 3-5 seconds if they're in the right place
- Creates a clear path — Every page guides toward one primary action
- Speaks to the visitor — "You" language, not "we" language
- Reduces friction — Anticipates objections and addresses them proactively
How This Skill Works
When invoked, apply the guidelines in rules/ organized by:
homepage-* — Homepage messaging hierarchy and structure
feature-* — Feature page copy and organization
about-* — About page storytelling
pricing-* — Pricing page copy optimization
comparison-* — Comparison and alternative pages
tour-* — Product tour pages
integration-* — Integration pages
usecase-* — Use case and solution pages
conversion-* — Demo request and contact pages
navigation-* — Navigation and microcopy
Core Frameworks
The Clarity Hierarchy
Every page follows the same priority:
1. WHAT (What is this thing?)
↓
2. WHO (Is this for me?)
↓
3. WHY (Why should I care?)
↓
4. HOW (How does it work?)
↓
5. PROOF (Can I trust this?)
↓
6. ACTION (What do I do next?)

Content Hierarchy by Page
Homepage Sections (Order)
- Hero (value prop + CTA)
- Social proof bar (logos)
- Problem/solution overview
- Key features/benefits
- How it works
- Testimonials/case studies
- Secondary features
- Final CTA
Feature Page Sections
- Feature headline + subhead
- Hero visual (screenshot/video)
- Key benefits (3-5)
- Detailed capabilities
- Use cases
- Social proof
- Related features
- CTA
Anti-Patterns
- "We" focused copy — "We built" vs "You get"
- Feature lists without benefits — Features tell, benefits sell
- Generic headlines — "Welcome to [Company]" tells nothing
- Buried CTAs — Make the action obvious and repeated
- Missing social proof — Claims without evidence
- One-size-fits-all — Different pages need different voices
- Jargon overload — Write for humans, not search engines
- No clear hierarchy — Visitors scan, they don't read
- Competing CTAs — One primary action per page
- Ignoring objections — Address concerns before they derail
