SFSite for business

Writing system

Write website copy from evidence, not slogans

Good website copy lets a visitor verify what the business offers, whether it fits and what happens next. Start with specific answers, then shape the tone.

PROTOCOL

Inspect each layer.

01

Collect facts

Interview the person doing the work and use real processes, limits, documents and examples.

  • Services and exclusions
  • Process and timing
  • Evidence that may be published
02

Write for a decision

Each page should answer the questions that appear immediately before a call, visit or order.

  • Who it is for
  • What is included
  • How to continue
03

Edit for accuracy

Remove superlatives, unsupported numbers and vague promises that cannot be demonstrated.

  • No invented proof
  • Consistent terminology
  • Current contact details
