Copywriting for UX/UI
What is it?
To put it simply UX writing is a conversation with your audience. UX writing is the process of writing copy for user-facing touchpoints. This must come first naturally even before wire-frames. Words are often the best starting points for creating your intital layout designs. Usually designers and writers need to work in unison as to get the message, tone, voice and language just right. Every word and space inbetween should speak to the intended user like a good friend. Boring cannot be in your vocabulary unless your product calls for it (Portfolio Management?). A good writer can put a fund, modern touch onto anything.
Types of UX/UI Copy:
- Headlines
- Subheaders
- Body Copy
- Captions
- CTA's
- Notifications
- Errors
- User Onboarding
- Menu Copy
- Tool Tips

In a Nutshell UX Writing is:
- Writing for design, where words have purpose, driven by user goals
- The opposite of sales and marketing jargon
- Takes into account the user's thought process and emotions
