Our approach to UX writing revolves around asking and answering six key questions that make up the core and most important aspects of the discipline: 

‍

1. Is it necessary? 

The main goal of UX writing is to mitigate problems that can’t be solved by design alone. We always ask ourselves: is content needed here, or is there another solution?

‍

2. Is it clear?

UX writing and microcopy should be unambiguous while also avoiding misunderstanding, allowing accessibility and inclusion, and enhancing conversion.

‍

3. Is it concise?

Good UX writing is efficient, reduces cognitive load, and economizes the user journey. Allowing users to quickly absorb relevant information and get where they’re going.

‍

4. Is it useful?

UX writing is meant to help users use your product, but it’s also designed to keep them inside the product and help them get what they need.

‍

5. Is it conversational?

When writing for UX, it’s vital to be natural, conversational, empathetic, and non-technical. A tough ask when space is limited, but not impossible! 

‍

6. Is it branded?

Truly great UX writing aims to turn your product into a brand ambassador, give it a distinct identity, and, most importantly, build your users’ trust in you.
