8 Lessons in UX Writing

 Iโ€™m a UX writer, though one could also call me a product copywriter or a content designer. We go by various names and often wear a fair number of hats (as Kristina Bjoran sums it up here).

 For a lot of people, being a UX writer sounds super easy. I thought it too, when I first started out. After all, how hard could it possibly be to string together words for an app or a website?

 The answer: pretty damn hard. Over the course of my career, Iโ€™ve cut my teeth on everything from essays to blog posts, and long form text to white papers. But writing UX copy is a whole different ball game, and the most challenging kind of writing Iโ€™ve done. In this post, Iโ€™m going to detail 8 key things Iโ€™ve learned about UX copywriting:

 Weโ€™re used to writing text to make it sound impressive. I canโ€™t stress the importance of being clear, concise, and considerate. Weโ€™re the ones speaking to our users from behind a screen. We also know our app and website, so itโ€™s important to write how you speak, and keep it simple. Itโ€™s not okay to use words because they โ€˜soundโ€™ nice. For instance, donโ€™t use the word โ€˜discoverโ€™ when you mean โ€˜findโ€™. My mentor Shanty always said to take out the words that donโ€™t need to be there. This helps in avoiding ambiguity. Being explicit is vital, as this is how you instruct and guide your users.

 Itโ€™s best to keep your content bite-sized. Users may not have the patience to read long form text on their devices when theyโ€™re navigating through your app/website.

 I understood the importance of this when I realised users get confused if you use different terminology for the same purpose. For instance, when youโ€™re asking them to โ€˜Book a Tableโ€™ online, donโ€™t change it to โ€˜Reserve a Tableโ€™ elsewhere. This includes the text, labels, buttons etc. Itโ€™s not just about confusing the user โ€“ by using the same terminology across your product, you are conditioning them to your voice, tone, and language. It helps in creating a dialogue with them, especially if you want them to come back.

 Bounce your copy off other people. If itโ€™s confusing to someone, it probably needs to be reworked. Itโ€™s also quite beneficial if you ask someone whose first language isnโ€™t English. If they donโ€™t understand you, itโ€™s most certainly not going to work for your users.

 This is something I learned when I was at Zomato โ€“ I sat next to Laura, who deals with translations. Iโ€™d run copy by her, and sheโ€™d tell me if it would break in Portuguese or Turkish. Sometimes, sheโ€™d tell me a better way to write what I needed to convey, because thatโ€™s just how it worked in another language. She wrote a great post about how translations work at Zomato.

 I canโ€™t tell you the number of times Iโ€™ve been asked to amend copy to โ€˜make it snappyโ€™ once the designs are done and itโ€™s gone to development. We have to be involved at an earlier stage. We need to know who weโ€™re writing for, to get the voice and tone right, and to ensure that important messages are delivered to our users.

 We also need context, which is why we need to sit with the product teams. I canโ€™t tell you the number of times Iโ€™ve received requests to write copy for something or just fix grammar โ€“ thatโ€™s not what weโ€™re here for. We need to push to get user flows, goals, character limits etc. (Product managers โ€“ save us the trouble and sit with us or involve us early!) This just makes our jobs easier when weโ€™re racing against time to meet deadlines. Better yet, create a process that ensures you receive all the information you need to get sh*t done.

 Designers are busy people. We donโ€™t need to learn everything they do, but itโ€™s good to know the basics of tools such as Figma, Sketch, and Balsamiq.

 You donโ€™t need to wait for the final design. If you need to write copy for a landing page, tell the designer what needs to be conveyed, to whom, where, and how it needs to be. Content and design are two sides of the same coin. Donโ€™t separate them. Theyโ€™re both what the user needs immediately, and the two elements work together to give that to the user.

 Writing for UI is not an easy task. You may think it is, because itโ€™s small bits of content. But itโ€™s the most difficult kind of writing Iโ€™ve ever done. I found it easy to be flowery and make words seem prettier, but with UI, you drill down to the basics. Everybody needs to understand you. You need to be inclusive of your audience. It has to go with your brand voice and tone. It has to be consistent with the rest of your app/website. This is a very basic checklist โ€“ but you need to know your user, and be able to guide them.
