0 Web Design Tips for Writers
So, I tweeted a while ago about this article, see, here’s the tweet -
See, I did tweet about it.
The gist of the article is tips for writing copy as a web designer. It got me thinking. As a professional writer of sorts, I feel that someone who takes on someone else’s specialty is just asking for trouble. So, as an experiment, I thought I would go ahead and try my hand at graphic design. I mean, if web designers are going to be responsible for writing poignant marketing copy, I might as well attempt graphic design; with no formal training, experience, or clue what I’m doing. Here goes:
Yay! I designed something! It looks pretty good, I would present it to a hip client targeting a younger audience, but I couldn’t tell you a thing about it. I don’t know what colors I used, why I did what I did, or what I expect people to get out of the design. I’m not a designer! I like to leave these tasks up to those who know what they are doing.
The point of this post is: Designers, if you’re thinking of “filling in the spaces” of your design with written content, think about that horrid design up above. Would you want a writer to tackle a design project simply because they know the basics of Illustrator? We feel the same way about designers trying to dabble in writing for their clients simply because they think it’s easy.
We’ll leave the designs up to you, if you leave the content up to us. Deal?
P.S.
If it’s a budget thing, I would be willing to bet that what a designer may budget in for time to complete the copy portion of their project, a copywriter can do in half the time.
