Content + copy

Words that sell without sounding like a robot.

Website copy, case studies and content that tells a stranger what you do, who it's for and why now, in under five seconds. No 'synergy'. No 'empowering the future'.

How we edit

Most website copy isn't wrong. It's vague. Here's the kind of change we make on almost every project.

Homepage headline

BeforeEmpowering next-gen enterprises with AI-driven innovation.

AfterClose your books in 2 days, not 12.

Says what you do and what changes. A stranger gets it in five seconds.

Primary CTA

BeforeSubmit

AfterBook a 20-minute demo

Tells people exactly what happens next, and how long it takes.

Feature section

BeforeOur robust, scalable platform leverages best-in-class integrations.

AfterConnects to Xero, Tally and your bank in about ten minutes.

Specific tools and a real time estimate beat three adjectives. (Example copy, not a real claim.)

Sounds like you?

Your copy needs help if…

  • Your headline could describe any company in your category
  • Sales explains the product better on calls than the website does
  • You have no case studies, or they read like press releases
  • Your blog exists, technically

How it runs

We start by listening: to you, your sales calls and a couple of customers. Most of the best lines on a website were first said out loud by someone who isn't in marketing.

Content FAQ

Questions about copy

Something else? Email admin@baddesign.io. The founder replies.

Will it sound like us?

That's the job. We interview your team and customers, read your sales calls and write in your voice. You'll get a short voice guide so it stays consistent.

Do you use AI to write?

For research and first-pass structure, sometimes. Every line that ships is written and edited by a human who understands your buyer.

Can you write technical content?

Yes. We interview your engineers or product team and turn it into something a buyer can follow without dumbing it down.

How much of our site will you rewrite?

Only what's holding you back. We'd rather fix the homepage and pricing page properly than touch up forty pages badly.

Say it clearly.

Send your homepage. We'll rewrite the headline and CTA for free, so you can see the difference.
