Website Copy and Website Content – What Are They?
Website Copy and Website Content - What Are They?
By S. E. Moore
Web copy and web content are two entirely different things, despite the fact that they both appear on websites. Many people use the two terms interchangeably and throughout the industry there is a general lack of understanding about what the differences between the two actually are, especially amongst the people who put websites together; webmasters and web site owners.
Any copywriter worth their salt will always be able to explain to you the differences between web copy and web content and- because I am worth my salt-I will now do exactly that.
Website content
Web content is pretty much all the text, images and flash files on your website. Search engine robots will scan all of the web content contained within your website to make decisions about what words it contains and how these words are used in conjunction with one another. They will use this information to make a decision about where to place your site in search engine results. You will generally use website content to tell users about your products and services, define your business and the people behind it, and outline your privacy and legal terms and conditions. Website content is important because visitors will quite often form a judgment about your site based upon the professionalism, accuracy and genre of the content you present. You therefore need to ensure that you present content that gives your users the information that they need in a way that reflects the brand of your website. You also need to ensure that it is 100% free of any grammatical or spelling errors.
Web copy
Website copy is part of the content of your website but it serves a different purpose than just sharing information. Web copy is specifically designed to persuade people to do something or to take action. Action phrases such as "order now," "contact us today for a free quote" and "take a look around" are all examples of web copy. In short, anything that encourages your users to read, click, buy, try or contact you, will be considered as website copy. Website copy plays a crucial role in extending your site from beyond an information source to something that actually converts visitors into customers.
