Microcopy: the small words that make a big difference
Microcopy is the small text scattered through your site — button labels, form hints, error messages, confirmations. It's easy to overlook, but it quietly shapes how easy and trustworthy your site feels.
Where microcopy matters
- Buttons: 'Get my free quote' beats 'Submit'.
- Form hints: tell people exactly what's expected.
- Errors: say what went wrong and how to fix it.
- Confirmations: reassure people what happens next.
Write like a helpful human
Clear, friendly, specific microcopy reduces friction and anxiety at exactly the moments people decide whether to act. Small words, real impact.
