Step into my studio and take a peek at website copywriting examples and brand voice development for creative service providers and purposeful brands. 

Each project is brand personality-led, embodies brand values, and is strategically designed to convert (aka getting you your version of dreamy client on repeat). 

Take a browse or feel free to binge my copywriting portfolio, and I’ll see you on the flip side.

Elisabeth Barnes

Squarespace Website Designer + Copywriter

Website copy - 4 pages

Elisabeth is a Squarespace website designer + copywriter in the UK, helping female founders book aligned clients through beautiful, professional, custom-made website designs.

Yes, she’s a friggin’ copywriter! So, she could easily write her website copy herself, right? Well, that’s exactly what she did.

But the problem was, she felt too close to her own business to sort out her ideas and articulate what she really wanted to say.

So her website copy turned out sounding:

- Like a “professional” version of herself that she left behind at her corporate, soul-sucking job

- Not specific enough and not properly addressing her client’s pain points and desires

- A watered-down version of her personality that didn’t reflect her sassiness and vibrance

- Like she wasn’t embodying her dream client’s language enough, so there was a disconnect.

Change Coffee

Coffee brand with a purpose

Brand voice guide + full website copy

Change Coffee is a social enterprise coffee brand partnered with World Vision Australia. They reinvest 100% of profits into programs that empower communities, supporting vulnerable children, partnering with First Nations peoples, and helping build climate resilience (aka, they do really good things)

Change Coffee came to me because their website copy wasn’t converting into sales. They didn’t have a clear, cohesive brand voice that was consistent across their online communication. They were relying on adopting language from World Vision’s brand, when they needed to be a separate brand with its own personality, attracting their dream customer (the conscious consumer).

It wasn’t just their website copy, but their socials were also not up to scratch. There was no clear distinction, and they wanted to build up that trust and connection and define who they were talking to so they could better sell to them.

Wonderful words from Change Coffee…

Silver Fern Creative

Graphic Design Studio

Silver Fern Creative is a highly experienced graphic design studio in Canada. They help health + wellness businesses create beautiful, strategic and polished visual identities and design to help grow their businesses, showing their credibility and professionalism so they can charge what they're worth.

Jen, the amazing founder, built her website in the early years of her business because she had to just “get something up” (sound familiar?) She’s since then tweaked it to reflect her niche, but something still didn’t feel right.

Jen felt like she was holding back from saying what she really wanted to say. She is very connected with the work she does, helping her clients create a ripple effect of kindness, and she wanted to express this through her copy.

Becc Lee Marketing

Email Marketing Specialist

Becc helps female e-commerce entrepreneurs drive sales through automated emails, sales campaigns and funnels. She manages all her clients' accounts from strategy to delivery.

Becc didn’t have a defined brand voice, and she felt like she was just plucking things out of the air when writing her content. 

She wanted to be able to speak directly to her ideal client and tap into what they really wanted from an email marketing service. She wanted to show them she was the one to solve their problems and that she could make things easier for them.

Gaia Tree

Vegan sweets brand

About page copy

Gaia Tree is a Sydney-based e-commerce brand specialising in natural, vegan treats inspired by Fijian flavours and culture.

The founder is highly proud of her Fijian heritage. Her products reflect Fijian food culture with exotic flavours and ethically sourced ingredients from Fiji.

Gaia Tree wanted to revamp their existing website and update their about page to tell their origin story better. They had also rebranded, with a new mission and unique selling proposition focused on Fijian culture.

I rewrote Gaia Tree’s About page, incorporating their love for Fiji and invoking emotions of the positive and happy culture. 

They wanted this to shine through in how they make their products and how the products taste. Through a website copy refresh, I helped them convey a sense of calm, happiness, joy, and pride through their words.
