Home Page Copy

Your home page copy structure depends a lot on your business. A nail salon would have a different approach from an e-commerce store; a website selling mobile app design courses is different from a hosting company. Hence, it's basically impossible for me to give you an outline template for your home page.

What IS universal is the value proposition. Every home page needs one (unless you're a very well-known brand)

A value proposition is a promise of value to be delivered. It's the primary reason a prospect should buy from you. The value proposition is usually a block of text with a visual.

There is no one right way to go about it, but I suggest you start with the following formula:

  • Headline:
    What is the end-benefit you're offering, in one short sentence. Can mention the product and/or the customer. Attention grabber.
  • Sub-headline or a two-to-three sentence paragraph:
    A specific explanation of what you do/offer, for whom, and why is it useful.
  • Bullet points:
    List the key benefits or features.
