Turn Projects into Stories That Sell

Begin each project with a crisp snapshot of the challenge: who was affected, what was broken, and why fixing it truly mattered. When stakes feel real, your copywriting elevates a portfolio into a persuasive case. Share your toughest challenge in the comments so others can learn from your setup.

Turn Projects into Stories That Sell

List the decisive moves you made and connect each to a tangible result. Replace vague verbs with precise actions that readers can picture. A designer named Maya reframed “redesigned website” as “simplified navigation, cutting support emails by 32% in six weeks.” Tell us how you’d quantify your last big win.

Structure Pages for Skimmability

Open each project page with a headline that states your impact, not your activity. Try “Reduced onboarding time by 40% with clearer microcopy” instead of “Onboarding redesign.” Add a tight subhead that names the audience and constraint. Share your best headline rewrite for quick peer critiques.

Match Voice, Tone, and Audience

If recruiters skim, prioritize clarity; if product leaders read deeply, foreground strategy and tradeoffs. Use voice-of-customer phrasing from briefs and interviews. Keep your voice warm, confident, and human. Comment with the audience you target most and we’ll suggest tone tweaks for your niche.

Match Voice, Tone, and Audience

Swap feature speak for outcome speak. “Implemented heuristic evaluation” becomes “Identified friction points that lowered support volume.” Avoid buzzword stacking. When jargon is essential, define it once and move on. Share a sentence you’re struggling with, and we’ll crowd-edit a cleaner version together.

Write with Ethics and Credibility

When details are restricted, anonymize the client, mask sensitive numbers, and focus on decisions and frameworks. Avoid implying ownership you didn’t have. Add a note explaining what you cannot share and why. Ask if you want sample anonymization phrasing that still keeps your story persuasive.

Edit for Precision and Momentum

Replace weak helpers with vivid verbs: “reduced,” “reframed,” “expanded,” “validated.” Front-load your sentences with action and results. This simple tweak energizes your narrative. Share a before-and-after sentence in the comments, and we’ll cheer your clean, punchy version.
