WHITE LABEL WEBSITE COPY EDITING FOR DESIGNERS

Copy Edits for DIY Website Content

Copy Support That Saves You Hours and Increases Your Client’s Confidence in the Project

Not a web designer?

Not every client wants to hire a copywriter.

And it’s not just because they’re low budget or just starting out. 

Sometimes they’re an established business who has already invested in brand strategy or messaging and doesn’t want to start over. Or sometimes the client wants to write the content themselves or have you scrub the existing website.

We get that. But YOU KNOW the content is still going to need a little work to make sure it is fully optimized and ready for the new website. Wouldn’t it be great if you could have a professional copywriter *review and polish* the content, saving you hours of prep?

That’s Exactly Why We Created the Copy Edit

A white label website copy editing service exclusively for web designers.

(TBH, we launched this service in fall 2025 and have been booking like crazy since!)

Designers love it because:

  • You can simply coordinate client’s content deadline and my start date, 

  • You don’t have to edit. Ever. Again.

  • The price point is a great fit to integrate into existing pricing. 

  • Your client gets an improved message and you save your sanity.

And the copy works because it is:

  • Clear, easy to read, and skimmable

  • Set up to flow logically with strong headlines and calls-to-action

  • Optimized for search engines so ideal clients can find the business

Website Copy Editing Pro, At Your Service

Copy the most anxiety-inducing part of your web design process? Let’s change that. 

Hi, I’m Nikki, messaging strategist, website copywriter, StoryBrand Certified Guide, and owner of Clarity Branding Co. I’ll take your client’s meh content and make it shine. (Unless of course they need a complete overhaul, in which case we’ll start from the ground up with a Copy Intensive.)

I’ve seen too many designers spending hours prepping content and stepping out of their zone of genius (design, selling, being awesome) to try to wrangle words for clients. And I’ve spoken to dozens of designers who wanted to collaborate with us for copywriting but their clients just wouldn’t invest $$$ in copywriting support. 

So … we’re sneaking it in behind the scenes. Let’s go undercover!

Here Are the Main Issues We See When Reviewing Site Content

✗ Not enough content for each page
✗ Paragraphs of AI word salads
✗ Focused on the business and not the client
✗ Unclear what we’re asking the user to do (Fill out a form? Schedule a call? Scream into the void?)
✗ No SEO strategy or optimization for content
✗ Unclear headline hierarchy

All clarity, user experience, and conversion issues that you need to work through before designing. Yuck, right? Not for us!

Introducing The Copy Edit

What it is: A professional polish up of existing or newly drafted content. This is a white label website copy editing service and does not include client communication or messaging strategy.

Copy Edits are not a good fit when your client needs brand message development or full copywriting. You’ll want to explore a Copy Intensive for that.

How a Copy Edit Works


1.

We edit the content. We’re tweaking content to make it skimmable, with value-rich headlines and optimized copy for conversion. (In addition to making sure it reads well.) We make all the changes stand out, so you/your client can quickly see exactly what was changed. (See a sea of purple? The copy was rough!)

2.

You receive refreshed copy ready for review or design. Here it’s up to you: some designers prefer to roll right into design and wow their clients with their refreshed content, or have the client do a final pass and sign-off on the docs.

3.

Sound like a dream come true?

Design-Ready Content Is Just a Copy Edit Away

✔️ You don’t have to edit content again.

✔️ You don’t have to worry about content being ready before the design start date.

✔️ You don’t have to worry if the new site is going to help the client reach their business goals.

Psst! Copy Edits Are Just the Beginning … 

White label website copy editing is just one service I offer designers
who are part of our Integrated Copy Partnership.
