Copywriting UX
Wallbox was having challenges with keeping its UX copywriting and brand voice sounding consistent. They had lots of different writers, and even non-writers, contributing to their copy. Without having a consistent writer, or team of writers, taking responsibility for how they sounded they were finding customer satisfaction with their app was dropping.
When customers find an app difficult to use, or even just inconsistent in its use of language, those customers can soon go elsewhere.
That’s why Wallbox asked us to come in and smooth out their UX copywriting while making sure their brand voice stayed on track.
Wallbox sits at the forefront of electric vehicle (EV) innovation, creating sophisticated home charging solutions for customers across Europe. However, like many tech brands, Wallbox had challenges with its app user journey. Some of the language and logic was causing confusion for customers.
WalThey needed specialist UX copywriters who were also experts in steering brand voice in the right direction.
We’re UX copywriting experts who are comfortable in the driving seat when it comes to looking after brand voice. We can turn head-spinning tech terminology into free-flowing user journeys.
Making sure tech apps are easy to use takes more than friendly design. It’s about word choice, tone and semantics. Micro copy must convey absolute meaning while keeping people engaged and happy with their experience. Being precise, yet economical with language takes thinking – lots of it.
Yet in even those most micro of moments, you need to make sure you’re looking after the brand voice. Even just a misplaced word on a button can send the user into a tailspin.
At Craft, this is second nature to us. When Wallbox got word of our expertise and learned that we’d helped several car brands including Audi, VW, SEAT and ŠKODA, they approached us to help them.
After immersing ourselves in their world and tone of voice, we laid the foundation by crafting wording for Wallbox’s core app and charger functions. Our mission was to create a UX foundation our copy could be layered upon.
From there, we tackled statuses, regulatory jargon, error states, and more—the nuts and bolts of a seamless user experience. In each copy interaction, we struck the perfect balance between tone and clarity. In UX copywriting, tone is often pushed aside to make a user’s journey smoother. We were able to find middle ground – practical yet human and always consistent.
Alongside the app copy, we started a glossary for Wallbox, worked on a UX writing guide and also a user guide. Before they’re lost, we like to capture semantic, stylistic, and grammatical nuances for our clients. Documenting all these choices is crucial to keeping the brand voice sound consistent as they grow, this is another crucial element of our brand voice guardianship.
Why? Because we care. Whether or not we’re the ones writing the copy, we make sure our clients have the tools to educate their people – keeping them on brand in the future.
Wallbox' original UX copy
Craft's version
When UX copy is unclear or doesn’t read fluidly it’s not just an “oh well” moment. It causes a UX blockage. This is not good for brand loyalty or business.
A blockage in UX writing is any text that doesn’t achieve its purpose. It could be an aimless landing page losing attention or an app error screen that tactlessly alerts! without offering a solution.
And anything that just doesn’t sound like the brand will irk the user. Especially in an app they use every day. In that context, brand voice becomes mission critical.
Whatever it is, it blocks a user’s journey – because they don’t want to continue or don’t know how to.
The way people experience a digital product is everything. Use the wrong words, tone, or information sequences and people won’t tolerate it for long, if at all. By transforming complex tech jargon into user-friendly language, we helped Wallbox enhance their user experience, enabling seamless navigation and understanding.
Wallbox overcame UX blockages, bringing clarity for their customers and boosting brand loyalty in the process. They also got the tools needed to keep their brand voice consistent along their journey.
We can do the same for you.
