Project Description
Client: Peninsula Finance Ltd
Project: Web copywriting for company website rebrand and relaunch
When: April 2018
Website: Peninsula Finance
Peninsula Finance is a principal lender in commercial and residential bridging finance. Offering short to medium term loans for small and medium-sized UK businesses, they needed an updated website that reflected their flexible underwriting process.
Background & Brief
As part of a company rebrand, Peninsula Finance decided to invest in a new website to bring them bang up to date. As part of the relaunch, they wanted to streamline their offering, giving their clients a smoother, faster service. Their existing web content had become bloated and hard to read. Long sentences and longer paragraphs don’t make a financial bridging loan any easier to understand. So that meant new web copywriting.
Working with Lewis, from Tulu Design, we discussed what content Peninsula Finance needed. It turned out I needed to work with their existing web content. To make it easier to understand, and keep it as simple as possible for anyone visiting the site – whatever their financial background.
The web copywriting process
Thanks to Peninsula’s streamlined service offering, stripping away the old copy was easy. Working with the updated sitemap and existing site pages, I was able to see the extent of the copy required, and where it needed to go.
The remaining copy then needed some effective copyediting. By weeding out irrelevant or technical jargon, I could keep the copy short, simple, and direct. I then restructured it – keeping and editing essential elements – and wrote new key areas to add a human touch and a bit of style.
The site went live at the end of May. As a result, Peninsula Finance could present effective web copywriting that’s easy to read and understand. And it looks great when it’s part of a rebranded, slick, and responsive website.
