Captivate clients, catapult conversions and crush website crises with a leg-up from a leading UK freelance copywriter.
Hi. I'm Mike.
I'm an experienced UK freelance copywriter and website copywriter who creates brilliantly effective, tailored copy for companies large and small.
Copy designed to attract new clients and quickly help them understand why they should do business with you.
It's that simple. Even if it is kinda hard to do.
Why hiring a novice copywriter could be a disaster for your business...
Great writing is really hard to pull off.
Whether it's a website, a one-page promo sheet, a brochure or a marketing email, every word, sentence and snippet of critical information MUST count.
Or you'll lose your audience. And your sales won't just suffer. They'll die.
-
Did you know that 80% of readers will get no further than your headline?
-
Or that poorly planned websites will befuddle your readers and leave them clueless about what to do next?
Copywriting is no place for amateurs or bargain-basement newcomers.
And don't even get me started on AI! Handing over your website to ChatGPT or Gemini is like asking Gollum to look after the family silver.
Copywriting is a critical process that underpins your ENTIRE business. So don't wing it...
The nuclear sign. Must be really bad.

How hiring me as your website content writer can
your business...
Here's what it all boils down to: experience. I've been working as a freelance content specialist for more than 15 years.
Which means I can write great copy quicker and more effectively than anyone I know. And I can do it with SEO, conversion and UX built in.
I have written more than 5,000 pieces of copy for large businesses such as Harrods – and small businesses like dentists and podcast producers.
Whatever your organisation, I can find a way to make it brilliantly easy to understand and highly attractive to your customers.
Hire a UK freelance copywriter to do it all for you (meaning less stress, better results and faster turnaround!)
If creating copy isn't your day job, there's a real chance you won't get it right. You might even get it spectacularly wrong.
So... you do you. And let me do the heavy lifting.
It's my job as an experienced freelance copywriter for websites and other marketing material to put your business in the best possible light – exactly as I have for countless other organisations, both here in the UK and all over the world.
Companies in mainland Europe, for example, regularly hire me as an international copywriter whenever they need pristine English-language copy for their non-UK-based clients.
My mission is simple. I'm on a quest to find the words that will help your business grow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need freelance website copywriting services in order to attract clients?
An experienced freelance website writer understands how to communicate key messages in a succinct way. Company owners sometimes over-complicate things when trying to write their own sites. And marketing teams sometimes just don't give good copy! A specialist like me can help with all of your content creation, and in an SEO-friendly manner, too. My goal as a freelance website content writer is to give you two things: great copy, and a clear idea of how your website will work. So it's not just a Word doc – it's a whole package of what goes where and why!
Hey, Mr Website Writer! Why is my website not performing as well as I want it to?
If you hire a writer for website content who doesn't understand the myriad components that make up a successful site (or the copywriting process behind it), you're going to end up with a mediocre website. Your web content will likely be more 'meh' than 'wow!'. So keep asking yourself how you (or your content specialist) can improve your site, as your website needs constant fine-tuning! Check out my blog for some tips – especially if you're launching a new website. Most UK website content writers have their own sites, so check some of those out for top tips, too.
What does it cost to book a UK copywriter for my content marketing or website copy?
Ah, the $64,000 question. The truth is: we're all different. Freelance copywriter prices range from from £200 a day to £1,500 a day or more. Me? Tell me what you need, and I will give you a quote within 48hrs. One thing to bear in mind if you hire a freelancer when you need content for marketing is that it will usually work out cheaper than going with a copywriting agency. Lower overheads, and all that! In brief, the range of freelance copywriters UK businesses can turn to is vast, varying from entry-level writers to seasoned professional copywriters with years of experience. But here's one key thing to remember: copywriting a website takes quite a bit of time, so it's not going to be cheap.
What else do you do apart from content writing for web sites and web copywriting?
My copywriter services cover everything you need. If required, I can even handle your entire website project – including briefing designers. As well as being an accomplished content writer for websites, I look after: * Brochures * Company reports * White papers * Advertorial copywriting and sponsored content * Email sequences * LinkedIn descriptions and ghostwritten articles * Copywriting for SEO (search engine optimization) + Online marketing (landing pages, blogs, forms, microcopy, etc.) And any other kind of freelancing where persuasive copy and rock-solid writing skills are needed. It's my mission to be the all-round freelance copywriter UK clients and those from further afield can rely on. There are plenty of UK content writers around, so I always try to go above and beyond when working with clients. Why not hit the green 'CONTACT ME' button at the top and we can discuss what you need? I'm very much a copywriter for hire and sometimes have availability within a week or two of initial contact.
Does a copywriter for websites come up with creative ideas – or do I need someone else?
I can't speak for everyone, but I love coming up with creative ideas. I've been helping people to tackle creative challenges and develop new ideas for more than two decades – brand story/brand voice included. If you're in the early phases of web development and wondering when to get a copywriter in, the answer is... yesterday! Drop me a line for some examples of my work across multiple digital platforms – whether you need a blog copywriter, SEO content writing or something else.
I need some copy pretty urgently. Are you available? How do I get in touch with you?
Just send me an email or call me (details at the bottom of this page) or hit the big green 'CONTACT ME' button at the top and we can get the ball rolling – whatever your project or target market. When you're looking for a content writer to hire or someone who can help make marketing copy sparkle, I have a great track record and I'm here to help. Am I one of the best UK freelance copywriters?
