Ready For a UX WRITING Challenge?

14 Days UX Writing Challenge

Welcome!! Here is a Shout to another challenge. Before moving forward, let me give you a small intro about today’s challenge.👇

Intro

This Challenge is called 14 days UX Writing Challenge. This 14-days UX writing challenge is a newsletter that sends out a challenge to your email for 14 business days (Weekdays).

All we have to do is find the right words and put them into the content according to the given character limit. And if you are a fan of designing like me, do a small design for each challenge. 😉 That’s all, then all the work will be done.

What is UX Writing?

UX writing is the deed of writing copy for user-facing touchpoints. This copy must not only represent the voice of the organization but must also be considerate and useful for the user.

UX writing helps users comprehend how to use and interact with software products, including desktop and mobile apps, games, and other “multimodal” experiences, including voice interactions (think talking TVs, Google Home devices, or car interfaces). The primary goal of UX writing is to guide users to complete tasks in web products or mobile apps.

Who is UX Writer?

A User Experience Writer (UX Writer) is the person who creates copy for apps, websites, and other digital products that help users navigate the product.

Moreover, a UX writer might find the words for menus, definitions, buttons, labels, chatbots, error messages, or instructions to guide first-time users through a product.
