A workflow that survives real weeks

Customers judge microcopy on buttons in about five seconds. They are asking three silent questions: what is this, is it for me, what happens if I tap the button. Answer them above the fold.

Price it end to end. A cheap start plus a year of patching is rarely cheaper than getting microcopy on buttons right the first time, and the patching arrives when you are busiest.

Start with the decision, not the tool

The best examples of microcopy on buttons are boring on purpose. Clear words, obvious next step, nothing blinking. Personality lives in the copy and the photography, not in animation for its own sake.

Almost every failure we have seen with microcopy on buttons traces back to skipping the boring middle: naming things clearly, writing the confirmation message, testing on a real phone with real thumbs.

Making it easy for the customer
