Need a copywriter - Retail website
Hello,
I feel incredibly out of my depth here, as I've never really looked into what a copy writer does, nevermind wanted to hire one, so go easy on me.
I'm an English/Law student, so writing, especially for websites has always come relatively easy for me and I feel that I can write to a reasonable standard. However, I've now come to realise that this 'standard' is in a different league to copy writers who seemingly sell the product through mere text.
Anyway, on with the request;
I am launching an online retail website in male fashion. I feel that I need someone with an outside perspective to write the 'About us' page as in this instance, I'm too close to the company and can't express what I want.
This page really sells the company and its products by stating what the company does and how it should appeal to our target market.
The page will be rather short, I'm looking for a few lines per paragraph, with say 3 paragraphs, although I'm sure this will depend on the writer.
In terms of budget, like I said at the beginning of the post, I have very little knowledge of copywriters. I've read a few threads but can't seem to find any for web pages rather than sales letters or emails.
I do have an idea of a realistic budget, but I'll let the quotes come in.
I'd prefer English to be the first language but isn't essential.
The deadline can be discussed with the chosen copywriter.
Also, any tips and advice for looking/choosing the right copywriter would be appreciated.
Regards,
Patrick
