Copy & Design: How to avoid looking fancy at the expense of clarity

In this week’s podcast, Connor Kane joins Gabriella Ferenczi to talk about the power of clear and effective communication and the principle of keeping things simple when it comes to website design and copy.

Connor is a language coach based in the US. He has a professional marketing background in web design and strategy and has just launched his very own language training business.

In our conversation, we cover a wide range of marketing topics such as why it’s difficult to charge a higher price for your services if all you have is an Instagram page.

He shares some valuable tips about what to pay attention to when you DIY your website to make sure that you convey the value that you bring to the table for your customer.

We talk about letters, fonts, colours and design and how we can nail the right balance.

Connor also explains why it’s so important to listen to our clients and the words they use when they talk about the challenges they have as it relates to our language services.

As he puts it:

Listen to how your customers describe their problems. The words they use to are more powerful than our own words. Use their language to connect with them and help them imagine a world where their problems don’t exist anymore.
