Claude loves headings

Instead of “can you make this better and use a nicer tone and maybe organize it for a website and don't make it too long…”, write it as labeled blocks — Task: rewrite this website section. Tone: professional, warm, simple. Format: short headline, subheadline, 3 bullets. Avoid: long paragraphs and generic claims. Cleaner, easier, better.

Give Claude the job

Start with the role so Claude knows how to think: act as a UX writer, a presentation designer, a website strategist, a senior editor, a coding assistant. With a role, Claude answers like the right person.

Give context before the task

A small trick: start with context, not the task. Better order: “We are a real estate developer in Dubai creating a premium company website. The audience is investors and buyers. Write homepage copy.” Context first, task second.

Which instruction is better?

A — “Make it nice.”

B — “Make it feel premium, short, and confident, like an Apple product page.”

Show answer

B — Claude now understands the style target.

Tell Claude what to avoid

Claude is helpful — sometimes too helpful. Give boundaries: do not add explanation, do not invent numbers, do not change the structure, only update this section, keep it short, use the same style.

Use output format

Claude gets much better when you say exactly how the answer should look: return as a table, as JSON, as slide-by-slide content, only the final copy, or with headings and bullets. Format is control.

Weak prompt

“Improve this.”

Claude will wonder: improve what, for whom, how much, in what style?

Strong prompt

“Act as a senior UX writer. Improve the following website hero section for a premium AI prompt generator called Prompaty. Keep it short, friendly, and clear. Return 3 headline options, 3 subheadline options, and 3 CTA options. Avoid technical language and long paragraphs.”
