Definitions
The practice of designing the words that appear in user interfaces, such as labels, prompts, errors, confirmations, and onboarding text, so products are clearer and easier to use. It is a specialized discipline at the intersection of product design, writing, and psychology.
In plain English: Writing the words inside a product so the interface is easier to understand and use.
Example: "The funnel improved when they treated error messages as UX writing problems instead of just copy cleanup."
