“the content is the UX”
What It Means
The words and messaging on your application determine user experience and conversion more than visual design
Why It Matters
Most AI builders focus on making things look good but ignore the psychology of what makes users take action
When It's True
For conversion-focused applications, complex products, or when users need convincing to take action
When It's Risky
For purely functional tools or when visual trust and credibility are paramount
How to Apply
Prioritize copywriting optimization over visual tweaks
Study successful direct response examples
Test copy variations before design variations
Research user psychology and pain points
Example Scenario
“Two identical landing pages - one with researched copy addressing specific pain points converts at 5%, one with generic 'AI-generated' copy converts at 0.8%”
