- Arielle Aaronson, Literary Translator
The brief
A “home” to present a literary translator’s portfolio and generate leads for new contracts. No free first-time translations or other offers were to be promoted.
Outcome
-
A simple website that personifies the translator’s self-professed “bookwormy” yet sassy character through an informal tone that feels like a one-to-one conversation.
-
I don't tell but instead, show the reader how the translator promises to deliver quality work that doesn’t stray from the author’s voice; “well told”; “stay true"; "feel the original penmanship”; "vigorous editing".
-
Localization is a key requirement for a professional translator, yet competitors fell short of promoting this all-important skill on their own marketing materials. Here I put it up front as a compelling reason to work with Arielle.
-
The FAQs screen potential leads, allowing her to qualify and convert the "right" clients.
-
Two call-to-action points push visitors to get in touch in addition to her contact me details.
