How to write copy for website interfaces

UI design is an incredible challenge. To do it right, you need a unique blend of many different skills. You need to be a good visual designer, with a strong eye for hierarchy; to know programming, so you can implement your work; to understand a problem's complexity at a macro level, and then zoom in on the details of each step in a flow; to be a creative, to imagine new approaches and ideas; to communicate your rationale to others, and remain open-minded to critical feedback; and to be a good writer.

Good writing is the secret sauce. It's the best way to reduce confusion in an interface, but the hardest thing to get right.
