Creation(05)Posts people actually stop for.
I write each post in your voice with a first line that earns attention, design on-brand graphics, help you get real photos of your work, add captions and alt text, and size every post for the channel it’s going to.

What is social media post creation?
Post creation is everything that goes into a single post: the words, the graphic or photo, the captions and alt text, and the right size and format for each channel it’s posted to.
Why it matters
People scroll past most posts in a second. A clear first line, a real photo and a design that looks right on a phone are what make someone stop, read and remember your name. Done consistently, it makes your business look as good online as it is in person.
01 · Words and design
Copywriting
Written the way you talk.
Every post starts with a first line that gives people a reason to stop, makes one point in plain words and ends with a single next step. I write in your voice, not corporate brand-speak, and draft a few versions of the important ones before picking the best.

02 · Words and design
Graphics
On brand, every single post.
I set up a simple brand kit with your colors and fonts, then build a set of templates for the posts you share most, like tips, stats, reviews and announcements. Every graphic looks like you, and the text is big enough to read on a phone.
Illustrative graphics. Designs are examples.
03 · Photos and captions
Photo direction
Real photos, from your phone.
Real photos of your work beat stock every time. I send you a short shot list each month with simple tips on framing and light, so you or your team can grab what’s needed in a few minutes a week. I pick the best shots and edit them for each post.

04 · Photos and captions
Captions
Easy to follow, even on mute.
Most people watch social videos with the sound off, so every video gets on-screen captions. Every post gets a clear caption, alt text so images work for everyone, and a few relevant hashtags instead of thirty random ones.
Illustrative captions. Wording is an example.
05 · Fit every channel
Channel sizing
The right size for every channel.
Each channel wants a different shape: square or tall in the feed, full-height for Reels and Shorts, wide for YouTube thumbnails. I resize every design for where it’s going and keep the important text inside the safe zone, so nothing gets cropped.
Illustrative sizes. Designs are examples.
