Mobile web

58Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Cookie banner overlaps CTA — Dead consent banner sits on the 'Shop now' button, blocking the only tap on the page.
  2. Clipped Shop now button — Primary CTA is cut off at the fold edge and rendered small, not a full-width thumb target.
  3. Truncated press logos — Logo strip clips 'Fo...' mid-word at the right edge, looking broken instead of scrollable.

Value props

62Fair

Title, subtitle, hero — do they sell the product's true value?

Working

  • No subhead naming the mechanism
  • Zero numbers or specifics

CTA

Copy, size, verb, cost-feel — does the primary CTA earn the click?

AirCaps

Problems

Information hierarchy

78Fair

Does the design help or inhibit what the page is trying to say?

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Cookie banner over CTA — The consent bar covers the bottom half of the hero "Shop now" button, hiding the primary action on both captures.
  2. Logo strip overlaps hero — Press logos sit on top of the glasses' temples, colliding with the brand image and reading as clutter mid-photo.
  3. Duplicate Shop now buttons — The nav "Shop now" pill matches the hero CTA's weight, splitting attention between two identical actions in one fold.
