Information hierarchy

72Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Hero Start a pilot — Pale blue, small footprint — weaker than the nav duplicate, so the primary action loses the visual contest.
  2. Four nav links — How it works, Aircraft, Founders, Contact sit at equal weight and leak attention before the CTA.
  3. Terrain image tile — The only brand-world visual is cropped at the fold's bottom edge instead of anchoring the hero.

CTA

72Fair

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

Aviern
Skyfront-independent: LineVision alternative excluded

Problems

  • hero button small vs. headline
  • click implies sales process
  • no payoff microcopy near button

Mobile web

72Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Hero Start a pilot — Small desktop-proportioned button sits below the first viewport instead of a full-width thumb target.
  2. Four-line headline — Headline scales down too little and wraps to four dense lines, pushing the CTA off-screen.
  3. Five-line subhead — Long desktop paragraph stacks five lines on the phone, adding scroll depth before the action.

Value props

76Fair

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

Aviern’s headline sellsWe fly your right-of-way and hand back every inspection you are required to file.One pass returns the imagery, the encroachment findings, the leak signatures and the terrain model. Georeferenced to the milepost, in the formats your GIS already reads.

Working

  • Outcome-first headline: filings, not flights
  • Subhead lists four concrete deliverables
  • 'Formats Aviern's GIS already reads' kills objection

Could improve

  • No numbers: turnaround, miles, accuracy
  • Empty hero space; no deliverable shown
  • Emotional payoff (relief) left implicit
