Information hierarchy

72Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Analytics consent banner — Full-width banner with two equal-weight buttons overlaps the fold and pulls attention off Get Ralo's Rate.
  2. Fine-print disclosure block — Five-line grey text wall sits directly under the CTA, adding dense legal copy to the primary scan path.
  3. Sign Up / Login pair — Login is styled as a filled dark pill matching the primary CTA weight, competing top-right in the scan path.
  4. Three rate cards — Three same-structure cards with six competing percentages force comparison work before the visitor reaches the CTA.

Mobile web

72Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Analytics consent banner — Dead blocker with no conversion CTA eats the bottom third of the viewport and buries the disclosure text.
  2. Cropped rate carousel — 15-Year and ARM cards are sliced mid-number at both edges with no swipe affordance, reading as broken overflow.

CTA

82Strong

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

Ralo

Problems

  • 'Ralo's' weaker than no-person copy
  • zero-commitment promise sits outside label

Value props

86Strong

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

Ralo’s headline sellsRates Worth Bragging AboutWe automated mortgages. Enjoy the savings.

Working

  • Emotion: pride in beating market rates
  • Live rates with −33 bps proof on-page
  • Names the mechanism: automation

Could improve

  • "Enjoy the savings" lacks a dollar figure
  • Mascot art decorates, doesn't demonstrate
  • No monthly payment translation of rates
