CTA

30Poor

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

  • no button, input, or nav link
  • spec cards are not clickable
  • interested visitors dead-end

Mobile web

58Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Oversized logo lockup — The Vassar Robotics logo occupies a large slice of the first viewport before the headline begins, pushing content down.
  2. Long spec/stat stack — Torque-density callout, prototype spec block, and keyword tags stack into a dense wall of numbers with no action between them.

Information hierarchy

64Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture12
  1. Drafting-sheet corner markers — "DWG · VR-001 / 00 / 14 / REV A" occupies the bottom-right scan terminus where the primary action should land.
  2. Top-right breadcrumb label — "VASSAR ROBOTICS /" microtext sits in prime header real estate without linking or directing anywhere.

Value props

84Strong

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

Vassar Robotics’s headline sellsGearbox-Free Arms Built for Robot LearningTransverse-flux direct drive deletes the gearbox from every joint — demonstrations at full human speed, an actuator your simulator can actually model, fleets that don't drift with wear.

Working

  • Names mechanism and audience in 7 words
  • Subhead lists 3 concrete researcher pains
  • Real specs: 3 N·m, 500 RPM, ≈6–10× density

Could improve

  • No hero image showing the arm in action
  • ≈6–10× lacks a stated baseline
  • Subhead opens with jargon before payoff
