Information hierarchy

74Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. News announcement banner — Fundraise banner sits above the brand and hero, pulling first attention to a press story that exits the page.
  2. Instant Quote button — Styled at the same white weight as the hero's Get Metal Fast, creating two equal primary CTAs in one fold.
  3. Top navigation row — Five nav links plus Cart and Log in give seven exit paths before the visitor reaches the hero promise.

Trust

Value props

82Strong

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

Nox Metals’s headline sellsMetal at the speed of softwareAluminum plate and bar, cut to size. Get instant pricing and delivery options online.

Working

  • Sharp, ownable positioning line
  • Subhead names product and outcome plainly
  • Aerospace logos add real credibility

Could improve

  • Hero shows code, not the quote tool
  • No hard number (e.g. quote in 30s)
  • $11.5M banner outshines proof in copy

CTA

84Strong

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

Nox Metals

Problems

  • 3 labels for one action
  • arrow suffix adds no meaning
  • outcome vague vs 'instant quote'
