Mobile web

58Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Preorder Now button — Desktop-proportioned pill instead of a full-width thumb-friendly mobile CTA.
  2. Backed by Y badge — Wraps to a second header row, truncates 'Combinator', and eats fold height without converting.
  3. Subhead copy defect — Missing space in 'superpower.See' reads as broken text on the primary value statement.

Value props

62Fair

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

Applied Electrodynamics, Inc.’s headline undersellsA new kind of cameraApplied Electrodynamics WaveSight is a new superpower. See through walls, and much more.

Working

  • 'See through walls' is concrete and visceral
  • 'A new superpower' hits an emotional note
  • Mystery headline builds curiosity

Could improve

  • Headline hides the true capability
  • No numbers, specs, or proof points
  • Hero image is dark, shows nothing working

CTA

66Fair

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

Applied Electrodynamics, Inc.
Vayyar (Walabot DIY)

Problems

  • purchase-level commitment, no price
  • button small vs. giant headline
  • labels differ: 'Preorder' vs 'Now'
  • low contrast olive on dark page

Information hierarchy

76Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Header Preorder button — Same-weight duplicate of the hero's Preorder Now splits the primary action's visual authority.
  2. Preorder Now button — Muted olive-on-black styling is too low contrast for the one action the page wants; it fails the one-second find test.
  3. Subtitle text block — The core explanation 'See through walls' is rendered in dim gray, far subordinate to a headline that names no benefit.
