Mobile web

58Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture1234
  1. Uncollapsed nav row — ROADMAP, JOIN US, icon button, and CTA crammed into one row instead of a hamburger, squeezing the quote button.
  2. Hero without message — The first viewport is only a photo — headline, subhead, and any in-flow CTA are all pushed below the fold.
  3. Four-line headline wrap — Desktop-sized headline scales down too little and wraps into four cramped lines below the fold.
  4. Sparkle icon button — Unlabeled icon-only Constellation button gives no clue what it does and crowds the primary CTA.

Trust

Proof that the product is real, competent, and safe to try.

CTA

68Fair

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

Cosmic Robotics

Problems

  • quote request feels costly/committal
  • no CTA in the hero itself
  • nav-only placement limits footprint

Value props

76Fair

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

Cosmic Robotics’s headline sellsAUTONOMOUS CONSTRUCTION ON EARTH AND BEYONDRobotic equipment for the world's critical infrastructure. The first frontier: solar and data centers.

Working

  • Hero photo shows the robot actually working on site
  • Subhead names real markets: solar and data centers
  • Headline states the category with ambition, not fluff

Could improve

  • No numbers: speed, cost, or install-rate proof
  • "ON EARTH AND BEYOND" reads aspirational, not concrete
  • Buyer outcome (faster builds, fewer crews) unstated

Information hierarchy

78Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture12
  1. Constellation nav button — Teal-outlined button matches the primary CTA's weight and sits beside it, splitting the click.
  2. Footer social row — Four social icons plus 'STAY UP TO DATE' and a YC badge creep into the fold, adding six exits before the quote request.
