Information hierarchy

72Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Header Get Started button — Dark green button nearly disappears into the dark navy sky background, and it duplicates the hero CTA at equal weight.
  2. Top quiz banner — A second conversion path ('Take the quiz') sits above everything, competing with 'Get started' before the value prop is read.
  3. Hero Get started button — Dark green on mid-blue sky yields low contrast for the single most important element on the page.
  4. Nav pill bar — Five nav links float in a highlighted pill at the fold's center-top, drawing eye-level attention away from the headline.

CTA

72Fair

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

Problems

  • generic label, no payoff named
  • label case drift: hero vs nav
  • quiz bar competes with hero CTA

Value props

78Fair

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

Gutgutgoose’s headline sellsBetter gut health with personalized probioticsNo more guessing which probiotic might work. Test your microbiome with full DNA sequencing, get a made-to-order formula, then retest for proof of which strains colonized.

Working

  • Subhead names test-formulate-retest mechanism
  • "No more guessing" hits real frustration
  • Product jar hero matches the claim

Could improve

  • Headline is generic to any probiotic
  • No numbers: strains, days, users
  • Emotional payoff of relief unstated

Mobile web

78Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Broken word wrap — "made-to-order" splits mid-word into "m ade-to-order", reading as a rendering bug in the key value copy.
  2. Get Started button — Desktop-proportioned pill floats centered; on mobile it should stretch near full-bleed for the thumb.
  3. Quiz promo bar — Sticky top bar adds a second competing CTA above the logo and eats first-viewport height.
