Information hierarchy

72Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Three equal CTA buttons — GET A QUOTE, HOW IT WORKS, and CONTACT sit at similar weight, splitting the one action into three.
  2. INSTANT QUOTE nav button — Red-outlined nav CTA duplicates the hero's GET A QUOTE, making the visitor choose between two quote paths.
  3. CONTACT nav item — Boxed nav CONTACT duplicates the hero CONTACT button, adding a redundant exit above the fold.

CTA

72Fair

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

Mass Magnetics

Problems

  • competes with nav's 'INSTANT QUOTE'
  • two labels for same quote action
  • three hero buttons split attention
  • quote implies sales-call cost

Value props

72Fair

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

Mass Magnetics’s headline sellsDomestic Rare Earth MagnetsThe answer to vertically integrated, capital-light domestic motors.

Working

  • Names product + differentiator in 4 words
  • Supply-chain eyebrow hits buyer anxiety
  • Strong backer logos add credibility

Could improve

  • Subhead is jargon; says motors, not magnets
  • Zero numbers: no capacity, grade, lead time
  • Hero magnet graphic decorates, not demos

Mobile web

76Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Orphaned CONTACT button — Third CTA floats alone on its own row, duplicating the quote path and diluting the primary action.
  2. GET A QUOTE button — Primary CTA is half-width and shares a row with HOW IT WORKS instead of owning a full-bleed tap target.
