Mobile web

72Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture1234
  1. Announcement bar — The '$47 Million' promo bar plus header forms a double-decker sticky stack that eats the top of the first viewport before the hero starts.
  2. Get a quote now — Primary CTA sits near the bottom edge of the fold at pill width, not full-bleed, and competes with a duplicate 'Get Quoted' in the header.
  3. Chat bubble widget — Floating chat bubble overlaps the 'We make' section headline text, obscuring content as the user scrolls.
  4. Hero body paragraph — Seven lines of desktop-length copy push both CTAs to the very bottom of the first viewport.

Information hierarchy

78Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Banner Read more button — Coral pill matching the primary CTA's weight sits at the very top, pulling the first click toward funding news instead of a quote.
  2. Nav Get Quoted button — Duplicate coral CTA competes with the hero's 'Get a quote now', splitting the single-action focus of the fold.
  3. Phone number in nav — The '(415) 573-3877' link adds a third action path in the header before the visitor reaches the hero CTA.

CTA

78Fair

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

Problems

  • 4 words — past 3-word ideal
  • nav says 'Get Quoted' — label mismatch

Value props

78Fair

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

Harper’s headline sellsBusiness insurance that works for you.You make one call, we make the rest. We take the time to learn about your business, work every market that can write it, and bring back the right coverage at the right price. Fast, because we know exactly where to go.

Working

  • 'One call, we make the rest' nails the mechanism
  • Three-step strip clarifies who does what
  • 'Harper never chase anyone' hits the pain

Could improve

  • H1 is a generic category claim
  • Zero numbers: no speed, savings, markets
  • Hero image is empty — nothing demonstrated
