Mobile web

48Poor

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Eight-line headline stack — "SCALING CHIPS DOWN TO THEIR PHYSICAL LIMITS 15X FASTER" barely scaled down from desktop and wraps into eight lines, consuming most of the fold.
  2. Y Combinator badge — The "Backed by Y Combinator" badge sits above the headline at full width, pushing the value statement and everything after it further down.

Trust

52Fair

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

CTA

62Fair

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

Inversion Semiconductor

Problems

  • no CTA visible in mobile fold
  • 'Contact us' feels costly
  • button small vs. huge headline
  • unlabeled arrow icon beside it

Information hierarchy

78Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Unlabeled arrow button — Sits beside the primary CTA at equal footprint with no label, splitting the single action into two ambiguous choices.
  2. Bottom-right CONTACT US — Primary CTA lands at the far bottom-right corner, outside the left-anchored scan path set by the headline; a duplicate also sits in the nav.
  3. Headline weight fade — The gray middle line 'THEIR PHYSICAL LIMITS' reads as de-emphasized, breaking one sentence into uneven visual weights.

Value props

82Strong

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

Inversion Semiconductor’s headline sellsSCALING CHIPS DOWN TO THEIR PHYSICAL LIMITS 15X FASTERWe are building the next-generation semiconductor lithography platform, by shrinking particle accelerators 1000x.

Working

  • Concrete numbers: 15X and 1000x
  • Outcome-led headline, not features
  • Hero image shows the real machine

Could improve

  • '15X faster' lacks a comparison baseline
  • 'We are building' is company-centric
  • No emotional hook for fab buyers
