Quick guide / Clarity

A ten-minute sense check for whether the home page explains the offer soon enough.

If the home page looks decent but new visitors still seem uncertain, this is a good place to start. It will tell you whether the page is doing its basic job.


Run this check

  • In the first two lines, is it clear who the site is for?
  • Does the headline explain the outcome, not just the service?
  • Is the primary call to action visible without scrolling?
  • Can a visitor see proof (testimonial, case study, or evidence) within the first screen?
  • Are there more than 7 items in the main navigation?
  • Does every section answer a real question, or is any filler?

If the answers are weak

If you answered "no" to more than two of these, the page is likely confusing to new visitors. A small restructure can often fix it without a full redesign.

If you want another pair of eyes on it, see our services or contact us.
