— 03 / Score breakdown
User Experience & StrategyIntentional journeys that earn the visitor's time. Strategy must be visible in the design, not assumed.
7.10
Visual Design & BrandingVisuals that feel both original and unmistakably on brand. Decorative competence is not enough.
7.10
Content & StorytellingMessaging that communicates value quickly and rewards deeper exploration. Words count as much as pixels.
7.50
Accessibility & InclusivityInclusive practices that serve diverse needs. Baseline compliance is the floor, not the ceiling.
8.10
Performance & Technical ImplementationEngineering that makes the experience feel immediate, stable, and trustworthy. Heavy sites do not win.
7.80
Responsiveness & Multi-device SupportLayouts that adapt fluidly across breakpoints and input modes — not just a mobile fallback of the desktop view.
8.30
