Phase 11: Visual & UX

Visual & UX analysis checks responsive design, visual hierarchy, navigation patterns, and interactive elements. AI evaluates your site like a real user would-identifying confusing layouts, broken mobile views, and friction points that kill conversions. No templates, no assumptions-just what's actually wrong with your specific design.

  • Typography hierarchy and font consistency
  • Color contrast and accessibility
  • Spacing, rhythm, and alignment
Check Your Site

Three visual layers scored on every page.

Responsive design testing
Responsive testing

320px, 768px, 1024px, 1440px — every break flagged

Font consistency and hierarchy

We test your layout at every major breakpoint — small mobile, tablet, small desktop, large desktop — and flag exactly where text overlaps images, buttons get cut off, or navigation becomes unusable. Touch target sizing checked against the 44x44px minimum.

  • Font consistency, hierarchy, size relationships, readability at scale.
  • Touch target sizing for mobile interactions
  • Viewport meta tags and mobile optimization

Visual hierarchy scoring
Hierarchy scoring

Headings, weight, contrast, above-the-fold value

Contrast and accessibility

Heading hierarchy that does not progress logically. Above-the-fold content with no clear value proposition. Visual weight distributed evenly so nothing stands out. We score every page on hierarchy and identify where the eye gets lost.

  • Contrast ratios, accessibility compliance, brand color use, WCAG ratings.
  • Visual weight and contrast ratios
  • Content prioritization and above-the-fold value

Navigation and interaction usability
Navigation + interactions

Menu structure, button contrast, form usability

Spacing and responsiveness

Vague menu labels, hidden submenus, hamburger menus that fail on mobile. We map your navigation, score every link for clarity, check button contrast, and flag interactive components that do not meet usability standards.

  • Spacing, alignment, visual rhythm, mobile responsiveness, breakpoint handling.
  • Button contrast, sizing, and call-to-action visibility
  • Form usability and input field clarity

What Phase 11 actually finds.

Using too many fonts, inconsistent weights, or clashing pairs.

  • Using too many fonts, inconsistent weights, or clashing pairs.
  • Use flexible layouts that adapt to screen size
  • Verify touch target sizes meet minimum 44x44px standard

Text that does not meet WCAG AA minimum contrast.

  • Text that does not meet WCAG AA minimum contrast.
  • Position primary CTA above the fold on all devices
  • Use action-oriented button text that states clear value

Elements overlapping, text cut off, buttons unreachable on small screens.

  • Elements overlapping, text cut off, buttons unreachable on small screens.
  • Limit main navigation to 5-7 items maximum
  • Test mobile navigation for usability on small screens

Everything looks equally important, so nothing stands out. Headings don't guide the eye, content has no flow, and visitors don't know where to look first. Visual hierarchy tells users what matters most-without it, your message gets lost.

  • Primary buttons that do not stand out from body content.
  • Use whitespace to separate content sections
  • Apply visual weight strategically to guide attention

Common questions about visual & UX auditing

Is this subjective?

Design principles are mostly measurable, contrast, hierarchy, consistency, spacing. Phase 11 scores the measurable parts.

  • Design principles are mostly measurable, contrast, hierarchy, consistency, spacing.
  • Phase 11 scores the measurable parts.
Will it tell me to use specific colors?

No, it scores what you have, not what you should use.

  • No, it scores what you have, not what you should use.
  • Layout integrity and touch target sizing
Does it test mobile?

Yes, mobile is a separate scoring pass.

  • Yes, mobile is a separate scoring pass.
  • Mobile navigation usability patterns
What is the most common critical issue?

Color contrast failures. Almost every site has at least one.

  • Color contrast failures.
  • Almost every site has at least one.
Does Google care about design?

Probably. Most sites have mobile breakpoint issues their owners never noticed because they built the site on desktop. Text overlaps, buttons get cut off, images don't resize properly-these problems are invisible until you test at specific widths. The audit tests every major breakpoint and shows you exactly where things break.

  • Indirectly, bad design = higher bounce = lower rankings.
  • Specific breakpoint failure identification

  • Quantitative measurements not just visual review
  • Specific fix recommendations based on standards
