§ I — Website design audit
Sites that work. And sites that don't.
Every competitor in the run is rated on five design dimensions — visual hierarchy, content density, mobile responsiveness, findability under three buyer intents, and editorial trust signals — then aggregated to a single weighted 1–10 score. Any sub-dimension scoring six or below is required to carry a written reviewer note. Cards are sorted by overall design rating, highest first. Top scores tell you who to study; bottom scores tell you where the category is weak.
