The Crit gives you informed, structured feedback on visual design work — what is working, what needs improvement, and why. Bring a portfolio, product UI, branding work, a marketing site, a case study — anything you want a real set of eyes on when you need specifics, not vague praise.

Can I paste a URL or do I have to upload files?

Both. Paste a link to a page you want reviewed, or upload images (for example PNG or JPG). Use whatever matches how your work is shared today.

How fast will I get feedback?

Most critiques are ready in under 60 seconds — you’ll get an email with a link as soon as it’s done.

How does pricing work?

Your first critique is free. After that, each submission uses 1 credit. Credit packs start at $5 for one credit, $12 for three, or $29 for ten — no subscription.

How is this different from asking friends?

Friends often say it looks good. The Crit focuses on design craft, clarity, and UX — so you get concrete observations and priorities instead of polite encouragement.

Where can I read about data and privacy?

See our Privacy Policy at https://thecrit.co/privacy for how submissions are handled.

Takeaway

Confident work with a clear visual system. Your type hierarchy and whitespace are the standouts. Two unlocks: darken body text for contrast and surface case study CTAs higher.

StrengthTypography

Beautiful type hierarchy — your Fraunces / sans pairing carries real confidence through every section.

IssueAccessibility

Orange body text on white reads at 3.2:1 contrast — below WCAG AA. Darken to neutral-800 or bump the size.

SuggestionUX Flow

Case study CTAs are buried at the bottom. Surface a secondary link in the first fold to catch scroll-stoppers.

Takeaway

Beautiful hero, but the narrative unravels below the fold. Scroll reveals overshadow your product copy, and the primary CTA shifts position three times.

StrengthBrand Presence

Opening frame lands with confidence — the wordmark, gradient field, and product still carry a cohesive point of view.

IssueNarrative Hierarchy

Three CTA position shifts in the first scroll create decision fatigue. Commit to one primary action above the fold.

SuggestionMotion

Scroll-triggered reveals are stacking on every section. Pick two hero moments and let the rest render statically.

Takeaway

Data density is solid, but discoverability of key actions is weak. Primary workflows sit two clicks deep and the empty state gives no guidance on what to do next.

StrengthInformation Density

Table composition is disciplined — right-aligned numbers, zebra rows, and consistent column widths make scanning easy.

IssueAction Discoverability

"Create report" lives only in the overflow menu. First-time users never find it without a tour.

SuggestionEmpty State

Add a two-line prompt and a primary button in the empty dashboard. Don't leave new users staring at an empty grid.

Reactions vs. critique

“🔥🔥🔥” isn't a design note.

It's easy to get reactions. It's much harder to get useful feedback. The Crit shows you what's not working, why it matters, and where to focus first.

FIX
Hero CTA is competing with the logo
Both sit at 56px, similar weight. Drop the logo to 22px so the CTA leads the eye.
FIX
Body copy is 14px on a 1440 canvas
Reads as small print. 17–18px — your line-length is already tight enough to hold it.
POLISH
Mixed corner radii across cards and buttons
Cards are 12px, buttons 16px. Unify on 12px — the smaller radius reads more premium.
STRENGTH
Section rhythm is working
The 96px vertical is giving real editorial energy. Don't flatten it.

Specific. Prioritized. You know what to fix first.

Keep the group chat for celebrating.
Bring the work here.
