Audit, test and measure every website.

Rubric checks your pages against 554 UX rules and tells you what to fix first. It predicts where attention lands, sends simulated visitors through the page, and measures the real ones. Built for agencies and freelancers who look after their clients' websites.

Findings

Grouped by severity — the only ranking here.
HIGH Homepage copy avoids jargon the audience doesn't share
homepage.copy-is-jargon-free

Observed — Homepage uses technical jargon without explanation: 'MCP' (Model Context Protocol), 'corpus', 'audit', 'checklist' are not defined for unfamiliar visitors. Example: 'serves a curated UX corpus to coding agents over MCP' assumes knowledge.

MEDIUM A lower-commitment path exists beside the primary CTA
conversion.secondary-cta-for-hesitant-users

Issue — The page lacks a low-commitment secondary path — only a single primary action with no fallback for visitors who aren't ready to commit yet.

MEDIUM A link that leaves the site says so before it is followed
Our own homepage, before this rewrite. Rubric flagged the jargon.

Four products · one rubric

Mark up a website the way a scribe marked a manuscript.

The rubric was the passage a scribe wrote in red so a reader could follow the text. Rubric does that to a page: before launch, and after it.

Analytics

Real visitors, no cookies, and a weekly read of what to fix.

What comes back

Four parts. Ready for the client report.

Each finding has four parts: the issue, why it matters, what to do, and the references behind it. Paste the issue into a client report; hand the actions to whoever builds the fix.

Issue

The page lacks a low-commitment secondary path — only a single primary action with no fallback for visitors who aren't ready to commit yet.

Impactpaid plans

Visitors not ready to act at the primary level have no way to engage; they leave instead of taking any step at all.

  • Add a secondary, lower-commitment option beside or beneath the primary CTA — e.g. "Download the brochure", "Watch a short overview", "Request a callback", or "Read client stories" — matched to what the page actually offers.
  • Style it as a text link or outlined button so it doesn't compete visually with the primary action.
  • Track completion per path so you understand which secondary options actually convert.
