  • Value & differentiationJudgment

    1 of 2 checks pass. Concrete benefit: Outside the modal, the promo bar offers only a sale: "20% Off Super-Plush Robes"; "Super-Plush" is praise. No checkable product claim.

  • Design & hierarchyBoth

    3 of 5 checks pass. Single focal point: A signup modal dominates the lower viewport; the hero image is mostly hidden behind it and no clear merchandising focal point remains. First screen unobstructed: A promotional signup modal "Hi, want 15% off?" with "Sign up for texts & emails!" interrupts the viewport.

  • Copy & voiceJudgment

    Both checks pass. Original wording: Promo bar "48-Hours Only Singles' Day Sale" with "Super-Plush Robes" is specific wording naming the offer, beyond a stock phrase.

  • Call to actionBoth

  • RelevanceBoth

    Both checks pass. Guest access: Modal asks for text and email signup, not sign-in, and offers "No thanks, I'll pay full price"; shopping nav pills are visible.

  • TrustBoth

    Both checks pass. Logo in header: "brooklinen" wordmark is clearly legible in the header and again at the top of the modal.

  • Technical hygieneCheck

    4 of 5 checks pass. Text size: fail.
