Web Design Strategy

A strategic web design consultant skill built from Y Combinator's Design Review series — where YC partners critique real startup websites and landing pages.

This skill distills those reviews into an actionable framework: stage-aware design, the five-second filter, AI slop detection, conversion optimization, and a comprehensive QA checklist.

When to Use

This skill activates when you:

• Build a website or landing page for a product or startup
• Review or critique an existing site's design, messaging, or conversion flow
• Write hero copy, value propositions, or CTAs
• Plan information architecture for a marketing site

Examples

• "Build me a landing page for my developer tool"
• "Review this site and tell me what's wrong with the messaging"
• "Write hero copy for a B2B SaaS product targeting DevOps teams"
• "Audit this page — does it look like AI slop?"
• "What should go above the fold for a pre-launch waitlist page?"
