Appreciate the clarity here, Philip.

And I’ll admit: My About Page breaks half these rules.

It doesn’t start with the reader’s pain.

It doesn’t have a quick CTA.

It starts with a threshold.

Because I’m not optimizing for click-throughs.

I’m initiating alignment.

Some readers bounce.

But the right ones?

They stay, because they feel something crown-level.

Conversion is one form of power.

But coherence? That’s the real magnet.

Thanks for the frame. Always good to see how the machine thinks.

Looks like my about page is exactly what you say not to do! Thanks for the suggestions, I'm rethinking my page now.
