First-time visitors who aren't logged in see the same hero + recent reviews as everyone else, with no obvious next step. We should call out what the site does and where to start.
Scope
- When
!auth.isAuthenticated()on the home page:- Replace the hero CTA with a clear "Find a judge" / "Browse courthouses" pair
- Add a "How it works" three-step section: 1. Find your judge / courthouse, 2. Read what others said, 3. Share your own experience
- Surface the "Sign up to share your experience" CTA at the section break, not just in the nav
- When
auth.isAuthenticated()but they have zero reviews of their own: surface a "Write your first review" CTA above the recently-published feed. - Once
MyReviewsViewships, link "Your reviews" prominently for return visitors.
Acceptance
- A logged-out visitor lands on a home page that explains the site and gives a clear next click.
- A logged-in visitor with zero reviews gets a personalized nudge to participate.
- The visual hierarchy makes "what to do next" obvious within 3 seconds of landing.
