Everything about the PRO on the left, everything they made on the right. The 300px dossier column matches the brief rail's width, so the page reads as three aligned columns rather than a rail plus a wide blob. Portfolio becomes a fixed 2×2 mosaic with a "+14" overlay instead of a scroller — no horizontal gesture on desktop, and the whole sample is visible at once. The CTA sits at the foot of the dossier where the eye already is after reading the facts. Weakness: the card is 272px tall regardless of content, so three PROs fill the fold — fewer per screen than shipping today.

Closest to mobile's reading order — work, then who made it — but the work runs the full width. Four equal 180px frames instead of a scroller, so a homeowner comparing PROs is comparing four images against four images at identical size. The facts collapse from a stacked list to one wrapping line, which is what the width buys. Weakness: at 180px the imagery dominates a card whose actual job is qualification, and the facts wrap to two rows at this width rather than sitting on one.

My pick. One 130px row per PRO — identity, rating, facts, a 3-up portfolio and the actions all on one line — so three PROs fit above the fold instead of one. That matters more than image size here: Recommended is a shortlist you compare, and comparison needs adjacency. The fact line carries only location and price: at 312px a third fact clips to one character, and an icon with no readable text is worse than an absent one. Services and skills move into the click-through, where they can be read in full. The portfolio drops to 84px thumbnails, enough to recognise a style at a glance. Weakness: it stops looking like the mobile card, and a PRO with a long name plus both badges will truncate.

The reference layout, in our system. Three bands: a stacked header — name with Top Pro and Verified beside it, rating and completed count beneath, then a single non-wrapping row of icon facts, a full-width portfolio scroller with a floating next control, and a skills foot ending in a "+10 skills" link. The photo count is dropped from the meta line — the portfolio strip directly beneath already conveys it — so the facts read location, price and services on one line. It carries the mobile card's own vocabulary rather than the reference's: Top Pro and Verified badges in place of a plain "PRO" tag, the completed count bolded rather than tick-marked, and an ink Invite to bid — filled so it reads as the row's action, but not flame, which the system reserves for one primary per screen. The services fact names the services and clips to one line with an ellipsis rather than counting them. Weakness: 188px frames plus a skills row make this one of the tall layouts — roughly 400px per PRO, so one and a half fit the fold.

2d with the header lines swapped. Name and rating share line one; Top Pro and Verified drop to line two. The argument is that a rating is a ranked number a homeowner compares across PROs, while badges are pass/fail — so the comparable value earns the line the eye reads first, and the badges become a qualifying footnote beneath it. Weakness: the name now shares its line with three numerals, so a long studio name has less room before the rating wraps.

2e with the credentials folded onto the rating line. Name, rating, project count, Top Pro and Verified now run as one wrapping row in that order, and the count drops "completed" — the number and the word "projects" carry it. Everything a homeowner uses to judge a PRO sits on one line, so the header is two rows instead of three and the card loses ~35px. Weakness: five items on one line means the row wraps on a long studio name, and the badges then land under the rating rather than reading as a distinct tier.
