CTA

Copy, size, verb, cost-feel — does the primary CTA earn the click?

Problems

  • no 'free' despite free product
  • hero CTA styled same as secondaries
  • outline style weakens hero button

Information hierarchy

72Fair

Does the design help or inhibit what the page is trying to say?

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Three equal ghost buttons — "Download", "Explore Features", and "Tutorials" share identical outlined styling, so the primary action has no visual priority.
  2. Hero Download button — The main conversion is a low-contrast outline while the header duplicate is filled — the stronger treatment sits in the weaker position.
  3. Seven-link nav row — Features, Guides, Release Notes, Tutorials, Help, About, and Resources offer seven exits before the visitor reaches the download.
  4. Posit PBC link — An underlined outbound link is the first interactive element in the hero, leaking attention off-site above the headline.
