[Fix Value props](https://www.lazyweb.com/plans/checkout?plan=individual&source=growth_score_feature_build_fixes)

## Value props — 52/100

We evaluate whether the title, subtitle, and hero communicate the product’s true value.

### Working

- The subhead states the consolidation claim: **“Zaplar replaces PMS, POS, and every tool in between.”**
- The audience is named clearly: **hoteliers**.
- A real product screen is shown alongside a YC badge.

### Could improve

- The headline, **“Built for exceptional hoteliers,”** does not explain the product.
- No numbers or concrete outcomes are shown.
- The hero UI is too small and dark to read.

### Value-proposition ranking

1. Mews — 76
2. roomMaster (WebRezPro alternative) — WebRezPro — 72
3. Apaleo — 62
4. Stayntouch — 62
5. Cloudbeds — 56
6. Zaplar — 52

## Trust — 58/100

We evaluate proof that the product is real, competent, and safe to try.

| --- | --- |
| Zaplar | Y Combinator badge above the headline |

| Cloudbeds | Implicit context may benefit from pre-existing familiarity among its target audience. |
| Apaleo | Customer logo bar: citizenM, Numa, Valk Exclusief, Limehome, Mollie’s, SMARTments, nestor, easyHotel |
| Stayntouch | HotelTechReport badge showing a star rating with “153 REVIEWS” |
| roomMaster (WebRezPro alternative) — WebRezPro | “More than 2,000 properties worldwide trust WebRezPro to run their operations.” |

## Mobile web — 58/100

We evaluate the phone experience as a first-class experience.

1. **Primary CTA below fold:** The “Book a demo” button sits at the very bottom of a long scroll, so visitors must pass the full-height monitor image before reaching it.
2. **Oversized headline wrap:** “Built for exceptional hoteliers” wraps into three towering lines and dominates about a third of the viewport.
3. **Illegible product screenshot:** The desktop-app monitor render contains micro-text that is unreadable at phone size.
4. **Narrow demo button:** “Book a demo” is a desktop-proportioned pill floating in the column rather than a full-bleed, thumb-friendly bar.

## CTA — 68/100

We evaluate the primary CTA’s copy, size, verb, and perceived commitment.

The identified problems are:

- High-commitment sales-call feel
- No low-intent alternative path
- Small hero button on desktop

The CTA ranking is:

1. Mews — 72
2. Apaleo — 72
3. Stayntouch — 72
4. roomMaster (WebRezPro alternative) — WebRezPro — 72
5. Cloudbeds — 70
6. Zaplar — 68

[Rewrite this CTA](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=zaplar.com#opt-cta-writing) to generate primary and secondary CTA options grounded in Zaplar’s offer and visitor objections.

## Information hierarchy — 78/100

We evaluate whether the design helps or inhibits what the page is trying to say.

1. **Product screenshot on monitor:** The UI is too small and dim to read at desktop scale, so the fold’s largest focal point communicates little.
2. **Headline near fold edge:** “Built for exceptional hoteliers” and its CTA sit at the very bottom of the viewport, requiring a scan past 600px of imagery before the message lands.
3. **Nav links Home–Contact:** Four generic navigation links, including a redundant “Home,” compete with the single demo action and leak attention.
