[Build a proof section](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=cardboard.ai#opt-trust-signals) with proof signals, copy, and placement for a stronger trust section.

## Value props — 72, Fair

We assess whether the title, subtitle, and hero sell the product’s true value.

Cardboard’s headline is **“Edit videos in minutes, not hours”**. The report marks it as underselling the product.

**Working:**

- Time-saving outcome, not features
- Mobile demo shows a real AI prompt flow
- Concrete detail: 60s film, 19 min b-roll

**Could improve:**

- No subhead explaining how it works
- Desktop editor mockup is empty
- AI angle is invisible on the desktop fold

### Value-proposition ranking

1. Descript — 78
2. Veed — 78
3. Cardboard — 72
4. Kapwing — 72
5. Captions — 70
6. invideo AI — 68

## CTA — 76, Fair

We assess CTA copy, size, verb, and cost-feel.

The report identifies these Cardboard CTA problems:

- Generic label with no product payoff
- No header echo of “minutes”
- Prompt box visible, but not the CTA

The comparison captures show CTAs or in-product actions for Cardboard, Descript, Captions, Veed, Kapwing, and invideo AI.

### CTA ranking

1. Descript — 84
2. Captions — 82
3. Veed — 82
4. Kapwing — 78
5. invideo AI — 78
6. Cardboard — 76

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

## Information hierarchy — 78, Fair

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

![Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/cardboard.ai.jpg?v=2026-09-22T20%3A45%3A14.052%2B00%3A00)

1. **Learn more button:** It has the same size and position weight as the primary CTA, splitting the hero click two ways.
2. **Duplicate nav Get started:** A second identically labeled CTA in the navigation competes with the hero button instead of reinforcing it.
3. **Edge-cropped film thumbnails:** Half-cut clips at the viewport edges read as rendering glitches rather than intentional brand texture.

[View the layout plan](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=cardboard.ai#opt-information-hierarchy) to turn these callouts into a sequenced plan to keep, move, merge, or remove elements.

## Mobile web — 82, Strong

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

![Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/cardboard.ai-mobile.jpg?v=2026-09-22T20%3A45%3A14.052%2B00%3A00)

1. **Get started button:** It floats at partial width; mobile allows a near-full-bleed, thumb-friendly CTA.
2. **Clipped preview text:** Background copy is cut mid-word (“deos with AI”), making the crop look broken.
