Value props

62Fair

Title, subtitle, hero — do they sell the product's true value?

Caddy’s headline undersellsStay on top of work and lifeMeet Caddy, your Personal AI

Working

  • Outcome-framed headline, not features
  • Hero mockup shows the product working
  • Real texted briefing demos the value

Could improve

  • Subhead adds zero specifics
  • "Personal AI" is a vague category label
  • No numbers or proof points in the fold

Information hierarchy

74Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Not receiving texts banner — Top banner with its own dark 'Click here' button is the first tappable element visitors see, pulling attention before the headline and CTA.
  2. Color dot switcher — Seven unlabeled theme dots sit at equal nav weight next to 'Get started', adding clickable noise with no conversion purpose.
  3. Get started button — A second styled CTA in the nav competes with 'Message Caddy' and splits the primary action into two labels.
  4. Placeholder emoji glyphs — Broken tofu characters render before each list item in the chat mockup, making the hero demo look unfinished.

CTA

82Strong

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

Ohai

Problems

  • competes with nav 'Get started'
  • banner adds third label 'Click here'
  • no cost signal (free unverified)

Mobile web

82Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Support banner top — "Not receiving texts?" targets existing users, yet occupies the first pixels every new visitor sees and pushes the hero down.
  2. Message Caddy button — Primary CTA keeps its desktop pill proportions instead of stretching near-full-bleed for an easy thumb tap.
  3. Color dot picker — Theme-swatch row in the header is a decorative distraction competing with the hamburger and hero for attention.
