Value props

62Fair

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

Dome’s headline sellsAPIs for Prediction MarketsSupport for Polymarket Kalshi and more. Read the docs.

Working

  • Instantly clear category and audience
  • Names Polymarket and Kalshi by brand
  • YC badge adds credibility signal

Could improve

  • No concrete data types or outcomes named
  • Zero numbers (endpoints, latency, markets)
  • No code sample or product demo in fold

Information hierarchy

72Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Announcement banner links — The 'Read more in our blog' link sits directly above the hero and pulls first-glance attention off the page before the CTA is seen.
  2. Oversized three-line headline — 'APIs for Prediction Markets' fills nearly half the fold, pushing the 'Sign Up for Free' CTA to the bottom edge of the scan path.
  3. Inline docs link — The 'docs' text link sits immediately above the primary CTA and offers an exit one line before the ask.
  4. Nav exit cluster — Blog, Docs, Contact, Join Discord and Log In present five same-weight exits before the visitor reaches the hero.

Mobile web

82Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture1
  1. Two-line news banner — The 'Big news!' strip wraps awkwardly across two lines with no dismiss, taking a chunk of the fold before the hero.

CTA

84Strong

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

Dome

Problems

  • 'Sign Up' sells the form, not value
  • four words, past single fixation
  • no header echo of APIs/markets
