Mobile web

58Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture1
  1. One account line — Oversized script overlaps the headline's descenders and crowds the paragraph below it.

Value props

62Fair

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

Locus’s headline undersellsEvery tool your agent needs. One account.Locus Pro gives AI ... thousands of paid ... provid...

Working

  • Outcome-led: one account, no API keys
  • Copy-paste MCP command shows the product
  • Agent-audience targeting is instant

Could improve

  • Subhead is illegible against background
  • No concrete numbers in the fold
  • Catalog size and providers unnamed

Information hierarchy

64Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Washed-out subheadline text — White text on the pale grid background makes the value-prop paragraph unreadable.
  2. Browse the Catalog button — Same size as the primary CTA beside it, splitting the one action into two equal choices.
  3. Nav Start Free button — Duplicates the hero CTA at full weight, adding a second purple target before the headline is read.
  4. MCP install widget — Four tabs plus a terminal command compete for attention inside the first viewport before the CTA converts.

CTA

84Strong

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

Locus

Problems

  • nav says 'START FREE', hero differs
  • terminal block competes for attention
  • hero button smaller than MCP widget
