Mobile web

68Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Oversized headline block — Monospace headline barely scaled down; four tall lines push the CTAs to the fold's bottom edge.
  2. Book a demo button — Desktop-proportioned outlined button, narrower and less prominent than the command block above it.
  3. Five-line subheadline — Body copy scaled too large, wrapping five lines and crowding the space before the CTAs.

Value props

70Fair

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

Sourcebot’s headline undersellsCode understanding for humans and agentsSourcebot is a self-hosted tool that helps humans and agents search, navigate, and understand complex enterprise codebases.

Working

  • "self-hosted" flags the key differentiator
  • "humans and agents" signals AI relevance
  • npx command shows instant setup path

Could improve

  • No numbers or concrete outcomes
  • Hero graphic decorates, never demonstrates
  • "Code understanding" is abstract on its own

CTA

72Fair

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

Sourcebotin-product action

Problems

  • no payoff copy near command
  • bare copy icon, no labeled affordance
  • nav pushes 'Book a demo' as primary
  • no verb or benefit in command itself

Trust

72Fair

Proof that the product is real, competent, and safe to try.

Information hierarchy

78Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Dual hero actions — Dark command box and outline 'Book a demo' carry equal weight, splitting the visitor's next step.
  2. Nav Book a demo — Duplicates the hero CTA at heavier visual weight, pulling attention to the corner of the scan path.
  3. docs link placement — Underlined exit link sits directly beneath the action cluster, intercepting attention before conversion.
