Value props

76Fair

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

Narrative’s headline undersellsThe AI-first video editorBring your footage, say what you want made, and cut it together with an editor that does the work with you.

Working

  • Subhead describes the real workflow
  • Hero demo shows prompt-to-edit in 12s
  • No abstraction-stack buzzwords

Could improve

  • Headline is category, not outcome
  • No numbers in the copy itself
  • 'AI-first' is positioning, not value

Information hierarchy

78Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Header Get started button — Second black pill-styled CTA competes at equal weight with the hero's "Get started for free" button.
  2. Get the iOS app — Secondary CTA sits side-by-side with the primary at nearly identical size, splitting the action into two paths.
  3. Nav link row — Four exit links (Editor, Showcase, Features, Blog) plus Log in leak attention before the primary action.

CTA

82Strong

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

Problems

  • 4 words — over 3-word ideal
  • header says 'Get started' — mismatch
  • no echo of 'AI-first editor' promise

Mobile web

86Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Header missing menu — Nav collapses to logo plus CTA only — Editor, Showcase, Features, and Blog have no hamburger fallback on mobile.
  2. Product demo screenshot — The editor UI is a scaled desktop panel; its chat transcript dominates the frame while the actual video preview shrinks to a thumbnail.
