CTA

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

Problems

  • click feels costly — sales convo
  • no hero CTA under headline
  • small nav-corner footprint
  • no value payoff named

Value props

58Fair

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

Zavo’s headline vagueUnlocking the world’s most valuable data for frontier AI.We source hard-to-access healthcare and physical-world data, then turn it into AI-ready datasets, environments and evaluations.

Working

  • Subhead names real inputs and outputs
  • “Hard-to-access” signals scarcity value
  • YC badge adds credibility

Could improve

  • Headline is an abstraction stack
  • Zero numbers or proof points
  • Globe decorates, doesn’t demonstrate

Information hierarchy

72Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Contact us button — Small, low-contrast light pill in the far corner sits outside the centered scan path and is the only action on the page.
  2. Y Combinator badge — The orange YC badge is the highest-chroma element in the fold, outranking the headline and the CTA in visual pull.
  3. Healthcare Robotics nav — Two same-weight nav links sit closer to the logo than the CTA does, offering exits before the pitch lands.

Mobile web

72Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture1
  1. Header Contact us pill — The only CTA in the fold is a small header pill, not a full-width button near the hero copy.
