CTA

62Fair

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

Problems

  • click feels like a sales meeting
  • no low-friction alternative CTA
  • no value promised for the click

Value props

72Fair

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

Hemlock’s headline sellsGive physical AI a sense of force.Force-annotated human demonstrations for physical AI. Collect with our Bracelet and API, or use data collected by Hemlock.

Working

  • Six-word headline names the exact gap: force
  • Subhead names Bracelet + API concretely
  • Hero shows the real collection hardware

Could improve

  • No numbers or dataset-scale proof
  • No buyer outcome named (better policies)
  • No logos or credibility markers in fold

Mobile web

82Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Hero Talk to us — Desktop-proportioned button floats at part width; should be near full-bleed for thumbs.
  2. Header Talk to us — Duplicates the hero CTA in the same viewport, splitting the tap target with no added value.

Information hierarchy

88Strong

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture12
  1. Duplicate header CTA — Styled at identical weight and label as the hero "Talk to us," splitting attention between two equal buttons.
  2. Floating account icon — Unlabeled circular icon bottom-right gives no hint of its purpose and pulls the eye away from the conversion path.
