Information hierarchy

72Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Start free trial button — White-filled nav button matches the hero CTA's weight, splitting the primary action across two locations.
  2. Get a demo button — Sits at nearly the same size directly beside 'Try cubic for free', diluting the single-action scan path.
  3. Benchmark banner link — 'Read the report →' is the first clickable element on the page and pulls attention off-site before the hero.
  4. Blank white logo — The wordmark renders as an empty white square, leaving the brand anchor unidentifiable at the fold's center.

Mobile web

76Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Clipped reassurance text — Line is truncated to "click install · No credit card need" — text overflows the container on mobile.
  2. Four-line hero headline — Headline scales down too little, wrapping to four lines and pushing the CTA to the viewport edge.
  3. Ragged subhead wrapping — "cubic finds hard-to-find bugs" breaks into four uneven lines with awkward hyphen splits.

Value props

78Fair

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

cubic’s headline sellsAI code reviews for complex codebasescubic finds hard-to-find bugs in pull requests and your entire codebase.

Working

  • Names outcome: finds hard-to-find bugs
  • Differentiates on complex codebases
  • #1 benchmark badge backs the claim

Could improve

  • No numbers quantifying bugs or time saved
  • Hero shows a black void, not the product
  • Subhead repeats "codebase" from headline

CTA

86Strong

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

cubic

Problems

  • 4 words, past 3-word ideal
  • nav says 'Start cubic's free trial'
  • mobile microcopy clipped at edges
