Mobile web

62Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Full-screen hero image — The photo fills the entire first viewport, pushing headline and CTA below the fold.
  2. Outline BOOK A DEMO — Hollow low-contrast border style makes the primary CTA read as secondary.

CTA

68Fair

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

Problems

  • demo click feels costly/committal
  • ghost outline style, weak footprint
  • no self-serve or in-product option

Information hierarchy

72Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Hero BOOK A DEMO — Ghost outline with thin orange text reads as secondary; the primary action should be a solid filled button.
  2. Nav link row — Six exits — How Cactus Works, services dropdown, Sign In, Blog, phone number — compete with the demo CTA at equal weight.
  3. Carousel dot indicators — Nine rotating slides mean the headline and hero can cycle away before the value prop lands.
  4. Logo strip creep — The 'Thriving with Cactus' logo band crowds into the fold and pulls the eye past the CTA before it is clicked.

Value props

78Fair

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

Cactus’s headline sellsAI revenue engine. Built for trades.Cactus answers every call, books every lead, and goes after the revenue already sitting in your business. Day and night.

Working

  • Names the audience: built for trades
  • Subhead lists concrete actions, not buzzwords
  • "Day and night" hits after-hours pain

Could improve

  • No numbers backing "every call, every lead"
  • Hero photo shows a plumber, not the product
  • "AI revenue engine" alone is abstract
