Value props

38Poor

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

Wavedash’s headline vagueRecommendedSign in for favorites, friends, messages, cloud saves, and your profile.

Working

  • Game grid instantly shows the catalog
  • Banner names concrete perks: cloud saves, friends
  • Rich genre tags aid scanning

Could improve

  • No headline stating what Wavedash is
  • No 'play free in browser' promise
  • Banner sells the account, not the product

CTA

58Fair

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

Problems

  • no 'free' despite free account
  • small footprint vs game grid
  • no Play affordance on tiles

Trust

Information hierarchy

62Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Sign in / Sign up buttons — Two identical ghost-outline buttons split the primary action; neither reads as the main CTA.
  2. Sidebar sign-up module — Duplicates the banner CTAs with Google/Apple buttons plus another Sign in, creating five competing account entry points.
  3. Signed-out banner copy — "Wavedash is browsing Wavedash signed out" states a status instead of the product's value proposition.
  4. Card overflow menus — Every card carries a same-weight three-dot menu, adding eight repeated controls that clutter the scan path.

Mobile web

62Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Header sign-in pills — Small desktop-proportioned buttons are the only CTAs in the fold — no thumb-friendly full-width action.
  2. Scavenger game card — Dense desktop gameplay screenshot with tiny HUD text reads as noise at phone size and offers no visible play action.
