Information hierarchy

72Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Book a Demo pair — Two 'Book a Demo' buttons in one fold — the nav version competes with the hero pair and splits the primary action.
  2. Terminal screenshot panel — Dense CLI help text is unreadable at this size, adding cognitive load without communicating the 6-second-branch outcome.
  3. Get started CTA — Terminal-style low-key styling and small footprint keep the primary CTA visually near-equal to the outlined 'Book a Demo' beside it.

CTA

72Fair

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

Problems

  • generic label, no payoff
  • same size as secondary CTA
  • nav pushes 'Book a Demo' instead

Trust

Mobile web

78Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Side-by-side CTA pair — Two half-width buttons split the thumb target; Get started should be full-bleed with Book a Demo stacked as secondary.
  2. Hatched divider strip — Decorative crosshatch band below the header burns vertical space and pushes the headline and CTA lower in the first viewport.
  3. Terminal screenshot text — The pixelated CLI capture renders its command text far too small to read at phone size, adding noise without information.

Value props

84Strong

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

Ardent’s headline sellsUse coding agents on real data with no riskCreate copies of any Postgres database in under 6 seconds so coding agents can verify their code works in prod

Working

  • Names a real fear: agents touching prod data
  • "Under 6 seconds" is a concrete, credible number
  • Terminal hero shows actual CLI commands

Could improve

  • "No risk" claim never explained (isolation?)
  • Hero terminal shows help text, not a workflow
  • Logo wall lacks a supporting proof stat
