CTA

58Fair

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

Information hierarchy

72Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Video explainer button — Yellow fill makes this secondary action the brightest element, outranking both conversion CTAs.
  2. Call us button — Black-on-dark-video styling gives the conversion action the weakest contrast in the button row.
  3. Book a call button — Duplicates the hero's phone ask with a different label, splitting one action into two competing commands.
  4. Nav link row — Five links sit directly beside the CTA at equal weight, offering exits before the pitch lands.

Value props

76Fair

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

Dayjob’s headline sellsAI scheduling built for dumpstersStop losing margin to inefficient scheduling. Complete more jobs per truck every day with AI that works with the systems you have already.

Working

  • Names exact vertical in six words
  • Subhead ties pain to margin
  • Real ops footage, not stock decor

Could improve

  • No number on jobs-per-truck gain
  • Only proof is YC badge
  • "Systems Dayjob have already" is vague

Mobile web

78Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Six-line subheadline block — Body copy wraps six lines and shoves the CTA row to the fold's bottom edge.
  2. Split CTA row — The dark 'Call us' button is smaller and dimmer than the yellow 'Video explainer', so the secondary action wins the tap.
  3. Call us button — Desktop-proportioned half-width button instead of a full-bleed thumb target.
