CTA

62Fair

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

Dispatch
Outpost
The Exploration Company

Problems

  • no value payoff in label
  • click feels like sales commitment
  • header says 'CONTACT US' instead
  • generic — no product language

Value props

62Fair

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

Dispatch’s headline undersellsbringing space down to earthHigh-frequency cargo return at a fraction of the cost

Working

  • Subhead names real category: cargo return
  • Cost and frequency angles both present
  • Capsule render shows the actual hardware

Could improve

  • Headline is a pun, not a value claim
  • No numbers backing cost or cadence claims
  • YC badge is the only proof point

Mobile web

68Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Uncollapsed nav row — Full desktop link row stacked under the logo forms a double-decker header with cramped tap targets instead of a hamburger.
  2. GET IN TOUCH button — Desktop-proportioned pill floats at under half the column width; a near-full-bleed button would be easier to thumb-tap.

Information hierarchy

78Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Duplicate contact buttons — "CONTACT US" in the nav competes at equal weight with "GET IN TOUCH" below, splitting the single conversion action.
  2. Headline over solar panels — "bringing space" overlaps the satellite's panel line-art, reducing legibility of the core promise.
  3. Cropped YC badge — "Backed by Y Combinator" is cut off mid-text at the fold edge, wasting a trust signal and looking broken.
