Mobile web

64Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Book a demo button — Primary CTA sits well below the first viewport, past the full-height hero illustration — visitors must scroll to convert.
  2. Hero illustration block — The pastoral artwork consumes roughly a third of the fold and pushes the CTA off-screen without adding conversion information.
  3. CTA button width — Desktop-proportioned pill floats centered at roughly half column width instead of a full-bleed thumb target.

CTA

68Fair

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

Problems

  • high-cost feel: implies sales call
  • no low-commitment alternative path
  • click delivers a meeting, not value

Trust

72Fair

Proof that the product is real, competent, and safe to try.

Value props

76Fair

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

Trellis’s headline sellsVacation rentals ran on chaos. Now they run on agents.Trellis is AI property management software for short-term rentals: agents answer your guests, coordinate your team, and run daily operations across your whole stack.

Working

  • Names the pain: 'ran on chaos'
  • Subhead lists concrete agent jobs
  • YC badge + customer quote add proof

Could improve

  • Hero art decorates, doesn't demo product
  • No hard numbers in headline or subhead
  • 'run on agents' assumes AI-agent literacy

Information hierarchy

82Strong

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Cropped testimonial card — Quote card is clipped at the fold edge, so the social proof reads as broken clutter instead of credibility.
  2. Header Book a demo — Duplicates the hero CTA at equal visual weight, splitting the one action across two targets.
  3. Six-item nav row — Product, Resources, Pricing, Careers plus Sign In offer five exits before the visitor reaches the demo ask.
