CTA

64Fair

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

Problems

  • demo booking feels costly
  • self-serve path demoted to ghost btn
  • no product-value promise in click

Information hierarchy

82Strong

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Six-link top nav — Product, Pricing, Docs, Blog, Company, Sign in give six equal-weight exits before the visitor reaches the CTA.
  2. Start in 10 minutes — Ghost button gives no hint of its destination, splitting clicks with 'Book a demo' at the same size.
  3. Unlabeled logo strip — Thirteen dim greyscale icons carry no caption tying them to '137 integrations', so the proof reads as noise.

Value props

84Strong

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

Alter’s headline sellsThe auth layer for AI agents.Scoped credentials for apps and AI agents. No tokens to store, no OAuth flows to build, no audit pipeline to run.

Working

  • Names the buyer and category in 6 words
  • Subhead kills 3 concrete pains
  • Hero demo shows real auth flow

Could improve

  • Headline is category, not outcome
  • No numbers in headline or subhead
  • 'Auth layer' assumes insider vocabulary

Mobile web

84Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Book a demo CTA — Primary button spans only half the column; it duplicates the header pill and leaves thumb room to miss on a page where full-bleed is free.
  2. Header demo button — A second 'Book a demo' in the sticky header competes with the hero CTA and crowds the hamburger into the corner.
