CTA

72Fair

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

EffiGov

Problems

  • 'Book' feels committal, sales-gated
  • cheaper 'Try the live demo' demoted
  • no header language echo

Mobile web

72Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture1234
  1. Hero headline block — Scales down too little — four tall lines push the primary CTA below the first viewport.
  2. Live briefing promo bar — Sticky promo deck stacks on top of the nav, spending header height on a secondary offer.
  3. Six-line body paragraph — Desktop-length copy wraps into six lines, further delaying the tap target.
  4. Wrapped eyebrow text — Letter-spaced label breaks onto two lines and adds vertical bloat above the headline.

Information hierarchy

76Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Save EffiGov's seat pill — Brightest, highest-contrast button on the page promotes a webinar, outranking the demo CTA at first glance.
  2. Hero CTA pair — White 'Book a Demo' and outlined 'Try the live demo' sit at near-equal weight, splitting the one action into two.
  3. Nav Book a Demo — Blue duplicate of the hero CTA adds a third demo button in view, diluting which one is primary.
  4. Read the case study — Arrow link inside the testimonial card offers an exit path right beside the conversion zone.

Value props

86Strong

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

EffiGov’s headline sellsAI phone agents, every department.Residents call the numbers they already know, and every line answers. A call can move from one department to the next, AI → AI or AI → staff, and residents never have to repeat themselves.

Working

  • Concrete mechanism: keep existing numbers
  • Kills the repeat-EffiGov pain point
  • Real proof: 12,000+ calls, 72% no staff

Could improve

  • H1 names category, not outcome
  • 'AI → AI' notation needs decoding
  • Proof numbers live in card, not copy
