CTA

42Poor

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

Problems

  • no button — bare mailto link only
  • email click feels costly
  • no action verb in the link
  • cut off below fold on mobile

Mobile web

54Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Cut-off Work with us — The only CTA is a text link truncated at the bottom of the capture, far below the fold.
  2. Uncollapsed nav links — NEWS and CONSOLE sit as a desktop link row instead of a collapsed hamburger menu.
  3. Stacked body paragraphs — Four desktop-length paragraphs fill the fold, burying the action under prose.

Information hierarchy

58Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Email contact link — The sole conversion action is a small underlined mailto at the bottom of the copy, invisible to a one-second scan.
  2. Four paragraph stack — Four same-weight body paragraphs form a text wall with no headers or visual beats to guide scanning.
  3. Partner logo strip — Six equal-weight logo tiles crowd the fold's base and outrank the low-key email CTA above them.
  4. Console nav link — Console (with News beside it) is the most button-like element in the fold, pulling clicks from the contact action.

Trust

64Fair

Value props

78Fair

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

Lilac’s headline sellsLilac turns any GPU cluster into a reliable AI factory.We run GPU clusters for the data centers that own them and the AI companies that lease them. Every cluster we manage goes through rigorous testing before it bills, 24/7 monitoring after, and support from the engineers who built the platform

Working

  • 'Reliable AI factory' names the real outcome
  • 'Tested before it bills' is a concrete promise
  • Founder pain story adds credible emotion

Could improve

  • Zero numbers anywhere in the fold
  • Hero right side is empty decoration
  • Four paragraphs dilute the core promise
