Value props

80Strong

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

Magnitude’s headline sellsRun the best local models for your machineMagnitude is an open source inference engine optimized for consumer hardware. Runs on Apple Silicon, NVIDIA, AMD, or nothing but a CPU.

Working

  • "for Magnitude's machine" nails the differentiator
  • Subhead names concrete hardware targets
  • Hero screenshot shows real hardware detection

Could improve

  • No numbers or performance proof in copy
  • Outcome of hardware matching left implicit
  • "best" claim unbacked above the fold

CTA

82Strong

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

Magnitude

Problems

  • no 'free' despite open source
  • desktop/mobile labels differ
  • button modest vs huge headline

Information hierarchy

86Strong

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Discord and GitHub buttons — Two boxed nav buttons match the primary CTA's visual weight and pull developers off-page before they download.
  2. Download for Linux CTA — Muted gray fill barely separates from the dark background, weaker contrast than the white GitHub button beside it.
  3. Other platforms link — Low-contrast text link directly under the CTA splits the download decision at the moment of action.

Mobile web

88Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. App screenshot — Shrunken desktop UI with unreadable labels adds no information at phone size.
  2. Four-line subhead — Long paragraph pushes the primary CTA lower in the fold than it needs to be.
