CTA

72Fair

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

Nautilus

Problems

  • click feels like a sales meeting
  • no product value in the label
  • two 'Book' CTAs compete in hero

Mobile web

72Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture1234
  1. Book a demo button — Primary CTA sits below the first viewport; visitors must scroll past four lines of body copy to reach it.
  2. Sticky bottom CTA bar — Bottom bar duplicates 'Book a demo' but is cluttered by the 'See it on Nautilus's POS' label and a large chat bubble squeezed beside it.
  3. Chat launcher bubble — Oversized chat launcher overlaps the sticky bar's edge and covers the trust logo strip beneath it.
  4. Announcement banner pill — The 'Oct 6–7 NRCC' banner is the first tappable element in the hero, competing with the headline before the value prop.

Information hierarchy

76Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Book a booth meeting — Secondary button matches the primary CTA's size and placement, splitting the demo click.
  2. Carwash Con banner — Dark clickable pill sits directly above the headline and outranks it in the scan path.
  3. Seven-item nav row — Products through Contact offer six exits before the visitor reads the value prop.
  4. Backed by Combinator — Orange outbound link sits right below the CTA pair, pulling attention off-page.

Value props

76Fair

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

Could improve

  • No numbers or proof metrics in fold
  • No product visual demonstrating value
  • Desktop/mobile headlines disagree
