Value props

28Poor

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

Panels’s headline vagueWe power the next generation of Voice AI

Working

  • Names the Voice AI category
  • Short and legible on both viewports

Could improve

  • No hint of what Panels does
  • No subhead, proof, or numbers
  • Gradient hero shows nothing

CTA

30Poor

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

  • mobile fold is headline-only
  • no next step after headline

Information hierarchy

42Poor

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture12
  1. Hero headline contrast — "next generation" fades into the pink-blue gradient at nearly the same luminance, making the core phrase hard to read.
  2. Home/Contact nav links — The only clickable elements above the fold are exits — with no CTA present, all attention leaks to these two links.

Mobile web

48Poor

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Hero headline block — No CTA accompanies the headline — the entire mobile fold offers nothing to tap.
  2. Panels wordmark — Dark serif logo nearly vanishes against the dusky gradient background.
  3. Hamburger menu icon — Thin low-contrast lines make the only interactive element easy to miss.
