Value props

76Fair

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

Proliferate’s headline sellsRun a team of coding agentsClaude Code, Codex, or any coding agent, each running in its own isolated workspace, or all working together.

Working

  • Headline names the real differentiator: a team
  • Subhead names Claude Code and Codex by name
  • Hero screenshot shows agents actually working

Could improve

  • No numbers or quantified outcome anywhere
  • No emotional hook — flat, affectless copy
  • Mobile typo: 'runningin' breaks the subhead

Information hierarchy

78Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Duplicate nav Download button — Black pill styled at the same weight as the hero CTA, splitting the primary action across two locations.
  2. GitHub and Discord links — Two outbound community links sit in the top-right scan path, leaking attention before the download decision.
  3. Announcement banner link — The topmost element is a clickable exit that outranks the headline in scan order without stating any benefit.
  4. Book a demo button — Equal size and placement beside Download for Mac dilutes the single-action focus of the hero.

CTA

78Fair

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

Problems

  • nav says 'Download', hero differs
  • no cost signal near the button
  • Mac-only excludes other platforms

Mobile web

86Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Download for Mac CTA — Primary action is a desktop-only download most phone visitors cannot complete on-device.
  2. Subheadline copy — Missing space renders as 'each runningin its own isolated workspace' — sloppy on the first thing read.
  3. Header Download pill — Duplicates the hero's Download CTA inches below it, adding a competing tap target.
