Value props

72Fair

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

Wafer’s headline sellsInference that keeps getting betterWafer learns how your workload behaves and continuously optimizes the serving stack for better performance, reliability, and efficiency.

Working

  • Headline names the compounding-improvement mechanic
  • Hero graph shows 230→400 TOK/S gains, not decoration
  • 2T+ tokens badge adds scale proof

Could improve

  • Subhead ends in abstraction triple
  • No quantified outcome in headline or subhead
  • No emotional payoff — what tuning-free feels like

CTA

76Fair

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

Problems

  • competes with nav's 'Open App' label
  • small footprint vs huge headline
  • no payoff or outcome hinted in copy

Mobile web

78Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Funding announcement bar — Wraps to two stacked lines on mobile and consumes a large slice of the first viewport before the brand or value prop appears.
  2. Start Building button — Keeps desktop proportions instead of stretching to a full-width, thumb-friendly tap target.
  3. Chart metric label — The 'engine tuned 230 TOK/S' overlay floats mid-page with low contrast against the clouds, reading as stray text rather than a chart annotation.

Information hierarchy

82Strong

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Open App pill — Styled at equal weight to Start Building, splitting the primary click between two pills.
  2. Funding banner Learn more — Top-of-page exit link outranks the hero and pulls the first click off the conversion path.
  3. Start Building button — Ghost-white pill on a pale sky background reads softer than the nav's Open App it competes with.
