CTA

44Poor

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

Problems

  • no CTA anywhere in either fold
  • nav 'Partner login' only gated action
  • headline question has no next step

Mobile web

58Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Hero glove image — Fills two-thirds of the fold with no CTA anywhere in the first viewport.
  2. Hamburger-only nav pill — Menu icon is the only tappable element on the fold; no conversion action surfaces.

Information hierarchy

62Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture12
  1. Truncated animated headline — The type-on effect cuts off at 'cru', so a static capture (and slow readers) see an incomplete promise.
  2. Three equal nav pills — 'Products', 'People', and 'Partner login' share identical weight, making the only clickable paths ambiguous exits.

Value props

68Fair

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

6thSense’s headline undersellsA robot can recognize a strawberry. But can it pick one without crushing it?

Working

  • Concrete, visceral problem framing
  • Strawberry image is memorable and specific
  • Hero glove hints at tactile sensing

Could improve

  • No subhead answering the question
  • Product's actual offer never stated
  • Typewriter animation hides copy on load
