Value props

72Fair

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

Arbital’s headline sellsTrade what's moving.Memes, stocks, and perps in one app.

Working

  • Subhead names three concrete asset classes
  • Live tickers and trade toast add urgency
  • Real volume counters back the claim

Could improve

  • Headline fits any brokerage
  • Hero art decorates, doesn't demo product
  • 2,622 traders reads small next to volume

Mobile web

78Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Dot-matrix headline — Faint dotted lettering makes "Trade what's moving." low-contrast and hard to read on a phone.
  2. Start Trading button — Desktop-proportioned width; should be near full-bleed for an easy thumb tap.
  3. Clipped ticker chip — Ticker chip cut off mid-label ("1%") at the left edge, looking broken rather than scrolling.

CTA

80Strong

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

Arbital
Gains Network (gTrade)

Problems

  • small footprint vs. huge headline
  • no free/no-deposit signal visible

Information hierarchy

82Strong

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Trade notification toast — Overlaps the headline's final word, colliding with the page's single most important message.
  2. X and Discord icons — Two outbound social exits sit directly beside the primary CTA at nav level.
  3. Scrolling ticker strip — Fourteen same-weight ticker chips add motion and reading load across the full fold width.
  4. Nav Start Trading button — Duplicates the hero CTA at equal blue weight, splitting the single action into two targets.
