CTA

76Fair

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

Dawn Industries

Problems

  • primary click only scrolls the page
  • 'the incident' unclear to new visitors
  • high-value 'Book a pilot' demoted

Value props

78Fair

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

Dawn Industries’s headline sellsWhen a robot cell stops, VIM gets it running again.Our system VIM reads the fault, finds the cause in your manuals and machine logs, and gives the operator one safe next action.

Working

  • Names the exact pain moment: cell stops
  • Subhead explains the mechanism clearly
  • Outcome-first, zero buzzwords

Could improve

  • No numbers: recovery time, downtime cost
  • Hero shows logo, not product in action
  • No proof beyond YC badge

Information hierarchy

82Strong

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Dual-primary button pair — Green 'Watch the incident' and 'Book a pilot' compete; combined with the nav's styled 'Book a pilot', the fold signals two primary actions.
  2. Backed by YC banner — Full-width orange-accented strip sits above the hero and pulls the first glance to an endorsement instead of the headline.
  3. Nav Book a pilot — White filled button duplicates the hero CTA at equal weight, splitting attention across the top edge of the fold.

Mobile web

86Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Y Combinator banner — A second sticky strip under the header eats viewport height for a badge that belongs in the hero.
  2. Duplicate Book a pilot — The same "Book a pilot" CTA appears in the header and below the primary button, splitting attention without adding a new action.
