CTA

72Fair

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

Definite

Problems

  • "Request" feels costly, sales-gated
  • mobile nav shortens to "DEMO"
  • no self-serve or free path visible

Value props

72Fair

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

Definite’s headline sellsMake finance data usable by people and agents.Definite connects the systems your finance team already uses, then maps the entities, relationships, definitions, and lineage between them. The result is one context layer for reporting, reconciliation, dashboards, chat, APIs, and agent wor

Working

  • Outcome-first headline, not feature list
  • Subhead explains the actual mechanism
  • Names six concrete use cases

Could improve

  • No numbers or proof points anywhere
  • Hero image decorates, shows no product
  • "Usable" is flat; no emotional pull

Information hierarchy

78Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. REQUEST A DEMO button — Muted slate fill blends into the dark background; the primary action fails the one-second find test.
  2. YC announcement banner — Bright orange bar is the highest-contrast element on the page and links attention away before the headline.
  3. SEE HOW IT WORKS button — Same size and shape as the demo CTA, splitting the click at the decision point.

Mobile web

78Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Six-line body paragraph — Desktop-length copy wraps into six lines and shoves the primary CTA to the fold's edge.
  2. REQUEST A DEMO button — Sits at the very bottom of the first viewport; shorter screens will crop it below the fold.
  3. Nav DEMO pill — Duplicates the hero's REQUEST A DEMO with a vaguer label, splitting attention in the header.
