Value props

72Fair

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

Marble’s headline sellsThe autonomous back of house for restaurants.The first self-driving operating system for restaurant groups. Powering the way you order, prep, schedule, and more so your business runs more profitably.

Working

  • Names the audience: restaurant groups
  • Concrete jobs: order, prep, schedule
  • Profitability outcome stated

Could improve

  • Zero numbers or proof metrics
  • "Autonomous" needs decoding
  • Hero art decorates, doesn't demo

CTA

74Fair

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

Marble

Problems

  • demo click feels like a sales call
  • no product value in the click
  • generic label, no header echo

Information hierarchy

82Strong

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Learn more button — Outlined button at near-equal weight sits beside the primary CTA and splits the click.
  2. Nav dropdown row — Four dropdowns plus Sign in offer five exit paths before the hero CTA is read.
  3. Duplicate header CTA — Second "Get a demo" in the header competes with the hero button for the same action.
  4. Grey kitchen illustration — Uniformly grey rendering lacks a focal point, so the large visual pulls the eye without paying it off.

Mobile web

86Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Learn more button — Full-width and near-equal weight to the primary CTA, splitting tap focus.
  2. Header Get a demo — Duplicates the hero CTA in the same viewport, adding redundant clutter to the collapsed nav.
