CTA

62Fair

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

Lamb Labs

Problems

  • click promises a conversation, not value
  • no outcome tied to headline's MPU claim
  • generic label; low urgency for a launch

Mobile web

68Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture1234
  1. Get in touch button — Desktop-proportioned pill at half column width, sitting at the fold edge instead of full-bleed.
  2. Nine-line body paragraph — Desktop-length copy stacks nine lines on the phone, pushing the CTA to the bottom of the viewport.
  3. Blackletter headline — Decorative gothic letterforms are hard to read at phone size and arm's length.
  4. Learn more link — Low-contrast text link competes with the primary CTA on the same row with a small tap target.

Information hierarchy

72Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Blackletter headline — Ornate glyphs against a busy painted backdrop make the core claim slow to parse at a glance.
  2. Six-line explainer paragraph — One uniform-weight text wall carries the entire value prop with no scannable breaks or emphasis hierarchy.
  3. Learn more link — Sits at the same baseline as the primary CTA and splits the click without a clear destination.

Value props

72Fair

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

Lamb Labs’s headline undersellsThe World's First MPULamb Labs is building MPUs (Model Processing Units). We hardcode the entire model, including its weights, into silicon. The model is the chip. This solves the memory-bandwidth bottleneck GPUs face, targeting 20,000+ tokens per second and 63

Working

  • Concrete numbers: 20,000+ tok/s, 63× per watt
  • 'The model is the chip' is vivid and clear
  • Names the GPU memory-bandwidth pain

Could improve

  • H1 is jargon; MPU means nothing to newcomers
  • Best line is buried mid-paragraph
  • Hero art decorates, never shows the product
