CTA

72Fair

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

Marengo

Problems

  • 'Give Us' frames click as cost
  • outcome of click unclear
  • four words, slightly long

Value props

76Fair

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

Marengo’s headline sellsAccelerated Data Center DevelopmentThe engineering firm reimagined for speed. Site Due Diligence through FEED and permitting design in half the traditional time.

Working

  • Names the outcome: speed to permit
  • Scope is concrete: FEED, permitting
  • 'Half the traditional time' quantifies

Could improve

  • No absolute timeline number
  • Hero image decorates, shows no work
  • Proof strip is investors, not clients

Mobile web

84Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Backed by badge row — Wraps onto two lines with 'Index Ventures Scout Fund' orphaned, looking broken above the headline.
  2. Headline wrap — Barely scaled desktop type wraps into three cramped lines that nearly touch the container edges.

Information hierarchy

86Strong

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture12
  1. See How It Works button — Same size and adjacency as the primary CTA creates a coin-flip choice; lighten it to text-link weight.
  2. Backed by badge strip — Bold logos and colored icons sit directly above the headline and win the first eye fixation over the value prop.
