CTA

72Fair

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

OpenRelay
Together AI
OpenRouter

Problems

  • caption demands card + deposit
  • 'free' contradicted by microcopy
  • arrow-only payoff, no value hint

Value props

72Fair

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

OpenRelay’s headline sellsThe inference delivery network.Automatically route every request to the best provider based on latency, cost, availability, and model performance.

Working

  • Subhead names four concrete routing criteria
  • Hero shows real model catalog, not decoration
  • CDN-style analogy makes the category instantly legible

Could improve

  • No numbers: latency, cost savings, or model count
  • No emotional payoff — pure mechanism, no outcome
  • Headline assumes reader knows what inference is

Information hierarchy

78Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Right-aligned CTA pair — CTAs float far right of the left-aligned headline, outside the natural top-left scan path.
  2. Five-item nav cluster — Products, Pricing, Docs, Blog, Company plus Sign in create eight exits competing with Start free.
  3. Book a demo button — Near-equal size and adjacency to Start free splits the click between two actions.

Mobile web

84Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Side-by-side CTA pair — Two half-width buttons split the tap target; neither gets the full-bleed thumb-friendly width mobile deserves.
  2. Dashboard screenshot — Desktop-density UI shrunk to phone width — model names and tags are illegible and add no information at this size.
