CTA

38Poor

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

Cortical Labs
Koniku

Problems

  • no CTA anywhere in the fold
  • nav links are the only actions
  • press strip has no action attached

Mobile web

52Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Hero headline block — No primary CTA accompanies the headline — the fold offers nothing to tap toward conversion.
  2. Desktop nav link row — Three uncollapsed text links instead of a hamburger; they are the only tappable elements and none convert.
  3. Clipped press logo — Leftmost 'FEATURED IN' logo is cut to a sliver at the screen edge, breaking the credibility strip.

Information hierarchy

58Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture12
  1. Clipped CNN logo — The first press logo is cut off at the left edge, making the credibility strip look broken.
  2. Top-right nav links — RESEARCH, NEWS, and ABOUT are the only clickable elements in the fold, so all attention leaks into secondary pages.

Trust

58Fair

Proof that the product is real, competent, and safe to try.

Value props

62Fair

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

Parasma’s headline undersellsWe train brain cells for compute.

Working

  • Names the real product in six words
  • Provocative, memorable phrasing
  • Elite press logos back the claim

Could improve

  • No subhead explaining the payoff
  • Zero numbers or concrete outcomes
  • Empty fold; nothing shows the tech
