Value props

62Fair

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

Pennant’s headline vagueThe CorpGov OS for Public CompaniesEmpower your team with voting & governance intelligence built for you, and apply your own principles at scale

Working

  • Hero screenshot shows real product doing its job
  • Founder credibility line adds proof
  • Names a clear audience segment

Could improve

  • 'CorpGov OS' assumes insider knowledge
  • 'Empower' and 'at scale' are affectless filler
  • No numbers or concrete outcomes anywhere

Trust

62Fair

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

CTA

70Fair

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

Pennant
Glass Lewis

Problems

  • click feels gated, not valuable
  • competes with 'Schedule Demo' in nav
  • no payoff or product value implied

Mobile web

78Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Dashboard screenshot — Desktop-density product image shrunk to phone width; every label and table cell is unreadably small.
  2. Request Access button — Button sits at roughly half column width instead of the near-full-bleed size mobile thumbs expect.

Information hierarchy

82Strong

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture12
  1. Schedule Demo button — Second high-weight CTA with a different verb than "Request Access," splitting the fold's one intended action.
  2. Rotating headline word — The animated headline cycles audience segments, so the core value prop reads differently — or mid-blur — depending on the moment.
