CTA

72Fair

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

Skymerse
RocketRoute

Problems

  • 'Request' feels like asking, waiting
  • demo gate = sales-call cost-feel
  • no product-value payoff in label

Mobile web

78Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Request a demo button — Desktop-proportioned pill at roughly half the column width; should be near full-bleed for thumb reach.
  2. See how it works — Low-contrast grey link nearly vanishes against the black background, burying the secondary path.
  3. Ops screenshot labels — Map labels like EPWA and LIRF render far too small to read at phone size.

Information hierarchy

82Strong

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. CONTACT nav button — Bordered button styling gives it CTA weight, competing with 'Request a demo' at the top of the scan path.
  2. Alert detail panel — The dashboard's right panel shows 'ACTION REQUIRED 1' with no visible alert content, blunting the product demo's payoff.
  3. See how it works — Sits at near-equal size beside the primary CTA, splitting the click at the decision moment.

Value props

84Strong

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

Skymerse’s headline sells3 hours of flight planning per flight. Automated.Your schedule flows in. Every flight is matched against live NOTAMs, weather, and operational limits: aircraft type, runway, RFFS. You don't monitor. You receive decisions.

Working

  • Specific number quantifies the pain
  • "Skymerse don't monitor. Skymerse receive decisions."
  • Hero shows real ops console, not decoration

Could improve

  • Headline can misread as time required
  • No customer or scale proof beyond YC badge
  • Desktop alert panel is mostly empty
