CTA

32Poor

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

Problems

  • no CTA anywhere in the fold
  • nav only offers Team and Hiring
  • no path for buyers to act

Mobile web

48Poor

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Investor logo strip — Six logos squeezed into one row shrink to illegible thumbnails on a phone.
  2. Four-line headline — Desktop headline scales down too little, wrapping into four heavy lines that dominate the fold.
  3. Uncollapsed nav links — Desktop text links kept instead of a hamburger; small tap targets crowd the logo.

Value props

52Fair

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

Ultrasonium’s headline vagueThe next generation of metals manufacturingWe make the world's most difficult metal parts faster, cheaper, and more versatile.

Working

  • Subhead names buyer outcomes: faster, cheaper
  • Strong investor logos build instant trust
  • Clear industry targeting: metal parts

Could improve

  • Headline is a generic category claim
  • No numbers backing faster/cheaper
  • Hero image decorates, shows no part

Information hierarchy

58Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture12
  1. Team/Hiring nav links — The only clickable elements in the fold both route attention away from a nonexistent primary action.
  2. Backed-by logo strip — Investor logos occupy the fold's action slot where a CTA should sit, closing the page on social proof instead of a next step.

Trust

58Fair

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