Value props

68Fair

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

Async’s headline sellsRun your small business with AI agentsWork with Async to automate the administrative work you never wanted to do, with specialized AI agents.

Working

  • Names audience: small business owners
  • "never wanted to do" hits the pain
  • Low-friction CTA: free AI audit

Could improve

  • No numbers or named tasks
  • Hero area is empty white space
  • "administrative work" stays abstract

Information hierarchy

76Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Testimonial cards cropped — Both quote cards are cut off at the fold edge, showing partial content that weakens the social-proof beat.
  2. Contact button styling — Solid black pill matches the primary CTA's weight, creating a competing action at the top of the scan path.
  3. YC investor badge — Orange badge sits directly above the headline and pulls the first glance to investors before the value prop.

CTA

78Fair

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

Problems

  • 4 words, one over ideal
  • no 'free' claim visible
  • button smaller than headline scale

Mobile web

86Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.
