CTA

68Fair

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

Astro

Problems

  • click feels like work, not value
  • nav says 'Get in Touch' instead
  • generic label, ignores headline promise

Value props

74Fair

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

Astro’s headline sellsSteady income from your land for decadesAstro Energy develops solar and battery storage projects in Texas. Fair terms, transparent process, projects that get built.

Working

  • Outcome-led: income, not solar jargon
  • Names Texas and project types plainly
  • "Projects that get built" defuses stall fear

Could improve

  • No dollar figure or per-acre number
  • "Decades" vague — state lease term
  • No proof: projects built, MW, acres

Mobile web

76Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Contact Us button — Primary CTA is clipped at the bottom edge of the first viewport, easy to miss without scrolling.
  2. Learn More button — Secondary action stacks above the primary CTA, pushing Contact Us down and stealing the first tap.
  3. Subhead paragraph — Two sentences wrap into four loose lines, eating vertical space that displaces the CTA pair.

Information hierarchy

78Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Duplicate yellow CTA — Nav 'Get in Touch' matches the hero 'Contact Us' in color and weight, splitting the primary action between two buttons.
  2. Learn More ordered first — The ghost secondary button precedes 'Contact Us' in the scan path, so the exit link is read before the conversion action.
  3. Low-contrast ghost button — The thin outline of 'Learn More' nearly disappears against the busy panel-field photo, making the button pair hard to parse.
