Value props

68Fair

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

awen’s headline undersellsCreate any visual from conversation

Working

  • Names the mechanism plainly
  • Prompt box demonstrates product
  • Strong logo proof: eBay, Puig, Acne

Could improve

  • No subhead adds specifics
  • No numbers or outcomes
  • 'Any visual' too broad for ICP

Information hierarchy

72Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Try for free vs prompt box — Two same-priority actions — the black CTA and the prompt input both invite the first click, splitting the visitor's next step.
  2. Go to app button — Styled identically to the hero CTA (black pill), so the strongest-weight element in the fold points away from signup.
  3. Talk to the team link — Low-contrast gray text sits beside the primary CTA with no button affordance, reading as disabled rather than clickable.
  4. Faded client logos — Marcel, Marine Serre, and eBay marks are washed out to near-invisibility, wasting the fold's only social proof.

Trust

72Fair

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

Mobile web

78Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture123
  1. Try for free button — Desktop-proportioned pill at half column width instead of a full-bleed thumb target.
  2. Cropped background images — Faded, half-clipped photos behind the header look like broken assets, not intentional design.
  3. Prompt input field — A second interactive element competing with Try for free splits the primary action on a small screen.

CTA

86Strong

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

Problems

  • input submit is unlabeled icon
  • nav labels compete: Go to app, Sign up
  • placeholder lacks action verb
