Information hierarchy

68Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Get expert feedback button — The primary CTA is rendered in disabled grey, making the fold's one action the least visible element on the page.
  2. Join the waitlist button — The only high-contrast button in the fold sits in the nav corner and competes with the essay-input flow as the implied primary action.
  3. Exam board switch links — Five bolded links (IB English, VCE, HSC, QCE, WACE) sit directly between headline and input, adding a decision step before the action.
  4. Empty essay textarea — The large input shows only a truncated 'Past' placeholder, giving no instruction on what to paste or what happens next.

CTA

72Fair

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

Problems

  • submit appears disabled/greyed out
  • placeholder unclear ('Past…')
  • labels differ desktop vs mobile
  • nav pushes 'Join the waitlist' too

Value props

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

Working

  • Names exact buyer: IB teachers
  • Curriculum calibration is concrete proof
  • Interactive demo box shows the product

Could improve

  • No outcome or time-saved claim
  • Zero numbers anywhere in the fold
  • Copy is flat — no relief or emotion

Mobile web

82Strong

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Writing Replay screenshot — Desktop-density capture with illegible micro-text; eats a third of the fold and pushes the CTAs down without conveying value.
  2. Terms and Privacy links — Small inline text links sit directly under the tappable 'Scan an essay' button, inviting mis-taps.
